GlennRoss Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 In case anyone might be mildly interested (LOL), Cabela's here in Michigan (Dundee location) has the Comfortech Benelli R1's IN STOCK! I saw it yesterday (Monday Oct 24th) and oh my gosh, what a nice gun!!! It is a beauty and fits very softly in my shoulder. I am absolutely green with envy. They have a 30-06 and a 300 Win Mag both for $1199.99. That's about $250 more than I paid for the Woody version from them. (Does that sound right? None-the less, LOL) Their phone number is 734-529-4700. If you have a Cabela's near you I'd look them up and call if you're interested. I do not know if they'll hold one for you but it's worth asking. I can tell you, I love the figured walnut on my R1 300 WM, but if I had it to do over it wouldn't think twice about the choice: Comfortech for sure! I shot 140 rounds a little over a week ago and even with a muzzle brake my shoulder began to "feel the pain". More on that topic later. -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Attack Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 OHHH!!! Just went up there and held the comfortech R1 30-06.... IT'S MINE!!! I'm going to take the $500 loss, by trading in my current R1 and buying the comfortech... as soon as I do that Benelli will offer the upgrade... lol.

Alien Attack Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well, cabela's said they'd give $700 for the R1. The new comfortech is $1200. That leaves ~$500 difference for me to make up. Not sure what the going price for a used R1 is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Attack Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well I got my comfortech and wow was it worth it!!! At first I would have rather had the 22" barrel instead of the 24" barrel, but after shooting it at the range it has seemed to help my accuracy. I wouldn't think that 2 inches on a barrel could a/effect accuracy that much, but I had two groups @ 100yds that all 3 rounds were touching. As eluded to in my other post my digital is on the fritz otherwise I would post the pics. Luck? Maybe, but 2 different groups? The funny thing was the guys in the stalls (at the rifle range ) to the left and right saw my groups and wanted to know what kind of gunsmithing I had on my bolt to get those groups.... lol... I told them I had the bolt removed, added a rotating bolt head and had an argo system installed. You could tell by their perplexed look they had no idea what I was talking about or how the rifle could even function like that... It was a hot topic at the range once they found out it wasn't a bolt action...

Dance&Sting Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Does the new Comfortech really help increase accuracy with it's recoil reduction methods? I really like the selected walnut on the standard rifle but will the pain from the recoiling make me change my mind about looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shekaree Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dance&Sting, I was in Rogers, Minnesota's Cableas 3 weeks ago and when I wanted to buy the confortec, they told me that my back ground is not "clear" and I have been "delayed" I had to leave the next day so I didn't get my gun. After two days, they called me and said you can come and pick it up. I said No thanks!!!! I drove to WV Cableas from NC and got one from there and just came home with it. Once I shoot it, I will update you guys about it...so hang on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shekaree Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yes, I drove from NC to WV and saw over 80 deer in less then 60 miles on/from the interstate. It was nice to see so many there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
