Has anyone tried out Benelli' s new semi auto rifle? I think it is the R1. Does anyone know anything about it.
Thanks

Saw it in American Rifleman. Accuracy and wieght of the gun was not that good for how much they suggested for the price.

i have seen many articles latley from gun tests magazine. and many others. but like big country stated. for the price and accuracy it is not worth it. i would take my BAR anyday over it. atleast the bugs or most have been worked out of the BAR.
