I have an R1 and wish that I had bought a bolt. If you are concerned about accuracy buy a bolt. One thing about R1s is after you tear it down make sure that you tighten the spring down all of the way till it stops. That way the zero will be the same.

Does anybody know if the sticky thing happens with Benelli shotguns?

Tucker, you said that you sold your R1, did you feel guilty selling it to someone? I'd like to sell mine, but I'd feel guilty putting it on someone else. I e-mailed Benelli one time and ask them if they'd buy it back and I didn't get an answer. Al

I have a R1 300 WSM, after cleaning, the zero changes. Last year I zeroed in at home, then cleaned my rifle, got to Utah, shot at a target 100 yards away, I was six inches low. I made the adjustment, blew the X out of the target. I didn't clean it again till I got home. Got a 5 X 5 bull though. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy it. Al Carlson

Real nice Dall Sheep . Al

Steve, the bore scope sounds like a great tool, I've never used one. I like you clean my weapon like a maniac. Al

Steve, I didn't see where it said how many yards you were shooting. Al

Steve, pretty good shot groups for 200yards! Is the easy trigger easy to install? Al

Well, I wouldn't put out the money, extra scope involved with that. If you want, try Brownell's, here's the link http://www.brownells.com/Default.aspx Al

When I was sighting in, I used cheap Federal Hyshok 180 grain. When I confirmed I was close, I used Winchester Elite XP3 180gr. , because that is what I use on elk. My problem is keeping it sighted in. Another forum member said," it may because during reassembling maybe I didn't tighten the gas cylinder all the way." ( I'll have to experiment ) After shooting all year with it, I cleaned it real good before going elk hunting. When I got to my destination, I shot it to double check, at 100 yards, it shot 6" low. I made the correction on the scope and blew the X out of the target at 100 yards. Next day shot a 5 X 5 bull at a little over 100. An other member posted the picture for me on the What Have You Shot with Your R1 thread. Al

I have a R1 300WSM, I've had no problems as far the action getting fowled. I've shot a lot of rounds through it. Al

I bet that the first time when it shot 12" low at twenty five yards, the mount supplied was on backwards. There is a front and back. It happened to me. I paid the dealer to mount the scope and they put the mount on backwards. I went to the range and had the same problem. I remounted it myself and it worked fine. From now on, I'm always doing my own mounting. Al

Steve, thanks for posting, really nice. Al
