What's the lightest loads you Vinci owners can shoot? I'm getting kinda tired of my SBE2 not cycling 1 oz. loads.
I shoot 1 and an eighth, but i used to shoot one ounce and no probs through atleast 1000

Hey all,
I have a Benelli M2 and use it for Trap shooting. Anyone know how to make or what is a good shell catcher for this model?
now I bought the birchwood casey shell catcher and its awful well for me atleast mested up my sight alignment for competition cost me alot of targets just bad, so since its required I have a catcher my mom actually took elastic and sewed it to the exact size so i just slide it on and off wen needed no tape just like a rubber band but not a big blue or some color sticking out, my gun is black so she got black elastic, just a sugestion

I own both the SBE II and the Vinci. They are both remarkable guns and I like them both. When I was hearing the talk about how ugly the Vinci was I told myself I just have to have one of them. I used it for dove hunting and what I will say is an ugly gun turned quite beutifull to say the least. I shoot nothing bigger than 3" ever therfore the Vinci is it. I really enjoyed the Vinci and it caughed out everything it was fed with ease. I also shot it with great results. It is one of those guns that just braught a smile to my face. In my eyes the Vinci is the hands down choice "period":D
yup both great guns but the vinci has just that extra that makes it come allitle ahead of the others, and again exactly right 3" is all thats needed

Hummm? I never heard of clubs like that. But hey, it's quite possible. A lot of Canadian hunters don't like shooting 3.5" because A) there's no need for it. B) it's expensive to buy and serves no necessary purpose. C) you may be seen as a show off as the majority of Canadian hunters don't have the $$$ to shoot fancy 3.5" gunners. D) all of the above.
But only in Canada...
hows the descision going?

im actually looking at two new calls to add to my collection the duck commander green mile and the duck commander sarge, but i want to ask for a duck commander 72 series in burnt hedge wood for christmas. im almost as addicted to duck calls as I am to duck hunting:D

some dont even allow 3.5 depends were your going.
_________________________________________
Not sure where this info would come from, but I never heard of any restrictions on the shell size. In Canada, they're is two rules.
1- You have to shoot steel.
2- 2+1 in chamber.
If there is any special rule on shell size anywhere in Canada, it must be from a private hunting reserve.
now this is just what I think 5 or 6 clubs say ill try to get the names of the places from the guy who goes but i think its kinda the same sitiation here with waterfowlers getting tired of shooting the biggest shell they can and start shooting 20g for the challeng atleast allitle more challenge but I know its some clubs in canadas rules that you cant shoot anything over 3"

I watched the promo video and you are right. The magazine tube is designed to be quickly removed by pushing a button and twisting it off.
The questions now are:
How quickly can it be removed and replaced?
Can it be removed and replaced while loaded?
And the big one, how much is an extra mag tube, and will it ever be available for purchase?
We've got some Vinci owners here.
I look forward to hearing from them on this.
They can answer the first two easily.
you cant actually take it off in the field and switch in for quik extra three shots if u take the mag tube out while the whole gunis together it wont stay up becouse one of the connections is when you turn the tube in

90 to 95 % of the ducks we kill are because we are where they want to be, not the call. Use what you can afford and what you like.
yep my grandpa gave me two of the old now antique ps olts the 66 and dr 115 right after I started my collection and I wanna use them this year atleast a few times just see what happends. and I practice my calls atleast 30 mins a day i dont know if its neccasary or not but maybe it will help

I currently own a SBE II and happy with it. My friend wants to buy a new Benelli, but is confused on which one is the best between the SBE II or VINCI. We haven't had a chance to try the VINCI as we live in Canada and won't be available to us until Dec. 2009.
SBE II = 2.75", 3", and 3.5"
VINCI = 2.75", 3", lighter and less recoil.
Does anyone have both or has anyone been able to test both and what is your preference?
SBE II or VINCI?
Should he wait for the VINCI or buy the SBE II now?
This would be mainly for Waterfowlling.
Opinions please would be grateful.
Thanks
heres my opinion, if he has longer arms the vinci would probabley fit better sounds stupid but my friend has a sbe2 and we went sporting clay shooting a couple weeks ago and we shoot trap reguarly so I took a few shots with his and it comes up too short for me but the vinci slides into place perfect even with all my waterfowl gear on if hes got shorter arms ide go with a sbe2, now were I hunt we decoy our ducks so 3.5 isnt neccasary. yet my friend just likes the bragging rights of being twig shaped and shooting 3.5 and he hunts same conditions as me. and the vinci has actually been field tested and proven to preform better than the sbe not in ducks yet but pheasent and dove. and they shoot about the same honestly his jams alot more mine has never jamed and i shoot about 250 shells a week outa it. dont get me wrong I love both guns it just depends your condidtion, and actually speeking of canada hunting my sisters husband goes hunting in random places out in canada for geese and all the guides that are out there shoot 2 and three quarter, witch is real interesting for those geese and sopposabley they reccomend using 2 and three quarter some dont even allow 3.5 depends were your going in my opinion you can take down waterfowl like a sportsman with 2 and three quarter Im shooting three inch this year just couse I wanna try it but ill probably still buy some 2 and three quarter shells

Porting the barrel does make a difference as far as muzzle jump. They drill the wholes in angles so the gas works against the jump. Chokes are ported all around, and the gas is let out in all directions making no difference in muzzle jump. Shotguns are low pressure guns, and porting the muzzle has little effect on shotguns, but very noticeable affects on high power rifles. Manufactures may claim that ported chokes pattern better, but the pattern board does not.
well how many times have you patterned your let me guess TRAP gun:D compared to a kicks highflyer choke out of a benelli? maybe that will give you a nice answer becouse one of my friends has a peraze or however you spell it mx2000 and it has few but some holes and 1 or 2 stray bbs:eek: the kicks does not it has no holes no strays both mod
-
Obviously you know everything, post some pics of patterns comparing your stock chokes and the best in the world kick's highflyer and maybe I will believe you.
well actually u r the one who know's everything according to you:rolleyes:. and I will just I have to wait till the trap club puts the pattern board out. and let me ask you this how much duck hunting do you do? obviusly alot right? you sound like you must have a ton of experience
-
I am looking for a left handed recoil pad for the Vinci but can only find the ones meant for the other models. Will these work? Will they be releasing recoil pads that match the Vinci?
why do you want a recoil pad for the vinci?, mine has no kick
-
It will work for everyone but it would work better if it wasn't ported.
nah ported chokes work nicer for steel same as full blown trapshooters port there barrel it works better not neccasarly recoil or muzzle jumy in the chokes but pattern wise
-
well I bought it with graduation money from my grandparents becouse I knew it was the best waterfowl choke out there:cool: and why do you think on the box of black cloud were its got the pattern board they used a kicks highflyer? and I do gather alot more information than you think from websites to the field and figuring out what workes best and what doesent stays at home:)What ever mod choke IC choke it is the same choke with lead and steel not an IC with lead and mod w/ steel. It just patterns different. I was making a joke and new what you meant. Did you know that the monty and the M2 are almost the same? Maybe he meant the finish isn't good for hunting. The monty is perfectly good what kind of idiot would say that the monty isn't any good? Duck hunting may be your life but you only have 14 years of life and probably 7 seasons of duck hunting. You can only gather so much info from forums and tv it will take you longer to develop a true experienced opinion. If you really did your research on the perfect choke you would find out it isn't ported because the porting distorts the pattern especially with flite control wads used in black cloud. You would also know that porting doesn't reduce muzzle jump, and doesn't reduce felt recoil. Why did you get a ported choke? Your vinci has no recoil and no muzzle jump right? Even though it relies on recoil to cycle. -
Don't get the ported, a waste of choke tube and money, they pattern worse, and don't reduce muzzle jump or felt recoil.
huh thats funnyI wonder why it works for me?
-
well that sucks for some people. I guess if it works for me it must not work for anyone else haha.
-
actually you are wrong on both kicks high flyer is a steel choke so it is a mod pattern steel, and no duck commander says that the benelli montefeltro is no good so he doesent just say that, and he says those new decoys he got sponsored buy still dont look right and tells people dont buy em. duck hunting is like my life so i kinda know this stuff. and actually my dad told me after i ordered the kicks that those r the ones duck commander usesactually a mod choke with lead is a mod choke and a mod choke with steel is still a mod choke
It just patterns like a full.the duck commander uses it I have to have it
The duck commander also uses benelli, because he gets paid by benelli, he also uses black cloud because he is paid by federal, maybe he uses that choke because he is paid by that company ........ Naw!
-
I also went to a duck calling seminar and they used acrylics but i still think wood sounds the best just more authentic to me. i like old time stuff
-
I just bought a box of blackcloud for a goose hunt in sept because the others were sold out. My question is i read that it does not work well with ported barrels or ported chokes. Can i use these shells with my Supersport and stock chokes?
Thanks
well i have a kicks highflyer and its ported all the way around and phil robertson uses the same one and he shoots black cloud so its gotta be ok
-
I'm looking for an improvement in pattern even-ness with the high speed steel loads. I've pattened my new Supernova, and discoved that the low speed ammo is really nice but the high speed shells get patchy. I'm hoping to find improvements in the pattens with #3 at +1500fps for ducks and larger shot sizes at +1500 fps for geese.
I would like hear from anyone with a good recommendation.
Thanks,
Scott
I bought a kicks highflyer and i really like it, i havent shot waterfowl with it yet but i got it in mod because i decoy my ducks and with lead its an imp cylinder so, perfect for dove and it made the cleanest kills and ide still get cripples with my crios but when I patternd my crios they had no holes so benelli crios are a darn good choke if you ask me. but the main reason I got the kicks was becouse duck commander uses them and i figured its gotta be good or he would say somthing about it. so definetly check out the kicks they have a new one called vortex i think its probably great too.
-
now i am having the same issue with shooting high and to the left but i want to pattern it again to be sure and this was with the full or mod benelli choke so ill find out tonight the guy watching thought i moved but i dont know if not i hope i dont need to send it to benelli Italy is a long ways away to send a gun:confused:, but i started dove hunting today and that is a load of fun nothing beats duck hunting for me but this was fun to catch those things i ended up with three not a whole lotta brds but quite a few and i had perfect clean kills with my kicks high flyer mod choke that thing works perfect but im worried its the barrel shooting to the left
-
I like my gun where it shoots high so I can see the bird when I shoot it. I would set it where the you put the bead touching the bottom of the bird, not where you have to cover the bird with the bead.
that's one of my favorite parts about my benelli is that it shoots allitle high so i can see the bead and target or bird rather than covering with the barrel with my 870
-
well no one posted but i ordered it and i got it and the sound is great beats the heck out of my plastic morwhistle, it sounds completely identical to my antique wood morwhistle my grandpa gave me but this one just has alot more different calls its really nice defenetly worth the money i love mine its goin on my lanyard for sure. im sure the wood one sounds just as good as the buffalo horn that i got its probably just fancier.
What is the best? SBE II or Vinci?
in Benelli
