Benelli’s revolutionary new Vinci semi-auto shotgun has been selected for a Field & Stream “Best of the Best Award” in the shotgun category for 2009.
The Vinci faced stiff competition in its category, but the judges ultimately decided that it was the most innovative and best-designed product in the shotgun class. The Vinci will be featured in Field & Stream’s September 2009 issue.
Field & Stream 2009 Best of the Best Award
Field & Stream annually tests and compares hunting gear, to find the best new products on the market. The editors of Field & Stream employ critical judging criteria such as the significance of the innovation, the quality of the design, and the value it provides the hunter. The winners in all categories shared one quality: excellence in the field.
The Vinci has no equal when it comes to the real timeline of performance speed, which involves much more than just the rapid cycling of an action. The practical “speed” shooters seek becomes a matter of how fast you can shoulder the gun, acquire the target, shoot, and recover from recoil to prepare for the next shot. And don’t forget reliability-Benelli continues to be the most reliable auto-loading shotgun in the world. Once again, Benelli leaves the competition in the dust.
“To be honored with Field & Stream’s Best of the Best Award, confirms what other outdoor writers and hunters have already discovered” said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli USA’s VP of Marketing & Communications, “that the new Vinci meets or beats our marketing claims and is truly revolutionary.”
