Browning designs..a hint of R-1 ?

Looks as if the engineers and designers were at work over at Browning with a few Benelli items on their minds...

That cynergy recoil pad is an obvious one but, I like it. Cool looking gun.
the long and short track are a heck of a lot like the R-1 tappered fore stock, shorter reciever, and the gun flows into the muzzle just like the R-1
I have an R-1 and those new Browning rifles look a lot like it. At least when you compare to what the BAR used to be.
