vikz Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hello peeps! here is my brand spanking new Benelli MR1!! just for additional "cool factor" i got a lower serial 0005XXX yah baby! I always want to try new designs and this one just look great!! Quote
vikz Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 hello peeps! I had the chance to try my MR1 today and man this thing is amazing!!I tried to do some 5shot grouping and this is the best group i got at 100yds using 55gr remington factory load. Its kinda hard to explain but i can barely feel the recoil its absolutely amazing..it was kinda funny when i took this video everybody got quite and just kinda waited until i was done with my mag...I did have a couple of FTE's that i think is magazine or ammo related..Anyway here is the video and it was a blast yah the barrel got really hot after i took this video..

tucker301 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I'd be very interested in seeing how much fouling you have on the gas piston when you tear it down for cleaning. Quote
stid2677 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Great report, looks like a fine firearm. I too would be interested in seeing some break down photos of the gas system. Steve Quote
reblyell Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Congrats on your purchase! I plan on purchasing one within a month, therefore I am really interested in hearing more about the 'failure to eject' situations you experienced. Most impressive grouping as well! Can I assume this was done with the scope, and not the factory sights? Best! Edited January 31, 2010 by reblyell Quote
cody6.0 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'd be very interested in seeing how much fouling you have on the gas piston when you tear it down for cleaning. The piston wipes clean with a rag but the guide rod usually gets a clump of carbon on it. Quote
ArtL Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I will get a chance to see this rifle in a few days and I have a feeling it is going to speak to me, and you know what that means....... I guess I will have to see the cost and how much money is in the old back pocket. I just got the wife a M2 20 gauge so that took a pretty good hit on me.... Quote
Guest MarkFillipos Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Both are great, but I find fit is quite different between Beretta and Benelli. If you can find your way to shoulder both and choose from there I dont think that you can go wrong. One factor is recoil reduction - there is argueably less recoil in the gas-operated Urika especially if fitted with Kick-Off than the SBE although the new Comfort-Tech stock helps a lot. These features are, of course, only available in synthetic stocks though. Happy shopping-Croc Quote
