Benelli Comfortech stocks...... worth it?

Postby Smoke68 » Wed Jan 08, 2014 10:39 am

I'm looking at getting a Benelli M2 for use next season. I've been looking around the interwebs, and it seems the difference in the M2's with and without the Comfortech stock is around $200.

For anyone that's shot both, is the Comfortech stock worth it? I actually don't prefer those little arrow things on the stock from a looks standpoint, but if it really reduces felt recoil by 48% I'll just have to get over it.

I want to see the hard data on the "48% recoil reduction." Like how they defied newtonian physics and the formula for free recoil with a rubber insert in a stock. :lol: But Mark, I can "FEEL" the reduction after I paid extra for it! :wink: Take heart Benelli peeps, I call BS on EVERY manufacturer that does this stuff! :mrgreen: The word "felt" is in there to stop class-action lawyers from getting a bite....

Save your 200 and buy a limbsaver pad and put on the gun.

Due to bad neck I had been shooting 23/4 every chance I could to help with recoil. I finally took my Benelli 1 to a gun smith and asked him to help me with the recoil as it was causing me serious problems. He did two things for me. First he put a stronger spring in the stock and two he took the old plug out of the magazine. Then he put free weights (washers I guess with rubber stops) in a tube he had cut down so that when I fire the weights move to the front of tube taking out some of the recoil. The tube replaced my plug in magazine and has made my weapon a little heavier in front but after shooting will learn to compensate for the extra weight because the combination of the two took A LOOOOOOOT of the recoil out of the weapon. I wish I knew which helped the most but they were both done at the same time. I know this much I am no longer dreading pulling the trigger and the knot with open sore on my finger from recoil is going away. Hope this helps.

limbsaver pad is a lifesaver for a repaired rotator cuff (not the slip on kind...they end up twisting on the stock). i shoot a supernova w/comfortech and if it is cushioning 48% of recoil, then i've got a dirt bucket full of testicles and 10 yards of pecker!!!

Thanks for the advice. Passing on the comfortech and getting a limbsaver.

Btw, no one is currently selling the Airtech pad. Is it not available yet?

On second look it appears as though all the new M2's have a Comfortech stock. I saw this one and figured Benelli was selling them with and without. Not sure where this one came from, but it's the only M2 out there that I've seen without a Comfortech

I think they used to sell them without the Ctech. They called them the American version at one time. They pop up online every once in awhile. One on gunbroker for $1100. Not much savings.

This but it's a duck gun it's supposed to kick. Plus comfortech pads are a 100 dollars to replace. You will need to replace it if you hunt very much

So, I figured out that Benelli discontinued the American when they started manufacturing the Montefeltro. I'm looking for an American now. It's posts like these that drive me nuts......
