I'm wondering why the regular Vinci Doesn't come in a 20 Ga model. If you want a Vinci 20 Ga you have to get the Vinci super sport or the Cordoba. Anyone know why?

I guess some guns like light loads and some don't. I have a Vinci and it will shoot anything.

I have had my Vinci since Feb and I haven't noticed any issues with it at all. Honestly I really love my Vinci. Great Gun!

Sorry Kevin Missed your post .. They replaced the cartridge drop lever.

Benelli got the gun fixed it and had it back in about a week. So total about a week and a half from the time I sent it to them. Put 300 rounds through it and works like a champ.. Great Customer Service. Thanks Benelli!!

TOOK THE GUN OUT TODAY ... WORKED LIKE A CHAMP ... I have to say Benelli customer service was top notch.. had the gun back to me in about a week.

Your correct that it is not really a cycling issue, but more of an issue of the bolt not locking back. I went out this week and shot some hunting loads through it and it still is doing the same thing. I called Benelli and they opened an RA for me. They are going to take a look at it. I was impressed with the customer service guy, he was real decent to work with. I still love the gun and once it gets sorted out I'll be happier than a pig in muck.. Thanks for the input y'all.

So i got some handicap loads that shoot at 1330 fps and still the same .. cycles the round, but on the last shell the breech will not lock back into place. When I bought the gun the first 400 rounds it worked fine. I've now got almost 1000 in it so it should be good and broke in. I guess I'll have to send it in to get fixed... thanks for the help.

I'll try a little hotter load and see if that makes a difference.

I tried different ammo and the rounds i was shooting last week were 1-1/8 loads 1200fps 7 1/2. Again it cycled fine just the bolt didn't lock back after last spent round. it has worked like a dream with these same loads up till now. That's why it is confusing me a bit.

So I got a new Vinci a month ago and LOVE the gun. I have been using is for trap and skeet mainly and it really fits me well. I am pretty anal about keeping my guns clean and clean it almost every time i shoot. I have put about 500 rounds through it (7-1/2 shot) and this week it stopped locking open after the last spent shell. It will cycle doubles fine and ejects perfectly but it will not lock open after last shell. I striped it down and cleaned the piss out of it, but it still has the same issue. Thoughts?
