    R1 Recoil

    in R1 Rifle

    Posted

    I can comfortably run 80 rounds with my 30-06 R1, while I'm done after about 30 rounds with my old Enfield M1917. While I miss the bruising and after-shoot ache... er, well, okay, I don't.

    Probably been answered before, but why can't I find iron sights for my R1 here when they are available in Europe? Anyone else ordered them from somewhere? I found the parts breakdown here, but there's no obvious place to order them...

    Did you recently buy the R1? If so, what gun is it. Glad to hear you like it.

    Hey Jim,

    Yeah, I got my R1 about 6 months ago, a 30.06 as my new primary hunting rifle (a classic Remington M1917 has been demoted to my backup). I got one with an Eotech stock, which makes it quite easy to handle even after 80-100 rounds. My M17 is a shoulder-buster after about 40-50. I'm not an extremely experienced shooter, so I'm probably not as critical as some may be, but I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm taking both rifles out to Colorado this Fall for a deer hunt.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    I recently sold a Tokarev SVT-40 through Gunbroker and had quite a number of obviously fraudulent "buyers" who just wanted to do little more than kick the tires and offer oddball "layaway" deals. At last, someone won my auction: Then claimed to be 17 years old and thought it was legal for him to buy. Er, no. I finally sold it to a guy via a new auction, who, as it turned out, lived just about 3 miles from my own house. Funny.

    Wow — I really love the trigger on my R1, but I've probably been shooting too many milsurp rifles to know any better! My Benelli is the only long gun in my safe that's younger than I am! (40!) I'll have to work up to having such discriminating tastes.
