New Benelli MRI 223 Rifle

That rear stock/pistol grip is the ugliest s**tpile that I have ever laid eyse on. I think it just broke my browser.

I was thinking myself that it probably wouldn't look so bad with an inline stock, preferably collapsible...it looks like a separate unit, so how knows, maybe in the future they'll offer different stock options.

I'm telling you... the Italians should stick to shotguns

If it shoots well, and was Non-Res, I could overlook its spaceyness easily.

+1, coyotes and paper don't care what your gun looks like when you shoot them. If it's non restricted and inexpensive then it's definitely going to be on my shopping list.

The price I got when I ordered mine was like $1500.00 plus the government.

Looks like a M4 style adapter would be fairly trivial to design... CTR+MIAD=way more love for that gun.

Love the curves on the MR1 though

Kinda sorta reminds me

Like this?

Second stock isn't bad. It's the trigger-guard's shape that I dislike the most.

Not now, not ever. But I would like whatever it is he is drinking.

I can usually find something about a firearm that I like. For instance on this one I like the, well the thing at the, I meant the curve of the....oh crap, I got nothing. Ugly gun radar in the background is screaming loudly.

I hope it works better than it looks.

What the F*ck is that?!

THAT is a shotgun pistol grip stock, with a shotgun style receiver and shotgun engineered gas system converted to hunting rifle slapped together with a molded forearm that they hoped would come together like a "black" rifle in the vain of the AR et al. Think along the lines of a Remington 7615... they both accept AR mags, and because of that they WILL sell.

 

[Scarecrow]

Non-res and around 1100$ would more than make up for how ugly this thing is!

Benelli cant make a shotgun for that much for christ sake.

The Benelli Carbine R1's are $1199... so it could be possible. Now the question I have is why did they do a .223, when they could have done a .308...

 

[blaxsun]

I think I was more excited when it was originally going to look like this. They were going to have a collapsible stock and the top rail ran the entire length. The barrel was also threaded for different adapters.

 

[wpgguy]

If it had a "Straight" stock at the back it would almost be a not bad looking rifle. AR stock adapter anyone?

 

[Steiner]

If pricing is good it will sell. If it becomes popular I'm sure someone will start some stock adapter production. I would be interested only if non-restricted.

 

[Camp Cook]

It maybe fugly but really for me it would be how it feels and points when I pick it up...

Ahhh who am I fooling I just ordered one of the first 3 OD green Robinson Arms XCR's in 223 that are coming into Canada so there is no way I'm buying one of these...
