You should be just fine....when you take a look at them keep in mind you can get replacement pads that will reduce trigger pull to as little as 13.5"...I'm pretty sure. Brownells, numrich, and midway are all great places to look for benelli parts. Numrich has the most factory stuff though.

If you like the Vinci, don't shy away because it's a 12 ga. The gun is very solid, has a more than manageable recoil , manageable weight and is well balanced, and you would be able to change out the standard recoil pad if you have a shorter length of pull as I did.($100-$125-isn't cheap) I also purchased mine on gunbroker.com for $1150 + s/h + local FFL/DROS charges. My neighbor is a small guy and has a bad shooting shoulder, but he loves my Vinci because it doesnt punish him.
Well, after all of this, I scrolled down and saw that you have opted for the SBEII. Congratulations. I'm sure you will want to put on a shorter recoil pad. You can go to Brownells website and I would suggest the 14" pad-R/H or L/H depending on which way you shoot.
I bought a SBEII, The OP still seems to be undecided. Hattles has a good point. These Benellis all have great recoil reducing abilities. Find which one fits you best, and go with it, you wont be dissapointed if you go with a 12ga. Ive shot through over 700 shells in one afternoon shooting clays and I didnt have a single bruise or sore muscle the next day. When I used to do that with the old Ithaca, I was feeling every shot the next day.

HOW BIG AM I?!!!
I'm 5'5" and 135 pounds.
I have shot mostly handguns - S & W J-frame, K-frame most recently. The only shotgun experience I've had was off the aft of a Princess cruise ship in 1989! LOL! NO idea what that was, don't remember it having any kick to it, managed to bring home the trophy for Women's Skeet shooting though. (Not much competition I might say....)
What attracts me to the Vinci is all the great tech for limiting recoil, and I like the looks of the gun. That's important, right?!
ETA: thanks for the welcome
Exactly....

Hi, nice to meetch'all, have a question....
I'm new to shotguns (although not to shooting), I'm a GIRL
and wonder if anyone has any info as to when/if the Vinci is gonna come in a 20 gauge?I really want this gun (I think) because all the ComforTech Plus technology looks great but not sure if I can handle a 12 ga. and haven't any friends who shoot so I can try one.
Main purpose, sporting clays now and possibly upland birds at some point.
THANKS!
Welcome to the forum!
How big are you? What have you shot previously? Ive had girlfriends go shooting with me as small as 5'2, 110lbs shoot my 12 ga with no problems other than the LOP being a bit to much.
What is it that draws you to the vinci? Why not a cordoba, or a M2? Those two are already offered in a 20ga model if you decide thats what you want.

Im sure it COULD cause rust, if you let it. oh well, Im happy with mine. It works great for hunting W. Oregon as I dont have anything to keep track of other than whats on my gun. I dont like having to keep track of a monopod or a separate tr****.
-
I figured it had to be something like that. lol. You can get a barrel mount for the harris b****s. I would think that should work even for the R1. Im not going to bother with the link sorry
-
GAH! I dont know why it wont work. just do a Google search.
-
Thats wierd, it wont give the correct link. its www. harrisb****s .com
-
How did you attach that Harris?
They attach to the sling swivel stud. Super easy, takes about 30 seconds to take on or off and its solid as a rock.
OOPS, Forgot the R1 sling stud isnt in the normal position. Theres an adapter you can get from Harris that will allow you to mount it to any gun.

Haha my first shotgun was a pg mossberg 500 w/ an 20" barrel. My friends laughed too until I started bustin clays wth it from the hip! I have no problem with trying something different...but a combat shotgun for quail is still funny.
-
I have the M4 and I do hunt quail with it... I love the short barrel and can make very quick doubles and an occasional 3rd bird. I have used my trusted O/U for years but gave it up for the M4 and have not looked back.
I know there are the diehards that say you need a looooong barrel for hunting, but for me I like the M4.
If I showed up bird hunting with an M4, I would be laughed outta the state.
-
Between these three you can pretty much find just about any gun part out there.
-
Now now guys, calm down. I'm not saying that the stock trigger is junk. I have shot many shotguns and its actually one of my favorite stock triggers. BUT! I still would like it to have a lighter pull and a more crisp action. Preferably without having to ship it to somebody. I guess I will have to have a chat with the local gunsmith.
-
The function of the inertia system is similar except the Vinci's system is a straight back recoil(no spring or movement in the stock) as opposed to the recoil back and down(into the spring in the stock) on the M2. I find the Vinci to have a very differant feel, a more solid sound from the action. This might be the result of the "straight Back" action which is quieter than the M2 or SBE.
I learn something new everyday!

Why do you want to "improve" your trigger? Is it to hard to pull?
Its not "hard to pull". I am more than capable of pulling the trigger when the time comes to do so. Its merely a personal preference. I have become accustomed to a light, crisp trigger pull, and I would like one on my benelli as well.
-
I have done a few searches and have yet to find a satisfactory answer. I have a SBEII and I would like to improve the trigger. From what I have read it seems like I would have to send my trigger/gun to somebody. Is there a kit I can buy to have a local gunsmith install? Has anybody here modified there trigger? what kind and are you happy with it?
-
I'm not looking for a tactical shotgun...I'm looking at the M2 or the vinci for hunting purposes.
I apologize that was off topic. I was responding to Skeeters response.
As for the two guns for hunting purposes....Have you ever fired either of them? As far as I know the inertia system that they run on is identical. They should both fire the same rounds, so IMO the only real factor for you to decide would be which one feels best. If you can, shoot both of em.
-
neither!! get the M4!!
Was down at the local gun store Handling the M2 Tactical and the M4 for the first time....Now I want an M4 Damn't!

Hmm....I may need to pick up that and that rounded bolt handle this week.

Dang that sucks...Guess you shoulda bought a SBEII...lol jk. I wasnt referring specifically to the vinci. Just pointing out that thats the shortest I have seen. Good to know though that there not out yet for the vinci. Since stock LOP is 14 3/8 Its a good idea to know just how much shorter you can make it. Dont wanna go in there thinking you can bring it down farther than is possible. THen you just have a really expensive gun that doesnt fit well, and you probaby wont be happy with it at that point.
