Did you get one and if so i do you like it?
-
Agreed! Why in the wide, wide, world of sports would anyone buy a fine hunting shotgun like a SBE and then want to use 7/8oz loads in it? IMO, 12ga 7/8oz loads are for O/U guns and have no use whatsoever in the field.
-
I love my 20ga cordoba. The finest shotgun ever built for Texas dove hunting......hands down!
-
This writer named the 20ga M2 autoloader of the year: http://www.randywakeman.com/2010_Shotgun_and_Wingshooting_%20Awards.htm

I'm glad it's working for you now. I love my cordoba. I can't wait until September 1st!
-
I highly recommend the Vinci. I have only one year of shooting experience with mine but it has performed flawlessly with a wide range of shells. The new ComforTech Plus recoil system really performs well with the heavier 3in duck loads. I can't wait for the Fall hunting seasons to begin.
-
I would buy it!!! Great deal.
-
Agreed! Give the Win AA Xtra-Lite 1oz, 1180 FPS shells a try at the skeet course. These shells cycle fine in my Vinci. Feels like shooting a BB gun.
-
My Vinci did not require break-in. I starting shooting light dove loads right out of the box with no problems whatsoever.
-
I shot some Win AA Xtra-Lite Target Load, 2-3/4", #9 Lead Shot, 1 oz @ 1180 fps in my Vinci yesterday evening. The Vinci ate them up like candy.
-
I tend to agree. Besides, Benelli clearly states on their website to use at least 3 dram, 1oz loads in the Vinci. That's certainly light enough for me. If I want something lighter, I'll use my 20ga.
-
My Vinci cycles 2 3/4" shells just fine. Just use 1oz, 3 dram or heavier shells and you'll be fine. Mine did not need a break-in. It worked fine with dove loads right out of the box.
-
The Precision Hunter extended chokes made by Trulock are excellent chokes. The light modified (they call it Skeet 2) is great for doves and they also make a special turkey choke.
-
The chokes that come with the Vinci work great! Take them to the pattering board and you'll see what I mean.
-
I don't have any old benellis but sure love my new ones!!!
-
Except for the Vinci which says: "Ammunition: 12-gauge — 2-3/4" target loads (3 dram, 1 oz.) to 3" Magnums" My 20ga cordoba will cycle 7/8oz standard 1200 FPS target loads all day long (feels like shooting a BB gun). My 12ga Vinci will cycle 1oz 3dram 1200 FPS target loads all day long too. I can't imagine shooting anything any lighter since the felt recoil is so minimal with these light target loads.
-
Which make extended skeet tube do you use for your Vinci?
-
I agree. I have a 28ga 870 wingmaster from the 70s with a fixed choke skeet barrel. I love dove hunting with that gun. So smooth!!
-
The ComforTech pad on my 20ga Cordoba is doing the same thing. I didn't know the replacements were $125!!
-
I like the B&P F2 Mach 1 oz #8 loads for doves with an IC or LM choke. These loads work great in my Vinci.
-
The factory IC choke works great with dove loads too. My favorite is the AA supersport, #7.5 shot. These loads wil knock down doves as far out as I dare shoot.
-
I have had great success with the factory IC choke that came with my Vinci. It shoots a beautiful pattern with 3" hevi-metal steel #3 shot.
-
Now's a good time to buy. That way you'll have plenty of time to practice before Sept. 1st!
-
Get a Vinci, screw in the IM choke, get some #6 hevi shot and you're good to go for turkey!
-
Well, have you decided which one to buy?
