Thanks! I'm already plotting my next trip to the Sporting Clays - it's about an hour's drive from home so gotta plan ahead a bit - but man I had SO MUCH FUN! Even cleaning that purty shotgun yesterday was fun.

OK, I'm happy to report that I actually got to shoot my Vinci this weekend! Husband and I went to a sporting clays place, and took a lesson from a wonderful gal there, an hour well spent! I actually hit about 22 of 25 targets. That gun is SWEEEET! Husband shot his grandfather's LeFever side by side goose gun and had a great time too. So thanks to all who gave me advice and encouragement. I can't WAIT to go out with the Vinci again. T2

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet! Places to shoot shotguns around here are few and far between - but we just joined the local shooting sports club so should get an opportunity here in the near future. Thanks for asking! REALLLLLLLY looking forward to shooting it. In the meanwhile, we've had it apart and back together numerous times and I feel fairly confident in how to operate the thing so that's a plus!

But it's not PINK!!!!

I wouldn't know, I'm sure!

GODDESS PURPLE!!!!! I want it..............

LOL Hookster! I'm thinkin' I wouldn't be too enamored of that one.........

Uh, Imahafta pass on that one. I detest pink in ANY iteration! Now bright blue, I might consider.... LOL!

Yeah, too bad they don't make it in PINK!!

Hopefully next weekend - spent the day today figuring out how to take it apart and put it back together again, and the DH greased it up and cleaned up the shipping oily mess. Watched a lot of YouTubes on it too. Can't wait to try it out, it fits me perfectly "as is" with no adjustments. It's sure a thing of beauty, in its own way! i'd have loved to have had a wood stock but hey, I'm more interested in a soft recoil!

Thank you!!! Should've "RTFM" before asking that one but I appreciate your response!

OK, more confusion from the newest Vinci owner! Choke tubes - on the Benelli website, I see, A B C D E F --- Mine came with C,IC,M,IM,F - uh, so what are the IC, M, IM? Is there anyplace that tells me what each choke is used for?

LOL!! OK then! Now another question - since the included manual is somewhat lacking, can you steer me onto some good videos about the assembly/disassembly, cleaning, maintenance, or any other pertinent info on the Vinci? Thanks!

I'm sure you're right - but I'm a GIRL and heck, guns can be scary! I'm not skeert of my S & W J frame though, well not much - that little sucker DOES kick like a rented mule.

Come help me - I'm skeert! Our gunsmith has kindly offered to take the husband and me out to a private ranch for some skeet shooting, for a little lesson or two. THAT ought to de-skeer me.....
