Default RE: Benelli R-1 Reviews?

Although not a comfort tech, I just traded away my 30.06 R-1 away last weekend for a Tikka T3. TheR-1 is very well made and I loved the way it carried and came up. But I hated the trigger (too much creep and heavy) and the safety was in the front of the guard and with gloves on, I struggled with it. Less important, the owner’s manual is horrible and you’re on your own for some maintenance procedures. My father-in-law loved my gun and bought a comfort tech 300 wsm a few weeks ago. He loves it, but used a gun cradle and a triggerplunger to site it in.

I guess I am not much of a semi guy,so maybe not the bestjudge, but I felt it was a lot of money not to be totally happy with it.
