cody6.0 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Does anyone know if the MR1 will be available in a 7.62 NATO or .308??? I think it's fair to say that there will never be a larger caliber MR1. It lived as the failure known as a Beretta RX4 for years before being branded a Benelli and there is no Rx4 in that caliber. To be 100% honest after owning/shooting several MR1's I don't see a .308 doing well. When the .223 gets hot enough to brand a steer I can't imagine a .308.

reblyell Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Cody 6.0 is on the mark. However, a 6.8 SPC variant would be cool, and possibly feasible! In reality, I doubt that we'll see any big breakthroughs with the MR1 rifle since it's following appears to be fairly weak. Perhaps I'm mistaken though . . .

LeoAtrox Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Isn't the MR1/Rx4 Storm similar to the Benelli R1 (similar controls and ARGO operation)? I think there are more similiarities between the two rifles than just the name. While there are certainly differences (detachable magazine versus fixed magazine immediately comes to mind) I think they could rightfully be considered from the same "family" of rifles.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket shroud ? I happen to like my MR1 in .223 as is. If you want larger calibers, go with a standard AR frame ... but non-Benelli I do wish I could fit a telescoping stock on it. I've seen pictures, but I can't get an answer on where to get one. It doesn't look like the M4 stock, but if that would work, I'd probably give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the fittings are different though, so I'm not sure you'd be able to install one easily even if you had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
