i'm currently in the market for a benelli super vinci however i am having a hard time decided between the black synthetic, and the realtree apg...i've heard some horror stories about the camo peeling/cracking/chipping on benelli's....can anybody add some advice from experience here, if so i would love to hear it cuz i dont really wanna spend that much money on something that wont last as far as exterior quality...thanks

Our household has alot of semi auto benellis. And never once had camo chip or peel off. I wouldnt worry about that at all.

I bought a super vinci last season 26" barrel in APG camo. Not one complaint about the gun or the camo. the gun probably saw 30-40 days afield.
 
thanks for your reply i was really leaning towards the realtree apg but got a little worried...i also am getting it in a 26" barrel...i would love to hear more of how if performs if u dont mind as i cant find too many reviews that are real and not a "pay-off" type of review....looking forward to learning more about it thanks
 
I find that camo guns, regardless of brand will look slightly faded after a few season. I personally don't care either way as faded ammo and dings on wood all just adds character as far as I am concern.
 
The new camo finish must be a lot better than in the past with the SBEII's. I was facing the same question about 4-5 years ago. I bought the cheaper blued synthetic model and took the money I saved and put it towards a Cerakote paint job. The fellows at ATRS did it for me and it still looks new, probably the most durable finish on the market IMO. Camo is a gimmick in most cases anyways. Waterfowl I shot didn't seem to mind my gun was flat black!

The Guns a 10/10. Once you get past the futuristic, nerf gun looks it is a tool and a great one at that.

Cleaning the gun is handsdown the easiest of any semi I've ever knowned, and our household has owned them all and I'm the main cleaning guy so I got tried of cleaning winchesters sx2s, they're great guns but take awhile to do a full clean. The vinci, is broken apart in 3 pieces in 10 secs, and cleans, and put back together just as quick.

Only thing easier to clean is a break action shotgun.

I've never had a jam yet, mainly 2 3/4, 3" duck loads, and goose 3.5" shells. Trap loads have cycled just fine too, shoot alot of starlings in the summer months.

The only flaw the vinci's have had, is on the vinci model sometimes your finger gets pinched against the trigger guard. They tried to rectify this problem on the super vincis. Comparing side to side you'll notice theres material taken away on the backside of the trigger guard so your pointer finger has a much lower chance of ever getting pinched in there. Its only happened twice out of a couple cases of shells and a full year of duck hunting. It was more out of the funny angle I was shooting, shot two geese flying over head while duck hunting and the muzzle was straight up.
 
I have a new Benelli M2 in Realtree APG and the camo finish is delicate, no question about it. You can scratch/chip it easily and I have checked out a few others in store and they have the exact same thing. That being said, it is a camo gun, a scratched/chipped finish doesn't really matter on a camo gun. I am extremely happy with the fit/function of the gun, so not going to sweat the camo. If you are going to get all bent out of shape by small chips/scratches in the finish, do yourself a favour and get the black model.

i was thinking to get black but it will do the same thing with the scuffs and scraps however u will notice it more with black...so i think i'm gonna take my chances with the camo but thank u all for the valuble input
