Benelli R1 Semi Auto Rifle Walnut Stock (call for IN Store Pricing)

Most sporting firearms today differ little in terms of technology from those developed a century ago. That's why the design team at Benelli set out to create something completely new, and succeeded with the R1 semi-automatic hunting rifle – a trim, fast-handling firearm with style to spare.

The R1's action is based on Benelli's innovative M4 military shotgun used by the United States Marine Corps. It incorporates the auto-regulating, gas-operated (ARGO) system adapted for use with centerfire rifle cartridges paired with a three-lug rotary bolt. The gas cylinder is positioned to allow for a short operating rod, resulting in less felt recoil than other rifles.

Key features include:

• Free-floating, cryogenically treated barrel for outstanding accuracy
• Sturdy steel upper receiver provides secure platform for mounting optics
• Anodized aluminum lower receiver reduces weight
• Select walnut stock with unique recoil pad that is thickest where recoil is concentrated
• Sleek outline reminiscent of Benelli's legendary Super Black Eagle shotgun

The R1's ergonomic design seamlessly blends curves and angles into a masterpiece of innovative elegance as effective and efficient as it is pleasing to the eye, a harmonious uniting of form and function.
