Since mine is new I can't even hazard a guess. Let's hope the QC guys cycled it a few thousand times to test the design. By the way, from my observation, the much trumpeted "soft" recoil isn't all that soft. When I mentioned it to one of the Benelli reps, he said it will get softer over time. We'll see. I am sure of one thing though. If I shot this gun 4-5000 times during a 3-4 day dove hunt, as some of the reviewers did (and raved about the soft recoil) I'd have a very, very sore shoulder and face. I don't see any easy way to add weight, which would help, so will just deal with it. Allan

Prior to posting here, I had sent a question to Benelli. Their answer which came today was; "Drop one into the chamber - close the bolt - then feed the mag tube. That is the way it should be loaded." Just like every other auto I've had. What I get for reading the book! Going to the gun club now to shoot the beast. Thanks for the help, Allan

Got it!! Thanks. Seems strange that the manual provides instructions that won't work. AH

I don't have a silver lever on the trigger assembly????

Got my new Vinci today, and after 30 years of shooting just about every kind of gun made, I cannot figure out how to load the thing (according to the book anyway). Book says to load the magazine first which, as far as I can see, must be done with the bolt closed. But, after loading the magazine, when I open the bolt to put a shell into the barrel, it releases the shell in the magazine. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
