How do you post photos on this site?

It was more like the Hand of God came down and said "This is your day!". I walked into the gun store and they had a Benelli R1 in .308 w/wood stocks the price was $635.00!

I have the .308 caliber R1 upgraded with the Comfortech stocks.It is the best shooting rifle I have used in a while.It feels like a BAR ,but without the super loud BOSS system. The kick is minimal and it preforms well with all of the four types of ammo I have fired.

I have received my 10 rd. magazines from Numrich Gunparts www.e-GunParts.com or 866-NUMRICH. They came packaged in shrinkwrap from Benelli. They are perfect!

Thanks!

I recently purchased a Benelli R1 in .308 for 653.00.I have upgraded to a Comfortech stocks and a Leupold VXL 4.5-14X50mm. I love this rifle! I did notice that the accuracy is affected by the "barrel cap" greatly. However, the results are very pleasing! I found the rifle to be capable of sub 1" groups. I even put a hole through a quarter at 100yds. ! I couldn't be more pleased with this product. However,I would like to hear about any different ways to keep the cap from coming loose during fire.
