I own both the SBE ll and the Vinci. Both are great guns. Neither will let you down. The SBE ll has the 3.5" capabilities that the Vinci doesn't. I don't know if that will be a factor in your decision. The more I shoot the Vinci, the better I like it. Again, both are great guns and I would not get rid of either. I believe that the chokes are the same in the two guns, both are crio. If I had to pick just one, I would probably go with the SBE ll because of the 3.5". Other than that it would be a push. Your preference. Good luck....

thanks, no 3 1/2 is not a factor to me... do you notice a difference in speed of shell cycling? do you think the trigger in the vinci feels better? how do you think recoil compares? thanks again

Would get the Vinci. And I won't use anything more than 3" regardless of which gun (bad shoulder). But having actually messed with the Vinci a bit, I find that the claims for between-the-hands balance and "natural" pointing are true, at least for me. It will replace my left-handed M1 Super 90 as soon as they release a left-hand version.

They both will cycle faster than you can pull the trigger. The trigger may be a tad better on the Vinci, but it is hard to tell. It is not like shooting a rifle. When you are on target you just pull, you don't really squeeze. At least I don't. I did not put a trigger pull gauge on it, so I really don't if the poundage is different. As far as recoil goes, the Vinci does have felt recoil. There has been a lot said about little or no recoil on the Vinci. But when you have a gun that weighs less than 7 lbs. and shoots a 12 ga. shell, there is recoil. Probably less than the SBE ll, but again I don't have any numbers on it. I have put a case of shells through it on a weekend (trap loads) with no real effects on my shoulder. The Vinci is a sweet shooting gun. If you like the way it pulls up, go for it. You will not be sorry. You can always buy the SBE ll at a later date. These are two guns that need to be in your arsenal. Good luck with your decision, and let me know what you end up with. Mike
