Difference between SBEII and Super Vinci
Posted on 11/12/14 at 7:19 am

Thinking about going to pick one of these up today? I've shot a SBE before and liked it. What's the difference between it and the SV?

Once you try the vinci, you won't go back to the SBE. It's lighter, the recoil action is neglibable compared to the SBE. Just make sure it fits you well. The best gun in the world isn't the best for you if it doesn't fit you well.

Other than 3" vs 3 1/2" find out which fits you best and go by that.

The SBE shoulders better for me. The Vinci feels bulky like a beretta to me.

I'm going to shoulder them and see if I feel different towards one or the other. And I think the Super Vinci shoots 3 1/2" shells.
Just wondering, mechanically, if there is anything special about the SV? What was the point in making it? Why did they come out with a new gun?

It is super easy to take down (three pieces) and assemble (takes seconds). These were the selling points of the Vinci. The super Vinci gave it a 3.5 inch chamber which is the main gripe with it.

SBE for me. Shot both. Vinci was a little too bulky IMO. Wont go wtong with either.....
On a side note, ive got 2 buddies with really big fingers, the Vinci busted their fingers up. Might consider that.

If its mainly for Duck hunting don't buy either. Browning Maxus and the Berretta A400 Extrema are the tops. Every guide worth his salt will tell you this.

Don't really duck hunt. It's pretty much just a general purpose gun. Doves, Turkey, Squirrel, Rabbit and skeet.
I don't like the bulkiness of the Berettas.

Then save some money if its an all purpose gun then look into the Stoeger M3500 made by Benilli.
Very comparable to the Super Vinci SBE but $500 cheaper. Inertia driven as well just in forearm instead of stock.

Nope Nope Nope.
I had the Franchi I-12. It gave me problems and Benelli gave me my money back after not being able to fix it. I won't go cheaper and get the Stoeger. I'd just assume spend the money and minimize my chances of having any problems.

Do tell! I have both and only duck hunt, never had an issue with either. Posted on 11/12/14 at 9:14 am to DownSouthDave
Vinci and SV have the recoil mechanism inside the receiver (hence the humpback look). Makes the gun very easy to disassemble and clean.
SBE is the 'original' inertia action. The barrel and receiver are a single unit and the recoil spring is in the stock. More difficult to disassember.
I personally like the way the SBE fits over the SV. Also, from my experiences, the SBE seems to digest light loads more friendly than the SV, but not the regular Vinci.
So keep in mind, if you plan on shooting light clay loads, the SV may struggle.

Lul.
Both are great guns. I've shot a SBEII for 7 years. I don't really like the trigger guard on the SV, and like others, I feel like it's bulky. I've used my SBEII for a pirogue paddle, a push pole, and sunk it in marsh mud, ran a snake through the barrel and shot a duck. You can't go wrong with either.
Berettas have an obnoxious foregrip and that kickoff stuff is a recipe for disaster.

Been shooting my 28" Vinci for about 4-5 years now and love it. I've put a LOT of rounds both clean and dirty and the action on it is as smooth as butter. I've heard the gripe about the trigger guard, but I have skinny fingers so I've never encountered that problem. It's a breeze to clean even though I never do. Both are good guns, so just shoulder one and see how you like it.

If this is the case, then check out the "regular" Vinci and not the Super. After much research and fondling of shotguns, I bought a Vinci 3 years ago and love it. I dove hunt and shoot skeet/clays with it almost exclusively and have never had an issue with any ammo I feed it. The issue a lot of people have with them is the space behind the trigger guard. If you are used to holding the gun with your fingers tight against the back of the trigger guard, it can hurt your middle finger. I adjusted my hold on the gun and haven't had an issue since. It also takes down easy and is easy to clean.

Have a buddy in Arkansas who hunts literally at least 56 days of the 60 day season there and shoots at least 5 cases a year. The last 2 years he has hunted 60 days. It's a group of 8-10 guys. They have been through every gun and all shoot the SBEII. They hunt flooded timber.
I believe in real world testing...
On the gun, I bought the SBEII b/c it fit me better and I don't care fore the way the forearm feels on the Vinci. Feels a little bulky too.

I would just go on feel between those two. I have a super vinci and my only problem has been the trigger guard giving me a blister after a lot of shooting. I got a skin tight camo underarmour glove and hasn't given me any problems.
As previously mentioned light clay loads have problems cycling because of the inertia action but if you just get the ounce and an eigth shells you'll be fine with clay shot
