That's the 1st question that needs to be answered!!!!!!!
I have bought auto's from $300 to $1600. |

Most likely no more than 800 if I can sell everything I have or work a trade with someone

Good luck finding a good auto (new or slightly used) especially one that shoots 3-1/2" shells these days for 800 bucks........

I heard alot of trash talk about Charles Daly guns, I bought a youth 20 ga auto about 10 years ago for the boys $300 new.......that damn thing has been used & abused I'm scared to say how many cases have been shot through it shooting trap. It has never failed to fire. Boys have even killed a couple turkeys, ducks & a deer with it. The ejector tab or finger tab to manually eject a shell broke last year, it was probably due to the chamber slamming shut thousands of times, I'd say metal fatigue, anyway I called Charles Daly & had one a week later at no charge.
Probably 90% of auto problems is due to poor cleaning, 1st thing that is done when we finish shooting is all guns are broken down & thourghly cleaned before being stored. |

well i sold a few things and saved up my moneyand now have a budget or about 1500 dollars. I like the way the benelli guns feel in my hands but i cant decide between the vinci and the sbe2. Also willing to look at other options any advice or opinions are appreciated

The Vinci only has a 3" chamber, last time I checked. Just depends on if you want the 3 1/2" or not. If so you need the SBE...

Buy used and spend the extra cash for more gear. Older Browning Gold's are selling for $600-$700, SBE I's $700-$900. You may have to hunt hard but they are out there, don't get caught up in the GOTTA HAVE IT syndrome. |

I have to look at that gun when i go to bass pro this weekend to see if i like it. I see you just bought a sbe2 whats the reason for switching from the gold to the sbe2?

I shoot a sbe 2 it's a great gun. I was talking to a guide who said he bought a Vinci and didn't even shoot it a whole season

I bought a Beretta Urika 2 back in the spring for around $1100 new. Academy has the Browning silver hunter around the $800-$900 range.

If u gonna spend over $1k on a shotgun, gotta go Benelli. Lightest, fastest, easy to clean, and very balanced. Beretta is a good gun but very bulky. Browning weighs a ton.
