R1 ComforTech in .270 WSM at Shot Show

[Cordoba]

Just got back from the show and saw the R1 Comfortec in .270 WSM. Yea! It's about time. Now let's see if they can ship 'em.

I was told that later this month, February, Benelli was going to offer Comfortech R1s in several WSM calibers. This is a good sign toward that end.

I am a little confused; I hear that Benelli is making the WSM in comfortech. I called and one lady said yes, should be out soon. I haven't heard anything in a while so I called back and the guys says, "No, we only offer it in 30-06 & 300" "No we don't make them." So I called to talk to another rep and they say the same thing... .

If they are making them, what is the big deal, just say, Yeah we are and hope you like it... (it is a product no? We pay good money for don't we? ) Or if you are not going to just be honest and say, at this time we aren't into the WSM's and be done with it... If Benelli scans this forum, I hope they can get it together a little better and inform their reps here in the USA so it doesn't appear they are sub quality company... My opion worth 2 cents....

Any additional shot show information or updates on R1 ComforTech in .270 WSM or .300 WSM?

I was told that late Feb or early March Benelli was going to announce several versions of the R1 Comfotech in WSM calibers. The info came from a reliable source. I was inquiring about the 300 WSM and told to sit tight....it was coming.

I found a Benelli Press Release today announcing R1 Comfortech in .270 and .300 WSM's.

I'm not sure I like the "tacky feeling" GripTight" overcoating idea.
Sounds like a DirtMagnet technology to me.

That Montefeltro Silver has got me drooling though!
