Benelli Vinci Problems

[CMMN]

"Duck Hunting!!"

I have never edited so fast in my life!

I believe that is the problem as well...not letting the bold slam forward with some force to lock the BLH into place.

Thinking back to hunting in a laydown blind during the heat of the action...without looking would sometimes take my right hand index finger and thumb and pull the action open a bit and feel for a shell to be sure I reloaded.....then gently close the action.....that definitely causes my problems!

As far as the other issue of the third shell getting stuck in the action/carrier....I think the shooting four boxes will loosen things up. I look forward til then!

I believe we have the problem solved.. With the Benelli semi automatic shotguns, the bolt will stay open after the gun is empty. If you are laying in a blind, there is really no need to open the bolt to check for a shell. If the bolt is open, you are empty. If it is closed, you have at least 1 shell in the gun. I'm sure that a few more rounds through the gun will help the jamming problem. Good luck with the upcoming ''duck'' hunt. By the way, that was a great typo.

I bought a brand new benelli super Vinci 12 G at cabelas for 1499.00 plus tax. Beautiful case. Beautiful gun finish. The rep couldn't brag enough how the gun shot thousand of rounds in two days *in Argentina . Some kind of a video promo *they made. I took mine to the hills of Columbia , mo. Is not Argentina, but what the heck... I bought at Walmart 3 brands of ammo each for 22 bucks box of 100. Remington , Winchester , and federal. 2 3/4 inch regular clay target ammo. I shot fist box it jam 12 times. I load one in the chamber and 2 in the magazine. It will fire the one in the chamber , no problem, second will jam at a 75 degree angle before entering the chamber. I thought it needs to break in. My disappointment started after 150 rounds I was shooting basically single shots because it was constantly jamming. I call the *guys at the shogun range, with years of *experience shooting at the range, first guy told me you have to hold the gun tight, not like a girl, ok I said, *you try it. He did, no change , gun still jamming. He called another *guy. He came over and told me, *it needs to be well lube. He lube it to the point the *lube dripping everywhere. He shot it with same results. It will jam on average every second *to third round. A old timer that was looking at us with a smirk in his face told me, you are using weak loads. He load *3 inch heavy load Winchester ammo. No change after 12 rounds it jam 4 times. He turn around and ask me , how much you pay for this thing? His smirk turn into a big laugh. There u go, if you think benelli can't release a defective product, get a super Vinci , once you fired it you can't return it. You can't find that there is a problem until you fire it. What a scam. When i bought a car in 1970 u was very carefully with the engine need since *it to break in for few thousand miles , 2011 and a gun can't shoot well out of the box? Don't buy Argentina marketing, *is just that, marketing. I took it back to cabelas, now it is on it's way to benelli.

Glad I saw the post from Chirriones. I thought I may be the only one. My new Super Vinci jammed out of the box and on an Eastern Turkey Hunt last year. Luckily I killed the gobbler with first shot. This is my second Benelli and both have jammed. The Super Black Eafgle seems to have gooten better after time. I was foolish enough to buy another after my buddy and I both agreed it felt the best. I sent Super Vinci back to Benelli and they said they made some adjustments. The gun jammed with 2 3/4, 3 and 3 1/2 shells after I got it back. Jammed today dove hunting with my kids. I am going to take it apart and clean it again and oil it again. Maybe I have not shot enough rounds but I agree with others why pay the money if you have to spend years breaking it in. I can always depend on my single shots. H&Rs never fail.

Ive never had anything but excellent service from benelli. if something is still not right give them a call. they have a 10 year warranty (best in shotguns) and im sure they will make it right.

It comes with a 5 years Warranty in Canada what a shame. Have any clue why there is no other Benelli Website for different Countries ?
