the r1 shoots like a dream....300wsm kicks like a .270 at best....sighted in and am very accurate at 100 yards...wouldnt hesitate to shoot 200+....the fit and finish is second to none and all this from a semi-auto....AWESOME!!! previous to this rifle i had an extremely accurate tikka t3 in 30-06 and the benelli is just as accurate and much easier on the shoulder...i`m very happy with this firearm...comfortech plays a big role i`m sure and looks cool too...i use a bushnell 3200 elite 3x-9x-40....the only downfall is that the barrel gets super hot when shooting, dont ask me why just a hot caliber i guess....3010fps out the muzzle
