    Benelli should not have let him get away.
  2. To me it comes down to if you shoot 3.5" or not. The Vinci is a better gun IMO. The design is truly incredible. If you ever need to break the Vinci down in the field, there are no caps, pins, or parts to lose. The inertia system is also located inn a spot that seems to balance the gun and lessen muzzle jump. I have never shot any gun that stays on target like the Vinci. To me, it is the ultimate shotgun on the market. I think the Vinci is worth the upgrade.
  3. Any decent gunsmith can do this and its not that expensive.
  4. I think I have tripled but is been a loooong time. I know I have never done it on three greenheads!!! No retriever, mine hurt his leg two seasons ago and is now retired. But the birds were easy to find. Two were dead in the decoys and the third about 30yds behind me. Fun hunt
  5. I got my first triple inn a long time this morning. I lit 4 mallards in the hole and tripled on all greenheads! the hen made it out. I love this gun!
  6. I'm shooting black cloud but Hevi Metal is a great load. My buddy shoots it amd its deadly.
  7. The supernova has the comfortech stock, larger trigger guard, and I think the stock can be removed. It is just an upgraded nova. However, the Nova is just as reliable and performance wise there isn't any difference. The supernova will have less recoil bc of the stock. I have had a Nova since the first year they came out. It was my primary duck, turkey, and dove gun for the last decade (or however old they are) it has thousands of rounds through it and has never had one single problem. The only issue was a gumped up firing pin bc I hadn't cleaned it in several years! I just retired k it to my backup gun bci bought a Vinci. However, it will probably still be my turkey gun bc its camo and I have chokes for it. ,Anyway these pumps are unbeatable. There is nothing on the market better in my opinion. The supernova had some cool options and that's what I would get but the Nova would save you some jack and give you the same performance. Either way...enjoy and I hope you get as much use out of yours as I did.
  8. I posted this on another board and I'm sure there have been plenty of talk aboutthe Vinci but I'm new here so thought I would post my opinion. I hope you find it helpful. Well, I went to buy a SBE2 or extrema 2 and ended up with a Vinci. After shouldering the Vinci I knew it was the gun I wanted. I like to have 3.5" capabilities but I was willing to give that up for a gun that felt better. So I have been into the birds pretty good lately and here is my take on the Vinci. Right off the bat it is the best shooting hunting gun I have ever shot. The gun is light, balanced, and points like a dream. It feels like it was custom made for me. There is definitely something to the design bc there is nearly zero muzzle jump. You can shoot and be back on target nearly instantly. I cant emphasize that enough! The recoil is also less than any other inertia gun I have shot. My buddy and I traded back and forth with his Extrema 2 and couldn't tell much of difference. We were shooting 3" Bc and hevI shot. Again I think the design makes it shoot softer than the M2 or SBE2. Luckily the safety didn't bother me at all BUT it will bother some. It is at the front of the trigger guard and a little further than usual. It fits my hand fine but if you have smaller fingers then this could be annoying. The actual trigger is great....very nice pull. The ability to easily break a gun down is nice but most new autos are fairly simple. The great part about the vinci is that by taking the forearm off you can get to every part of the gun that you need to clean except for the firing pin etc....if you have to break it down in the field, there are no pins, caps, screws our anything else to worry about. Twist the cap and you are done. Truly impressive. Overall I am much more impressed with the Vinci then I thought I was going to be. I'm not loyal to any brand but Benelli hit a homer with this one. If you don't care about 3.5" then the Vinci is unbeatable IMO. Forgot to add that the hard case that comes with the gun stinks. Its cheap feeling, awkward, and overall useless. I would expect more from a.$1300 gun. Excuse the many errors...sent from my Droid X.
  9. Both are awesome guns. The Vinci offers some advantages such as the way it breaks down, its lighter but not by much, and lastly shootability. If the gun fits you it points better IMO. Having said that, its hard to beat the SBE 2. If you don't care about 3.5" then I would take the Vinci (i did by a Vinci last week amd its the best gun I've ever shot) but you can't lose with either one.
  10. I have patterned many choke tubes out of my Nova. IMHO, the Briley Duck(light Modified) is the best for ducks. Mine likes Federal High Velocity 3.5" BB, 2, and 4 shot. As well as, Kent in the same shot sizes. Other chokes performed nearly as well but no better and cost much more.
