goose2 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 As of today there are 8 more days to the big unveiling of the Vincie. After that we will know what it is and after we know what it is it will take another year to get one. Quote

Duggan Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Funny, I have no anxiety at all over this release. I forgot it was even coming out. I guess I'm not the target audience. Quote

tucker301 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I heard that they were going to open the case, but there will be another clue inside, instead of the new model. Quote
mudhen Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 A few more days... The reps are heading to Benellli for the big Vinci meeting as we speak. No doubt, it will probably be yet another huge success for Benelli Can't imagine why anyone would hate a gun that technically doesn't exist yet, but that's just the way some folks are I guess Quote
Lawndart Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I hope it's a single barrel....that sells for $150. Quote

I'm sure it will be a great gun. Quote
SgtCathy Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I'm not buying any shotgun named "Vinci". Way to sissy even for me. I'm not going into the field and have one of my hunting friends ask what I'm carrying and to answer him, I would have to flutter my wrist, dance around on tip toes and say in my highest voice, It's a "Vinci". Benelli is the worst company when it comes to naming different models of shotguns. Maybe in Italian "Vinci" sounds nice, but it's not for me. And besides, unless it comes with a straight English stock, weighs under 5 pounds and fires .410 shells, I'm not interested. Quote

And besides, unless it comes with a straight English stock, weighs under 5 pounds and fires .410 shells, I'm not interested. That seemed to stand out to me. Vinci is a town and commune of Firenze province in the Italian region of Tuscany. The birthplace of Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci lies just outside the town. That's why I've been teasing about it being an O/U, simply because it just sounds too... I don't know, what's the word... elegant? to be a semi-auto. Da Vinci was a painter, not a brawler... . Quote
oldboots Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I don't know if I will want a Vinci or not. However, I am secure enough in my masculinity that I would carry any shotgun, even if it were called … oh, I don't know … "Citori" or something like that. Quote
SgtCathy Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Hey !! I only own one Citori and I call it my Quail gun. A Browning Special Field in 20 guage. I feel the need to take pokes at "Vinci" while I can because like most Benelli products, the name might sound silly but they work better than any other sgotgun I've owned or still own and that's straight out of the box. I've owned a H+K Benelli M1 S90 in Defense Configuration since 1986, and during my LE career that shotgun has been nothing short of a star performer. I'm guessing Benelli's newest shotgun ( I forget the name but it begins with V ) will also be a great performer. If they could just do better with the names.... Quote
tucker301 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I think they used the name Vinci, because of the genius in the drawing posted above. Leonardo da Vinci drew the "Automated Firearm Ignition" concept in the late 1400's to early 1500's. Mad respect for someone who was that far ahead of his time. Quote
Admin Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'm not buying any shotgun named "Vinci". Way to sissy even for me. If you pronounce it correctly (vinn-chee), it just sounds Italian. Today is the official unveiling. Keep your eyes peeled around Noon Eastern! Quote
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Why not call it the "Mercury" like, as in Freddie Mercury? That way it could be both ELEGANT(make-up,long nails,spandex) and TOUGH(leather pants,cop sunglasses,and suspenders). Either way you sliced it, he was straight up awesome! This gun would then have something for everybody:D Quote
