So I'm always thinking about switching out guns. I kinda feel like I need an upgrade from my old clunky 835 that I can't get to eject shells or feed shells from the magazine. The safety is broken too. Sent it to a gunsmith and they couldn't fix any of these things and couldn't understand why nothing they did worked. Plus the gun is a little heavy. I have not missed a turkey with this gun since I began using it several years ago. It has a crappy OD green paint job from yours truly. I imagine if I sold this old beast I wouldn't get much for it.
Now for the next part of this story I have a Benelli Super Vinci that I rarely use. The gun was a parting gift from co-workers and clients 7 years ago. I have killed turkeys, ducks and geese with this gun but I like my old original Benelli SBE I better. So I'm thinking of selling the Super Vinci or trading it in on a Weatherby SA-459 turkey in 20 gauge. I can't stop thinking about it. I could take my Vortex Venom off the old 835 and slap it on the new little SA-459 and be done with it.
I just need/want some objective convincing either way.

I love my original Benelli SBE 1 with a Satin Walnut Stock. I think yours will make a great turkey gun. They are light, and handle all loads. You can put a red dot on it using a Meadow Creek rib mount. That's what I would move to. Best of luck....
I really like my Benelli SBE I 24" Advantage Timber camo. It has done in a number of gobblers since I bought it new in 2002. IF forced to choose only one turkey gun as much as I like others I own it would be my choice.

Amen, a real beauty..
I love my Vinci, and will never part with it. That being said, the Super Vinci is worth way more than that Turkish made Weatherby. I would sell the SV before trading it, you would be a better off money wise i would think.
