    This is a repost ,but I think it is more relevent here."It was more like the Hand of God came down and said "This is your day!". I walked into the gun store and they had a Benelli R1 in .308 w/wood stocks the price was $635.00! It seems the previous owner wasn't getting a tight enough group, got fed up and kicked this dog to the curb! I quickly asked for the rifle,as there were several Hunters milling around the area .Using the "Jedi Mind Trick", I asked him to swap the Comfortech stocks off of one of the numerous R1's they stocked.He happily did just that and charged me $ 50 difference! Keeping my cool I enquired about installing the 4.5X14 50MM VXL as well. After about 20mins the deal was done at a final cost of $1465. Yes, the scope cost more than the rifle ,but what is a grown boy supposed to do? P.S. I have now added three 10rd clips from Benelli to the system."

    I have the .308 caliber R1 upgraded with the Comfortech stocks.It is the best shooting rifle I have used in a while.It feels like a BAR ,but without the super loud BOSS system. The kick is minimal and it preforms well with all of the four types of ammo I have fired.

    I recently purchased a Benelli R1 in .308 for 653.00.I have upgraded to a Comfortech stocks and a Leupold VXL 4.5-14X50mm. I love this rifle! I did notice that the accuracy is affected by the "barrel cap" greatly. However, the results are very pleasing! I found the rifle to be capable of sub 1" groups. I even put a hole through a quarter at 100yds. ! I couldn't be more pleased with this product. However,I would like to hear about any different ways to keep the cap from coming loose during fire.
