Extended Chokes for a Vinci

[colejacobs]

Hi Everyone,

New here. I have been shopping for either a 12 gauge Cordoba or Vinci. I am pretty sure I have settled on the Vinci. Would extended chokes make much of a difference to the Vinci? What if I were to port the barrel? I am just curious if one or both of the options would improve the Vinci even further. I will be using the gun for Pheasants and Sporting Clays. I know the Cordoba is a great crossover gun but I was able to shoot the Vinci and am very impressed and comfortable with it.

Thanks.

Don't think it's been out long enough to see a whole lot of hunting action and to be tricked out.The cordoba has the ported option and it's been proven. The vinci all I can say is from reviews I have read, have shouldered a few but have not shoot due to it being right handed and is pretty much the same as the M2. Try any aftermarket tubes that may fit it if they make'em and let us know.A good choice for you would be the supersport or SSII it has all the tricks.But buy what u feel comfortable with and can afford and welcome to the world of Benelli.

Thanks for the response, TANK. I can afford the Cordoba or SS, but I like what I have experienced with the Vinci. I like the way it swings and it just feels good. As I am thinking about this I am probably not wanting to port the barrel right away. Maybe a a Crio extended ported choke will be a good experiment. Not sure yet...

The Cordoba was designed for high volume shooting, right? It is sold as having reduced muzzle rize, felt recoil, etc. The Vinci was torture tested in Cordoba, Argentina and supposedly performed really well. I'm wondering what the difference is between the two 28" versions besides the ported barrel and extended chokes of the Cordoba? The Vinci is the "softest kicking 12 gauge ever."

And thanks for the welcome!

Briley will angle port any barrel and they do the best job I have seen. If you can get chokes for a cordoba, M2, SBE you can get chokes for a Vinci. You won't be able to get mag extensions or stocks or any of that good stuff yet, give it a year and you will. It sounds like you need the Cordoba, it is an excellent gun. I have shot the Cordoba and the Vinci and I would most defiantly take the Cordoba. I have heard people say it has "no kick" but that is not true. I know from experience that it has more kick than a gas gun, and how would it cycle if it didn't kick? The action relies on the recoil to cycle it. Over time you will get used to the kick of any gun you shoot regularly and you won't feel it.

Ain't the Vinci cool? I agree, I love how it fits and feels.

Given that the Vinci has the same old underbored Benelli barrel, I would think that extended chokes might produce better patterns due to the longer parallel sections of the extended choke tube.

I like the Primos Dead Zone chokes. I also like chokes from Carlsons. Maybe buy a few for different shooting conditions; LM, M, IC, etc.

Plus the extended chokes are easier to remove by hand.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do

Cole the difference between the two would be the in line inertia driven system,the way it breaks down and on the Cordoba you have a see thru fore-end.I'm not sure of the diff. between the in line and regular driven systems and if it has any benefits other than marketing hype.

There is a benefit to the In line ID system, the only real advantage the vinci has over the M2 or Cordoba is the new In line system. The spring is in the receiver behind the bolt so it is easy to take out and clean. The old ID system however, you have to take apart the recoil tube which is a lot of work if you have ever done it. You only need to take it apart maybe once a year though.

Kinda like the stoger m2000?

Ok, so what are the advantages of the Cordoba over the Vinci besides extended chokes and a ported barrel? The Vinci has the In line system and ComforTech Plus (if that's an advantage), and is lighter. Just trying to cover all my bases here.

Thanks, guys.

I just got a carlson blackcloud mid range choke for my vinci and i got to shoot it today. It worked great and when i patterned it along side of my regular mod choke...it seemed to throw a better more uniform patter...plus a busted a ton of clays with it. I really like it and i love the gun as well. good luck
