  1. Is anyone else out there left handed and interested in the R1? I have been researching rifles for a while now and love the ideal of the recoil assorption of the R1. I have shot my father's bolt action rifles for years and never liked the recoil of the high caliber brass and the ideal of the R1 seems to eliminate that. I don't understand what it would take to get Benneli to come out with a left handed model since the safety being mounted on the trigger guard makes the right handed model very inconvienent for left handed people. You have to reach all the way underneith the trigger guard to unlock the safety. I can't imagine that it would be too hard to make the safety universal or make a left handed action like they have in the Super Black Eagle II. That is the first shotgun I have ever bought and I love it; its blisterd many dove, ducks, and pheasants for me without failure. I just wish that Benelli would introduce this gun for left handed shooters. I don't beleive in the traditional beliefs of older generation hunters and bolt-action rifles are superior to any semi-automatic rifle becuase of their accuracy. Until the R1 the only option for a semi-automatic rifle was a Browning BAR which frequenty shoots 3 inch groups and a 100 yards. This would back up that traditional hunting beliefs for long shots, however the reporst of 1 inch groups or less at a 100 yards of the Benelli R1 forms a new theory of the superiority of Semi-Automatic Rifles over their counterparts due to comparable accuracy, superior rate of fire, and superior handling/recoil. The recoil reduction alone allows for more nockdown power at longer ranges. My father bought a custom .300 winchester magnum 700 Remington with Kevlar stock which I started shooting at a young age. This gun almost took my shoulder off when I would shoot it and I missed over a dozen shots because I flinched. You can see that the military also agrees with this theory due to their deployment of the semi-automatic .50 caliber Barrett rifles. I believe that the R1 toped with the new Laser rangefinder auto-adjusting scopes would be the ultimate big game setup.
