My first 12 gauge. Shooting only pistols and rifles for years, I decided to get into shotguns and hunting waterfowl after a few trips with my nephew. I went back and forth between the Vinci and the Beretta Extrema 2. I chose the Vinci and am 100% satisfied with my choice. My nephew shoots the Extrema 2(with the kick off system) and it is everything it is said to be, a fine gun. There is a difference in how the 2 handle and shoot. The Extrema 2 does kick a little bit less but in a very different way. As I read somewhere else, the Extrema 2 is like a push and the Vinci is like a slap. I chose the Vinci for a few reasons: 1) because it seems to shoulder better for me than the Extrema, 2) it feels more balanced,the weight of the Extrema 2 feels much more forward although the Vinci only weighs 2 oz. less, 3) the Vinci was a little bit less $, 4) I love the look, 5) I wanted something different. I have shot my first case through it and not one issue. When comparing it to the Extrema 2, it cycles much faster and seems to get on target quicker for the second shot. When shooting the Extrema 2 right after shooting my Vinci, you can actually hear the cycling of the bolt in the Extrema 2 as though it is going in slow motion. Kind of like when shooting some AR's and you hear the spring. Shooting with the IC choke I am hitting over 85% of the targets. Overall, I feel I made a great choice and look forward to shooting this gun for years to come.
