Glad to hear it. This thread isn't for you.

Nothing I know of for the Comfortech models. Kick-Eez and Pachmayr make aftermarket pads for standard mounts.

Download the target via the link provided and print it as a full page photo or fax image. The dots should be 1/2" in diameter. Here's the link again. http://imgur.com/LSwmy.jpg

Here are the numbers from my SBEII crio chokes. .727" - Skeet ***** .717" - Imp. Cyl. **** .704" - Mod. *** .697" - Imp. Mod. ** .684" - Full *

If you're shooting them in the Spring and want to use a larger capacity magazine, then the SBEII or M2 would be the best choice. You can readily find magazine extensions for those models. http://www.briley.com/benellisuperblackeagle.aspx I like the SBEII because of it's upper/lower design. It's a cinch to take apart and clean.

Perhaps he's a contract worker.

That target is from my 22-250.

Not to mention the Cougar. Used to be a Beretta. Now it's a Stoeger.

That's very good shooting! I'd love to see what that rifle could do with the target I posted yesterday. Give a try sometime! No one is saying that the short mags can't be beat. I'm just saying that they are more suitably built for repeatable accuracy than are the longs.

It would have to be a barrel clamp mount. Link to search

Did you check gunbroker, auction arms, armslist, etc.?

I am also wanting to try the target with each line at random distances from say 50 to 400 yards, having someone else set the distances and not give them to me. Yeah, I thin 50 yards for a .22 would be more than fair.

Hey guys. Just for fun, try the target I posted here sometime. http://www.benelliusa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23441

Here's my one and only try on the target. I may make another run at this Fall.

We could argue all day about whether 3 shots, 5 shots, or more are the appropriate number to truly identify the accuracy of a given rifle and shooter. The fact is, in most hunting situations, one shot is all that's needed. That's why I always end my range session with a single shot fired from a clean cold bore. That's the shot I want to hit its mark, whether it's a deer at 75 yards or a varmint at 400. However, if you want a truly humbling shooting experience, take this target with you to the range and give it a go. http://imgur.com/LSwmy.jpg Post your results here, if you're not too embarrassed by them .

Beretta Holding is the parent company. They wholly own Beretta, Benelli, Stoeger, Uberti, Burris, Franchi, SAKO, Tikka, and some of Browning.

The built-in flaws have been covered here at length before. Search for the thread if you want to spend more time trying to debate some issues. I'll stand by initial statement that the WSM cartridges have the potential to deliver better accuracy than do their longer sister cartridges. Whether or not the Benelli rifle is built to capitalize on them is of no concern to me. I was responding to the title question.

WSM's were developed in and for bolt action guns. They weren't made for Benelli. Benelli made rifles for them. In the rifles for which they were built, the shorter actions are more rigid and the powder burns more uniformly due to the shorter case length. The Benelli R1 line of semi-automatic rifles have a number of accuracy-robbing flaws built into them. Some have good luck with them. many do not. As a short to medium range big game rifle, they aren't bad. They are not long-range rifles. "The main argument in favor of any of the short magnums is their alleged greater efficiency due to their shorter powder column. The theory is that this shorter but wider powder column is more quickly and evenly ignited by the explosion of the primer, yielding more consistent pressure and somewhat improved accuracy compared to a standard length cartridge of the same capacity. More important, the short magnum cartridges work through short rifle actions, which saves about 1/2 inch of bolt throw as well as overall rifle length, and a few ounces of weight. (The latter is rather a mixed blessing when shooting a magnum cartridge.)" http://www.chuckhawks.com/short_magnums.htm

WSM's not only lighten the action weight and shorten the stroke. They are inherently more accurate than longer cases, because they provide a more uniformed powder burn from one shot to the next. Used in the right kind of rifle, the WSM's are extremely accurate cartridges.

Yes. Those can easily be done.

The lowers are identical and the safeties are reversible. You'll need a left-handed upper, bolt assembly and gel pad. Even if you somehow find those parts separately, you'll spend as much or more as you would if you were to simply sell the RH gun and buy a LH one.

Exactly as stated above. The camo film tightens up tolerances that were already closer than most makers to begin with. A film of light oil on those spots won't hurt a thing.

Go to Walmart or whatever and get a small bottle of flat enamel model paint in the appropriate color.
