Well, I pulled the trigger (pun intended) and bought a Benelli Vinci. Took it out this afternoon pheasant hunting. Didn't shoot at a bird, but decided to waste some shells and fired a single shot, and then emptied the remaining 3 shells. Wow! What a step up from the old 870! Very excited to take it to shot trap.

Did you get the super Vinci(3 1/2" shell option) or the original 3" shell? I've been looking at buying the Vinci

I got the original. I have a 3 1/2 inch gun if I need it, but with the newer ammo out there, in my opinion, you don't really even need a 3 1/2 anymore. Planning on going to shoot some trap on Wednesday. I'll have a better idea of how the gun shoots then!!!

yep shoot as many clays as you can itll help you get used to it, especially that safety !

Funny you say that. Had a hen get up yesterday out pheasant hunting. Thank God it was a hen, because I fumbled with that safety until it was out of sight.

Put about 200 rounds through the new Vinci today. I really liked the way it felt. I did experience a little of the "cheek slap" that some people have talked about, but nothing more than I felt shooting my 870...so I'll chalk that up to user error, not the gun. Cycled through the shells really well. Now that I've got it dialed in, can't wait to try drop some real birds!

Yep. I made sure to have the safety on prior to saying "pull" so that I'd have to get used to finding it and shooting. I think I got it down now. Pretty happy with it so far.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
