I've never heard this. With an inertia style action you would think it would be the exact opposite. In fact the only time I've had problems with action not cycling properly was when I let a friend of mine shoot it. We were shooting trap loads and he weighs about 130 soaking wet. He never shot a gun before and the gun didn't cycle well for him when he didn't shoulder it properly. I didn't have any problems when I shot but I'm pretty solid (concrete wall)

I was holding off buying a SBE II until the Vinci came out. I was thinking it was supposed to be the next great SBE II but it seems far from it. I'm sure they will come out with the new barrels and slug versions but I'm sure they will be more expensive since the receiver is integrated. I hope they come out with the 3 1/2 inch version as well as 24 inch barrel options. Don't know how it compares to the SBE II in recoil but I can't imagine it being that much better. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the SBE II instead. If the Vinci is that much better maybe I'll get one later but it's too early to put all my eggs in the Vinci basket. Right now the SBE II still seems much superior for all around hunting.
