Just got the June issue of American Rifleman and on the cover of Benlli's new semi auto the, "Vinchi" after Leonardo Da Vinchi. Now, some of you boys pick on semi-autos and pumps unfairly, but you can have at this one full bore! It makes your eyes burn. Looks like someone at Standard Plumbing put it together on his lunch break. http://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/benelli_vinci.php

I wouldn't mind one of those Vinchi guns to go with my Guchi handbag. I'm gonna go order a peetza now.

Hope it works better than what was normal for my Father's Super Black Eagle. I inherited that thing, however, I don't know what to do with it, since, it is mostly a very expensive single shot with anything other than full house loads.
Maybe someday I'll need to kill a goose or turkey from a wheelchair.
Best,
Ted

I have two SBE's and they have been just perfect, unlike my old Browning Gold which is now gone. I don't want or need a Vinci. It is ugly, but not as ugly as the Browning Cynergy, and it will probably sell like hotcakes.

Fugly. I put my hands on one today. Seems strange to put full trap style pistol grip on game gun? Space age fugly. Breaks down to stock, barrel and trigger group/mag tube in 10 seconds. Did I mention fugly? Did fit me perfectly...and felt good, grip through the wrist might be a bit thick though. B' guns attempt at Cynergy styles? Lots of plastic like the Nova but interesting. Rather have my doubles though, jOe.  Best, Mark

The MSRP on Ugly is getting higher all the time. $1,300 for some plastic and a steel pipe!!

News Flash: The market for this gun is perhaps upwards of 100 times greater than for a SxS.
Check the Benelli website for their usual excellent video and other marketing techniques.
My 20ga Cordoba is a masterwork of engineering - it shoots incredibly well. The old M-1 Super 90 is also an excellent shooter.
I enjoy all types of shotguns. Automatics are fun too... and Benelli's are some of the best. I look forward to trying out the Vinci.

Actually...anytime any company or organization feels the need to capitalize on the name and reputation of any one of the following people, I immediately look down on them and their product:
DaVinci
Einstein
Any black musician/genius that us white folks never even heard of
Woody Allen
MLK Jr.

Benelli makes a ton$ off each one.
They'll be around for a long time. Though their customer service sucks.
Non tox is making our doubles wallhangers.
Intense waterfowling destroys shotguns. Benelli is making tools that last a long time.
Early SBE's won't shoot lighter loads. And rusted like hell too.
SBEII adressed most of that.
Out there doing it best I can.
