Hi all,

Thinking about buying a Benelli r1 rifle, heard some bad things about reliability. Can any of you give me a report on reliability and accuracy?

Would I be better off with a browning BAR?

Thanks.
 
Enlighten us, what sort of bad things have you heard about the Benelli R1 Rifle ?
I have seen 7MM BAR shoot Keyholes down range before, but that wasnt the fault of the rifle, but rather the bullet powder combo that was tried at the time.
Enjoy,
Rob
 
I they jam a lot, I know some of us have problems with semi autos because of poor ammo of lack of proper maintenance witch isn't a problem for me. Just wanted to know about precision and reliability...
 
You won't find a better made semi-auto in that price range. Mine is a 300 Win and it shoots accurately and has never malfunctioned. I also have a BAR in 308 that I am very fond of, but the mechanism is much more complicated and requires more maintenance. The R1 is a fantastic gun, plain and simple.
