Clayman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 At the skeet range today I fed 4 boxes of shells through my Vinci and my shoulder isn’t sore one bit. This gun does a whole lot of things right! Recoil is well mannered and controlled as advertized. I’m also a huge fan of the trigger group ergonomics on this shotgun. Moreover, the C shim has really improved the drop for me. Interestingly, I also received a few compliments on the looks of the gun today. Of course, one must remember all the negative comments about the Vinci’s looks come from people who have never actually seen one, held one or fired it – Go figure. I’ve gone through well over a couple dozen boxes of shells now and haven’t had any problems whatsoever. The Vinci is a constant performer handling everything I’ve thrown at it. The more I shoot this gun the better I love it .This feeling seems to be universal from everything I have read. The more people use this gun the more they love it.

Clayman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 When I first saw a picture of the Vinci, I just thought it looked different. That said, I’ve since warmed up to the looks. But I’m the kind of guy that’s more focused on performance than looks. I must admit I was really surprised by all the crying over the looks of the Vinci! I never knew there were so many fashion divas out there shooting shotguns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBenelli Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 VINCIshooter- why do I doubt that you have a Vinci? You sound way to young (just by the way your talking on here) to be able to afford a Vinci. Personally I dont use the sights for waterfowl and skeet.

Novaking Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have a easy hit on my SPR O/U. I have trouble keeping my head down because the gun doesn't fit me right. It does help if you have that problem but if the gun fits you like my Novas fit me. You will gain nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBenelli Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Good deal. Congrats on the graduation. Thats a very nice gun, I just picked up an SBE2 and an M2 field 20ga. My next major purchase will definitely be a Vinci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapshooter1 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) I have a champion easy hit sight in red on my super nova and in daylight it is like a lazer. It is so bright if you raise your head off the stock you can see a reflection of it on a camo rib. It helped me it keeps my eye on the skeet and it sits about exactly the same as the stock bead so I doubt it could mess you up unless you are looking for an excuse. __________________ a-s-sume makes an a-s-s out of u and me Edited June 13, 2009 by Trapshooter1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
