Benelli Vinci

[Walleye71]

Looking at a new shotgun. I wanted the super black eagle II but it only comes in a 3 1/2 inch and those are terrible at ejecting 2 3/4 shells.

The Vinci fit really well but I'm a little pesimistic about it because i don't know anybody that owns one. I will use the gun primarily for Pheasant hunting. Not much of a duck hunter.

IF anybody has owns one, please let me know how you feel about it.

Thanks!

I have an SBE2 and have never had a problem with 2 3/4 inch shells ejecting to include trap loads.

I use a superblack for deer hunting, it has the rifle barrel, and never had an issue with the 2 3/4 shells,

I was thinking about the vinci this year too, but id like to find somewere that will let me shoot a few rounds before i decide to buy it

The SBE II will have to be very dirty to not eject 2 3/4" shells. I shoot with a few guys that have them and they love them for every application.

Here's another vote for the SBE2.

I have run thousands of 2 3/4 inch trap loads through mine and have never had a problem ejecting and cycling shells --- I have never had even 1 shell not cycle through it correctly.

I have a older sbe and it has been a great gun. Yes it has screwed up when hunting in late season snow storms and one time i fell and filled the action with mud and it froze.

I have been looking at the vinci and the ultra light benelli.'

I think i am going with the ultra light and keep my sbe for 3.5 in goose loads.

My brother bought one last year before pheasant season. It has worked well for him. No problem ejecting shells. I believe he used it deer hunting too. I did not deer hunt with him last year as I was out of town for work.

The gun looks nice and disassembles easily. Personally, it it out of my price range but I drool looking at it.
