Benelli MR1 Question
- Thread starter Bowie
- Start date
There are three different stocks on the MR1. I can only address the "comfortech stock" and can say that it is an issue. I tried my ACOG on it and it was closer to chin weld than cheek weld. Love the gun though, beautifully made. With the comfortech stock, it honestly feels like shooting a .22
With the adjustable stock your cheekweld versus sight height depends on which position the stock is in.
I get a cheek/chin weld in the shorter positions that fit me and my scope setup. A definite cheekweld with the irons.
I have a stock pad for it but don't use it now. It gives me a good cheekweld with the scope but makes the irons hard to use and adds weight to the carbine.

Wish I could help. Anyone as patient as you deserves it. I did look originally before I bought the gun and my impression was no with respect to replacement but that was 18 months ago and I could have been wrong and perhaps it's changed. I did a few minutes of googling just now but no luck...
"Question to Al Flaherty staff
Is it possible to get the Comfortech stock to replace the one which came with the first version of the MR1?
Is it the generic Benelli Comfortech stock, part number 83100?
Thanks"

If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick up the sling? I can't seem to find anything in the stores locally that looks like it will do the job. Also what else have you done modification wise? And where are you finding parts? I like the looks of it! (top one mostly)
The sight on my collapsible stock MR1 is telescopic (Vortex spitfire) and thus requires me to have a good cheek weld and length of pull to achieve proper eye relief. I recommend low profile optics or mounts with removable risers; even with the collapsible stock. The ACOG is a super nice sight for a semi auto, but I doubt that it will be ideal on an MR1 given how tall of the rail it stands. My fixed stock example is sporting an aimpoint pro, I had to remove the riser and drop it low to keep my cheek weld.
I have yet to play with the comfortech version, the cartridge this rifle fires hardly merits a recoil reducing buttstock lol
I bought the 5.11 sling from site sponsor DS Tactical. I just put an old web loop I had in my parts drawer on the stock and attached the 2 point to it.
The 2x7 Redfield is in an NCStar knock off QD mount but it's worked fine so far. The scope is a Redfield 2x7 Accurange reticle and the holdover works fine to 200 yards. I need to find a longer range to stretch it out. With both eyes open at 2x the scope is fast to use at closer range.
Dlask shortened the barrel to 18.5" and threaded it 1/2" x 28. It has an A2 birdcage on it.
On the left I have a 960 lumen Fenix PD35 and on the right a cheap tape switch laser set up for 10-15 yards. I'm going to get a black infra red/visible laser for it when I source one.
