[Vinci extended magazine]

I'll give you the answer to your question, I'm from N.Y.

C.O. (conservation order) it is during the return spring migration of snow geese,after the regular season.

Some states can use unplugged guns and electronic calls during this season.They are trying to reduce the #s of snow geese.

I agrre,for the price of the gun,they shouldn't move and rub.

Mine does too though! So does my brothers.

[thinking about super vinci]

I sure hope they don't do away with the other models, the M2 or the SBEII. I would not buy a vinci. I choose the M2 as my choice, I have no use for a 3 1/2" gun. Call me set in my ways or old fashioned.

I use what works, feels a performs best for me.

There should be a plastic piece with two **** sticking out of it that goes between the stock and receiver along with a plastic shim for your fit! There should be a piece flat steel that goes in the stock that is reversible to give you left or right cast! Then your washer and nut. You should easily find a diagram on this sight if you do a search.

Good luck!

[Vinci's Reliabiltiy]

I agree with the above statement. This spring when I purchased a new waterfowling gun I pondered the same question, Vinci or M2. The price is comparable and not a single forum had horrible things to say about either auto loader. My only hesitation between the two was the lack of exposure the Vinci has. It's a fairly new gun to the market and though the reviews have been great - I feel more comfortable purchasing a gun with a great reputation over the years. Just my opinion. I love my M2 by the way! Best of luck

You hit that one right on the mark!

After checking on alot of guns reliability issues.

We bought a couple of M2s,they have a great track record.

They work flawless so far.

If you don't have a need for anything more than a 3" gun,the M2 shines!

You are asking a question that really can not be answered for a few years.Check back in 2030 or so!

[Vinci's or M2]

I can't say which is the better gun between the two, that is personal preference. I chose the M2 because it has already stood the test of time in the dove fields of Argentina,where thousands of rounds are put through them everyday.

Very light loads that perform great. I have no need to shoot 3 1/2" shells, I would rather have no problems on the 2 3/4" end. I shoot alot of waterfowl.3" only. Backpeddling over the decoys. Even 3" can be overkill, Nothing makes up for shooting abilities! I think the return spring inline with the bolt only catches more junk, it performs well because it is easier to maintain there, where alot of people ignore tearing the stock off for to long. Laying in a layout blind in a dust blowing cornfield, I like the return spring tucked away in the stock.

My son shoots an M2000,has for 3 years. Shoots BBs 90% of the time when we're goose hunting. A couple hundred rounds a year(of BBs), his comes out like butter. Myself and another shoot M2s ,no problems anywhere, mostly BBs!
