I have been thinking about getting a R1 in the comfortec and changing out the 30-06 to a 20" .300 win mag. Do the replacement barrels come in both gloss and matte. Rumor has it that they are just gloss. Silly to put a gloss barrel on a matte gun. What have you guys seen?
I am thinking about getting another deer rifle and am interested in the .300 Win. Mag. Comfortech version but with a 20" barrel not the 24"er. Has anyone heard of Benelli making the 20" in the Comfortech version? What is the best price or place around on the Comfortech R1 you guys have seen? What do optional barrels run?
I had originally decided to get an R1 20" and was looking at them at the NRA show here is St Louis a couple months ago just to be sure that is what I wanted. Well, my mind has changed, I went with the new Merkel SR1 rifle in .300 Win Mag with just over a 20" barrel.

You cant beat a quality German rifle. I Just wanted everyone to know of a new option on the market.
I am so close in getting a new R1 Comfortech in 30-06 wit the 20" barrel. I do a lot of walking and brush deer hunting. Would there be any real negatives to the 20 over the 22 barrel. I shoot short ranges 50-100yrs while deer hunting. Any help would be great and are there any photos of the 20" R1 anywhere???
WTF! How can the ATF state on the phone there is not an issue and I gave him the exact model (11707) and items to be installed (extension and adjustable stock). He stated it would not be an issue at all. I give up and am selling it all:rolleyes:
