This is my first “nice” semi auto. I’ve had cheaper stuff that was junk but this Super Vinci has cycled cheap stuff and killed some coyotes already. It seems like this brand has some baggage with it. Flat billed caps, squated trucks, gun barrel stickers and vapers. Was the Vinci line of guns developed for any particular reason? I’m pretty sure the SBE 2 had some quirks but wasn’t it the standard? What’s your thoughts about the Vinci line?

I dont know anything about the Vinci line, but I love my Benelli shotguns. I have 5 of them. I have a SBE, an M2 and 3 Legacy models (12, 20 and 28).

I have a super vinci in the OD green. I love it. It took me some getting used to switching from an 11-87 but I like it.

Thanks guys. This ones Max 4 camo. I’ve got a nova tactical with the ghost ring sights too and it’s good for what it is. Killed a couple briar goats with it.

Have had a Nova and SBE2. Currently have a M2 12ga and Montefeltro 20ga. Not a bad thing to say about any of them.

Yep, have a matching pair of camo m1 in 20 and 12. Been using the 20 mostly the past few years so I dont have to reach for different shells when hunting with my boys.

Like'em and shoot'em more than my others. No Vinci, rib too low for me and wasn't crazy about the design. Aquaintance of mine shoots one with no issues and likes it.

Sold my original SBE and now shoot the SBE3. Very pleased with it. No experience with the Vinci.

I just never warmed up to them. I see quite a few tho with other duck/goose hunters. My snow goose guide had one and liked it fine. I suspect he shoots it quite a bit.

I guess it is a gun fit thing for me, the SBE beat the crap out me.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

LOL
Hunting here in the desert is easy on blue steel and walnut. It still looks like it did the day I bought it off GB 7 years ago; got it at a good price, too.
I think Benellis are great guns. They're light and reliable. What's not to like?

Buddy just bought a Vinci, but hasn't shot it yet. Looks like and he got it for under $800.

I have 2 sbe II. Just ordered a M2 20 gauge. I think they are the finest semi auto ever. I own a beretta extrema, a browning a5 and a Remington 1187 and 1100.

Won a SBE at a DU banquet...it's adequate, so i continue to use it. I do daydream about moving up to an SP-10 or a Gold...
