ACCOKEEK, MD (January 15, 2009)
–– What’s in the case? It’s a secret! We’d like to show it to you, but
it’ll be under wraps for a while longer. We can tell you that the case
holds a real treasure—a new shotgun from Benelli that will
revolutionize the entire concept of the semi-automatic shotgun
world. Driven by the Benelli passion for simplicity and efficiency,
Benelli engineers have given birth to the gun they call the Vinci. They
have drawn their inspiration from the great Renaissance artist,
scientist and inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci.
Master Leonardo was a man ahead of his time and his notebooks, filled
with far-seeing inventions and ideas, show that he pushed the
boundaries of his world and always thought outside the box, or in this
instance—inside the case.
While
we can’t show you what’s inside the case, we can reveal that the new
Vinci will redefine the architecture of the semi-automatic shotgun.
You’ll have to take our word on it for a little while longer, but
remember; the master engineers at Benelli have a legacy that includes
many of the world’s great advances in firearm technology. Benelli
innovations include the Inertia Driven® action in 1967, the Rotating
Bolt in 1983, all coming together the following year with the landmark Super Black Eagle—the original 3 ½-inch Magnum shotgun. The legacy also includes the slick Nova Pump-action
introduced in 1998, the ARGO System developed for the M4 in 2000 and
the R1 hunting rifle in 2002. Other landmarks include the innovative
ComforTech® recoil reduction system and the Crio System® barrel
treatment. When the time comes to own this latest, most modern shotgun
model, as the Italians say, tu vince! — You win!

“Benelli
has done it again,” said Steve Otway, Benelli’s General Manager. “Just
when you think that there is nothing truly new in the shotgun world,
along comes the Vinci and that world changes forever. Let me tell you,
keeping this particular secret has been really hard. Once again, the
competition will have some catching-up to do!” |
