scooot3 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I see the mod must of dumped the leaked pictures of the new Fugly Vinci. Can't believe I waited this long for that! Quote
scooot3 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 When is the lefty version coming out? Quote
huklbrry Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Has everyone changed their underwear and wiped off their keyboards now? Quote
onebarrelonedog Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Lol - I was looking for the thread with the pics and then it was no more.... Personally, I think it's great. I'd love to get my hands on one. Apparently they're already available for sale, so I'm off to find one somewhere on the good ol' web. Quote
Matt D Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 With only 7-10% of the population being lefties, don't hold your breath. At the SHOT Show I talked with a Benelli marketing rep and asked about a lefty 20 ga. He siad very highly unlikely. Less than 10% of their guns sales are 20 ga and the number would be reduced to a population of 7-10%. Quote
agm65ccip Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I dont think it looks that bad, but it looks to me like the "In line ID" has more parts than the origional...so I cant say it seems like the uber leap forward that was proclaimed. Plus it doesnt look like it would be really easy to pop a magazine extension on it...I love my M2 Quote
mallard chaser Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Looking at the picture doesnt do much for me. But i would like to shoot one. Quote
tucker301 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 No 3.5" No Left Hand Might as well be a M2000 Quote
DumbDuck Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Too bad they didn't take the money they saved by not having to machine a receiver and bring the gun out at the same price as an I-12 or better still a M2000. Guess they had to pay for the video. Still looks interesting and I'd love to shoot one. I just don't see myself laying out darn near 1400 bucks for one. DumbDuck Quote
mudhen Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I like it in camo I will own one - maybe soon - we'll see - I will shoot one this summer and decide then! Quote
DennisB Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 No 3.5" No Left Hand Might as well be a M2000 Its not even left hand friendly with the safety in front of the trigger. Im happy i bought an SBEII Quote
jtk47 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 has anyone heard of a ship date. i have called all around looking for one Quote
gardensstone Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I am new to this...but why is there not a rifled slug barrel option on this??? Quote
MontefeltroPro Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I like it in camo I will own one - maybe soon - we'll see - I will shoot one this summer and decide then! No. Face it, Mudhen: You need it NOW! ...(or at least before anyone else gets it!) Quote
tucker301 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 WHEW!!!! that Vinci is way cool,,,,, You'll need to wait for the special one-off museum edition. Quote
Webfoot Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Me too. I like my SBE II, a lot!! Must say I am a little disappointed... I think it will flop... Quote
JimmyC Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) I was holding off buying a SBE II until the Vinci came out. I was thinking it was supposed to be the next great SBE II but it seems far from it. I'm sure they will come out with the new barrels and slug versions but I'm sure they will be more expensive since the receiver is integrated. I hope they come out with the 3 1/2 inch version as well as 24 inch barrel options. Don't know how it compares to the SBE II in recoil but I can't imagine it being that much better. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the SBE II instead. If the Vinci is that much better maybe I'll get one later but it's too early to put all my eggs in the Vinci basket. Right now the SBE II still seems much superior for all around hunting. Edited April 1, 2009 by JimmyC Quote
WVBenelli Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 The Vinci just made my M2 go up in value. I'll second that. I'm not too impressed (at least right now), especially with all the hype they were giving the Vinci. Couldn't imagine it would be "THAT" much better than the M2 or SBE that already incorporates all those features (minus the inline-inertia ) Quote
