In reality, in use this stock is as rigid as that of any other shotgun, but on the evidence of the facts it transmits recoil much less. Polyurethane inserts, also in the shape of a boomerang, fill the eyelets mentioned above it would almost seem that the set described was designed to create a pleasant aesthetic motif in the shape of an arrow and nothing more instead, it is an original system, covered by an international patent, to make the stock more flexible, or rather to make it a deformable elastic structure. The result of this study was the ComforTech stock, built using a particular technopolymer hollow inside, it is externally recognized at first sight by a series of eyelets cut in the shape of a boomerang, arranged on both sides of the stock. They started from the interface between the hunter and the shotgun going through the recoil: stock. This challenge stimulated Benelli to seek new solutions with results that even twenty years ago would have been judged miraculous: to reduce the feeling of recoil without renouncing the lightness of the firearm.Įxperience teaches us that among the most common expedients to reduce the perceived recoil are the use of shock absorbers for the moving parts of the mechanics, the muzzle brakes, the increased bore of the barrel, the softening of the connection between the cartridge chamber and the core of the barrel and so on.īenelli technicians, rather than mechanics, preferred to focus on other aspects of the semi-automatic shotgun, much more important for post-shot behavior. How did you get to anti-recoil Comfortech 3 system? Three seemingly incompatible features, and the keyword it's just seemingly. Today things have changed: on the one hand it is claimed that the semi-automatic shotgun fires the powerful cartridges with Magnum (or even Super Magnum) loading, on the other hand the weight of the firearm must not be excessive and, ultimately, recoil must not be punitive. Benelli and the search for the best anti-recoil system in the world on technopolymer stock: Comfortech 3.Īre not seemingly impossible challenges stimulating the search for new paths and new solutions? Isn't that the desire to overcome the common laws of physics and widen the horizon of the possible a little more?Īccording to an old empirical rule of general use, the weight of the hunting shotgun had to be equal to a hundred times the lead charge that was intended to be used for example, to conveniently shoot cartridges loaded with 28 grams of lead pellets, a side-by-side weighing about 2.8 kg was considered suitable. This is what drives the constant Benelli research and is perfectly exemplified in the full comfort system, a set of design solutions evolved over the years and which have forever revolutionized shooting habits. Technology at the service of the best performance.
