A Revolutionary New Design. Benelli is an Italian firearms manufacturer located in Urbino, Italy and is world famous for producing high quality hunting, military and law enforcement shotguns. At the heart of the Benelli Vinci design is a unique In-Line Inertia Driven system. With no parts in the stock or affixed to the magazine tube, the gun balances evenly in the hands.

The In-Line Inertia Driven system differs from Benelli's standard Inertia system through the use of a shorter bolt that operates simply and efficiently on a single axis. This innovative design provides softer recoil, especially when shooting high-velocity magnum shells.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, Sir Isaac Newton�s First Law of Physics, "The Law of Inertia�, simply states that an object in motion (the bolt) has a tendency to stay in motion until acted upon by an another force (the recoil spring). Benelli has harnessed this basic law of physics in their Inertia Driven system to operate the world�s fastest, simplest and most reliable semi-automatic shotgun.

It never needs to be adjusted and will cycle everything from field to magnum loads with consistent reliability, year after year. In fact, there are Benelli Inertia Driven shotguns that have fired over 500,000 rounds and still functioning flawlessly today.

The operating system is simple with only three primary parts: the bolt body, the inertia spring and the rotating bolt head. With a significantly reduced number of moving parts, the Inertia Driven shotgun is faster. Due to the fact that it's not gas operated, the Benelli Vinci runs smoother and cleaner.

Gas, smoke and burnt powder stay in the barrel where they belong, rather than being channeled into the action, as with gas driven systems. In addition, because there are no additional moving parts to fail like gas rings, sleeves, cylinders, ports or rubber o-rings, Benelli shotguns are much more reliable. The shotgun is incredibly simple and lightweight, weighing in at only 6.9 pounds. With no springs, action bar linkage or a heavy gas cylinder under the forend, the Benelli balances like a high performance shotgun should-- perfectly.

A rotating bolt head is attached to the main body of the bolt by means of a short, stiff spring. Vault- like, tight steel-to-steel lockup is achieved inside the barrel, and the lugs engage even tighter when the gun is fired. The bolt head, which is fitted into keyways of the barrel similar to that of a bolt action rifle, remains locked and stationary at the moment the gun is fired.

As the mass of the bolt body accelerates rapidly forward, the connecting spring subsequently becomes compressed. When it is fully tensioned, the bolt drives back, unlocking the bolt head and cycling the shotgun. The Vinci dispenses with a conventional buttstock tube return spring and has a return spring partially concealed in the bolt and only extends 7� in total length.

The Benelli Vinci is engineered to run reliably with everything from light 2-3/4" loads up to 3" magnums. The shotgun's low recoil can be attributed to its ComforTech Plus stock, which is divided into 24- shock absorbing chevrons arranged diagonally from the heel of the buttstock, to just behind the pistol grip. This synthetic stock is designed so the exterior shell flexes outward to further dampen recoil. When mounting the gun, a beveled recoil pad fits nicely into the shoulder pocket.

The ComforTech Plus comb pad cushions the cheek during recoil, and provides a slick surface that allows your cheek to slide along the comb during recoil. This eliminates frictional resistance and insulates your face from shock and vibration. The "V-Grip" buttstock pistol grip has a corrugated non-slip texture molded into the surface structure and the Vinci is equipped with a more ergonomic forend than its predecessors.

The 28" hammer-forged barrel has a high quality Fleurs de Lys proofed steel that is then chrome lined, which provides two major advantages. The first is to ensure that the internal barrel dimensions are perfectly concentric, which greatly enhances accuracy. The second is to add strength for handling steel shot and magnum loads. The barrel is exceptionally well made and then stress relieved by a cryogenic freezing process that creates a uniform shot pattern and enables the barrel to stay cleaner, longer.

In what Benelli refers to as its "Crio System" barrel, you get denser patterns with 13.2% more pellets on target. Cryogenically treating a barrel relieves stresses caused by hammer forging, creating a smoother and more uniform surface. By freezing the barrel to -300F, friction is reduced internally to minimize lead and plastic residue build- up. In effect, the molecular structure of the metal is altered, making it less porous. Five Crio- accurized chokes are also included with the package-- C, IC, M, IM and F.

A large trigger guard accommodate gloves, and the trigger group features easy, one-pin removal for cleaning. The Vinci utilizes a 3- piece modular design that allow the gun to be easily disassembled for cleaning or transport (buttstock module, barrel / receiver module, and trigger group / forearm module).

For ease of operation, the bolt handle has been oversized and the bolt release enlarged. The bolt holdback button is conveniently located in front of the trigger guard where it can be easily reached with either hand. Benelli's Quadra Fit drop and cast stock shim kit allows the shooter to custom fit the gun to their personal dimensions.

A stealth- like, matte black finish minimizes detection from waterfowl and other game animals. Though it may not provide the ability to completely disappear like Benelli's advanced camo patterns, the neutral black finish is still versatile because it's not specific to certain types of foliage and blends reasonably well in all environments.

The raised rib barrel features a mid bead with red bar front sight that's visible and gets on target quickly. For the safest and most natural place to maintain the trigger finger, the Vinci's large, round safety button has been re- located forward of the trigger. For service or repair, the shotgun is backed by a rock solid 10 year manufacturers warranty. Overall, the Benelli Vinci is a lightweight, dependable, accurate and superbly balanced shotgun that you can rely on every time.
