tucker301 Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I've been using an MTM guide designed for bolt action rifles. This can be used only if the barrell/receiver assembly has been removed. BTW, if you research earlier posts, you'll find some helpful tips on cleaning and tweaking this rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phenom101 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) I'm glad You liked our posts . We all know that every new line of rifles on the market is bound to have some minor glitches , especially something so complicated as an autoloader. Nowadays , with proper reload ( 1/2" or less @ 100yds ) my rifle does sub-Moa groups up to 300yds away ( haven't tried any further ) , with that said - factory ammo performance is great also, I must try out some more loads tho . Every semi-auto requires more care, no matter what brand. I had a "mispleasure" of cleaning a Brownings B.A.R . It took couple of wrenches and screwdriver to make this possible , not to mention 2 hours to make the job complete. I do love BARs, but when it comes to cleaning - it's no contest with Benelli R1. Those tweaks mentioned in previous posts should help cut down on cleaning time and prolly make your rifle more accurate. So far i haven't come up with anything new ... hmmm guess it's time to purchase a new rifle ?? lol Good Times~! ________ Zx14 Vs Hayabusa Edited April 7, 2011 by phenom101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyacres Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I have 81 rounds thru my R1 30.06. i have not taken it apart to clean it yet, but would take it apart so I could just hold the barrel assembly and clean from breach to muzzle. (as tucker states). I have no XP using a bore guide. At the range, I was using a 30 caliber bore snake every ten rounds on average, also from breach to muzzle. Did not have to dissassemble to use the snake. Those snakes really are God's gift to shooters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkuhl01 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I strongly recoment using coper remover when cleaning. I cleaned my r1 for the first time the other day after 40 rounds. I can not tell you how many masses it took to get all the fouling out. The 2 other rifles I cleaned at the same time (300 rem ultra mag and 7mm stw ) had many more rounds through them and not near the copper buildup.
