skee0025 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I am thinking of picking one up but at $1200 a piece I'd like to hear from people that have some experience with them. Thoughts, rumors or actual experiences anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Not sure how many people will have experience with them, as I don't think they have been around that long. Could be wrong.....looks slick though! Love the Benneli's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonie Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Ugly gun! Handles nice and is very easy to assemble and disassemble. Sold the only one we had and haven't heard a report from him yet. I'm sure it will function well as I'm sure Benelli doesn't want to put out a flopper and tarnish their good name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRH1175 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I looked at one. They are Different but still a benelli! I am sure they will shoot atleast as good as the rest. I love my SBE. I am thinking of getting a pheasant gun in the near future and the vinci is on my list. Along with a few O&Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilinBob Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I got to take 4 shots with one this spring at a show, went 4/4 on pigeons, very smooth, felt quicker than an SBEII, about like my SX2, only lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombia21 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I dont know why you would buy a 3 in chamber for 1200 when you could buy a 3.5 inch chamber for 100 more in my opinion the sbe 2 camo is the best shotgun out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymondk Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Very simple 3 is alot ligher if you don't hunt geese no use for 3.5 i would guess about a pound or more which is alot if you carry it all day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelli_dude2002 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 just picked one up last wednesday and got to try out on a few roosters in S.D over the weekend. black with 26 inch barrel. I already have a Super Black Eagle so I dont need another 3.5 inch. Havent tried any target loads thru it but with hunting loads the recoil didnt seem any different. Still trying to get used to the safety in front of the trigger. $1150 is the price the dude told me but I traded off a Browning Silver and a 9mm. Cheapest I seen anywhere.

SmilinBob Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I finally had one in the shop to switch the safety to left hand. They are internally similar to other Benelli's except the spring has been moved. They (Benelli) are brilliantly simple, why didn't anyone think of that years ago guns. Still with I could justify one.
