scandium_wheelgunner Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I want to see the R1 ARGO rifle in .300 Remington Ultra mag - I hate belted magnums, and also the .300 WSM is too fat to stck vertically in a mag. Also it would be relatively easy to make a snap-in magazine adapter that accepts existing hi-capacity magazines, possibly original military BARs.

phenom101 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) I'd love to see barrels in 25-06 and 270 calibers . Right now i'm working on loads with application of those plastic sabots which hold .223 cal bullet in 30-06 case . I'm down to 1.20 " groups , but i rather have a spare barrel made for 25-06 . Maybe We all should take a trip to Benelli's office and poke some people with a stick , a lil nudge or just plain ol' case of beer would do the trick ? ....Anything to make 'em come up with new calibers . ________ JAGUAR R3 HISTORY Edited April 7, 2011 by phenom101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 and also the .300 WSM is too fat to stck vertically in a mag. Browning seems to have it figured out. Maybe Benelli should try to hire their engineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Benelli should try to hire their engineers. [/QB] ... Well short magnums are too fat to stack vertically in a mag efficiently. but it can be done of course http://www.armalite.com/sales/ultramag.htm But the loss of capacity is serious. If you are going to stack ammo horizantally in a tube mag it needs to be short and fat (and blunt), and If you are going to stack ammo vertically in a box mag it needs to be long and skinny(sharp is OK). Also the Benelli R1 action is long enough for a long magnum rounds anyways (including .300 Rem Ultra-mag), so to chamber it for short mags you are squeezing your ammo proportions in the wrong directions unnecessarily, and sacrificing existing action length.

Sacandium: Well if you like 25-06 that's it, but it if far less than the rifle can handle. Why not push the envelope, with say the .257 Weatherby? Personally, I have a SAR48 in .308 and I love it The only reason I am considering a sporter is to get magnum performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenom101 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) I need 25-06 to hunt varmints and game no bigger than roebuck . Given the fact that i never hunt from a tree stand and i track the game instead of waiting for it , most of my shots are taken at ranges not exceding 150m. usually less than 80m. . I have no application for any magnum on such close range . As You can see , 257Weatherby is just too much for such short range , word overkill comes to mind. I'm sure it will work fine for you , Alaska has lotsa open terrain where magnum is a "must-have" . For me 25-06 is sufficient , and with very accurate reload , 300m shot at roebuck will take him down no matter what . ________ Oregon Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Edited April 7, 2011 by phenom101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
