Personal preference, but I disagree. The modern lines don't do it for me on the Vinci. Much like Browning Fusion that was introduced a couple years back. The SBE and M2 are both nice guns.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

I have a 1966 model Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 ga pump that is a bad dude! I shot it yesterday for the first time in years and I forgot how much I like that gun.

Ive always shot Belgian Brownings- I duck hunt with a Japanese made A-5 Stalker.

I like them but am just ready for something new- and that Vinci is doing it for me.
Just got to get permission from the Boss... and she wants a new Sofa :-(

Picked up my 12 gauge Benelli M2 in black today-- feels sweet - gonna go break it in tomorrow on some clays and get ready for phase 2 on a recently acquired lease in Brooks county.

FYI - If anyone is looking for a deer lease in Ga, this club is selling this years cheap since they got a late start. 3000 acres. Also -2 dove field. 2 flooded corn fields. Quail hunts. Turkey hunts. He will deal since he's behind.
