Today’s waterfowl shotguns are lighter, faster, more reliable and softer on the shoulder than we could have imagined just a few short years ago.

Benelli Vinci
Take off the forend and off comes the trigger group, shell carrier and magazine assembly. The stock can be changed in a snap with no tools, and options include standard butt, pistol grip, turkey grip and slug-steady grip, all with adjustable length of pull and drop, cast and comb height. Adjustments are made in minutes with no tools.
The Benelli inertia system is in a straight line with the barrel. All fouling exits the bore. This "in-line" concept has the ultra simplicity and reliability of the AR design, and the recoil is as soft as any other semi-auto.
It goes on: beveled magazine-loading port; bolt lock lever; V-grip forearm and magazine cap. The Vinci is without a doubt the most innovative, radically designed shotgun in history. You have to experience this shotgun to believe how well it performs. We've come to expect innovation from Benelli. They brought us inertia systems, rotating bolt heads and a host of other breakthroughs, so this new design is yet another breakthrough. There will be 26- through 28-inch barrel options with an MSRP at around $1,450. >> Benelli Vinci website
