Probably a quality piece, but UGLY won't begin to describeit's looks. I'll stick with the Nova.

I have always found Benelli's to be kinda ugly and the Vinci is no exception. I was looking at some pictures of it on Outdoor life and they were saying it functioned great, had very light recoil, and held up under tons of shooting (they were on a dove hunt) but its really ugly and costs a grand and a half. Not really my cup of tea but reasonable minds could differ.

I'll take my Stoeger 2000. The action is virtually identical to the SBE, it is completely reliable, it costs 1/3 what the SBE and 1/4 what the Vinci does, and it is a more attractive shotgun. The Vinci takes the Euro-trash styling to an even higher level, and one thing Benelli is good at is Euro-trash styling.
