Has anyone heard anything about Benelli's New Rifle?

Its called the R1 and comes in 30-06 and 300 win. mag. Its a semi-auto. I know they make quality shotguns, but with this being there first rifle, I was wondering if anyone has shot it or heard anything about it.

I read a review in Guns and Ammo Magazine a month or two ago. The reviews were pretty good with accuracy on par with the browning and remington autos. Sounds as if it will have interchangable barrels. Don't remember the price the listed.
