Benelli/Franchi “Click”?

When I got my stoeger m3500 first thing I was told to do was go skeet shoot with 1 1/4 duck loads and work in some cheap turkey or duck 3.5 magnums to break in the inertia spring.

The 3500 comes with a 'recoil reducer' lug in the stock, it will absorb a good bit and not cycle 2 3/4 7/8oz loads, 1oz seems to be no problem. Take the recoil reducer out and it cycles all flawlessly. It's my duck gun that just wont die. Had it 10 years and want to upgrade to a Benelli but only when this one quits.
 
Neve had that issue with my super Vinci. ~ 800 rounds (I know not much for a shotgun) through it, some hunting loads for ducks but probably 600/800 were just cheap skeet/trap ammo for….trap and skeet.

I sort of want to move on from the super Vinci and get an SBE3.

I always wanted a super vinci, shame they stopped making that model. Why do you want the change?
I'm picking up an M2 after the first of the year.
 
As others have said (several times), you have to let the bolt slam forward. If you "quietly" let it go forward, you will experience the clicks. It's similar to riding the slide on a pistol when loading it. You are supposed to "rack it"- pull it sharply and let it go to chamber the top round in the magazine.
Proof of this is when you shoot the shotgun, have you ever had the "click" on the round that just chambered after firing the first? If not, then you know the loading of the chamber process is where the problem is- Operator error. If it clicks on the second round, then you have to look further and clean the bolt, lube it, etc.
