If you have time try the Indian Creek .665 with the LB XR #6 in your Vinci!!!! Thinking you'd like it!!!

Maybe not this year but I would like to try one. I see good things from Indian Creek. Have you tried #4s through an Indian Creek?

Ive been using the 3" LB with the carlson LB choke on my Vinci this year. Ive shot it at 25 yards a couple times and havent been able to count the pellet holes. Theres a few spread out bbs and a bullet hole right in the middle about 1.5" diameter. It shot about 6-8" high at 25 so i bought a red dot to take out the guess work.

I bought a Red dot too because mine was shooting high.  Some guns do. Vinci is a waterfowl gun and they don't want the head covering the target.
