New to automatic

[Deerslayer]

This will be my first automatic. Am thinking of getting the 300 win mag mostly for long shots here in the south but also plan to do a little elk hunting. What is the over all opinion on the Comf R1. I shot the Browning BAR 300 Win Mag and was impressed with the gun. I value your opinions on both the R1 as an automatic but also on the comfortech. Is it as good as benelli says it is?? I listened to you all before I bought my SBEII and am very glad that I did. I love it!! So what should I do??
Thanks

Got the comfortech 30/06....

The dealer I got it from told me it was as acurate as a bolt action, I doubt it but we shall see....

It IS as accurate as A bolt action.
I know the poor sucker who has that bolt gun tongue.gif

Tucker,
Did you decide yet on wether to go with the BAR or Comfortech?? Also can you/and would you want to put a BOSS system on the BAR in 300 Win Mag??
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

I haven't fully decided yet.
I want to shoot the R1 once more bfore doing so.

I would not and will not put the BOSS system on any rifle.
Too freakin' loud.
