Tucker,

I thought about my post, you probably already knew that.

Default 1 more time
once again the r1 failed me in the middle of an elk hunt. I had striped it and cleaned it very good before going out and it shot great 6 times then locked up again. It would shoot, eject, then the slide wouldn't go all the way back in. If I pulled the lever back and let it go it worked, but in the heat of hunting you are ejecting 1 live round per clip. I took the gun apart when I came home and it wasn't very dirty either so now I am really scratching my head. I e-mailed Benelli customer service 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a word from them.

Thanks much for this information. Now I don't feel silly because I strip my R1 down to this level regularly.

that is so weird that there are so many reports of this gun failing. i hunt in canada where the conditions can get pretty ugly and it has never failed on me yet.

Thank You okabenellir1 for the encouraging words... I have invested much into this rifle and feel sick every time I read a post debasing this rifle. I haven't even got to shoot it yet, so I lack my own experiences.

Tucker, you said that you sold your R1, did you feel guilty selling it to someone? I'd like to sell mine, but I'd feel guilty putting it on someone else. I e-mailed Benelli one time and ask them if they'd buy it back and I didn't get an answer.

I just want to make it clear that I really enjoy hunting with my R-1. Once I learned how to properly care for it, it has always fired when I pull the trigger. I spent 47 days in the field with it this year in some of the worst weather I have ever tried to hunt in. This is a buck I took with it on Kodiak Island, Alaska, we had near freezing rain and were operating from a salt water based boat. I just clean it after each hunt, takes only minutes and I have never had a problem with it loosing its zero. Always dead on after reassembly.


Steve

Steve,

I haven't had my R1 nearly as long as you, but that has been my experience as well for the 200+ rounds that I've put through mine: Flawless autoloading operation, returns to zero every time, excellent accuracy.
