Benelli’s R1 big game rifle recently got bigger. The R1 is now available in .338 Winchester Magnum, considered one of the most respected North American big game cartridges that’s suitable for hunting large game like brown bear, moose and elk and Africa’s largest plains game.
The Benelli R1 with ComforTech® is currently available in .30-06, .300 Win. Mag., and the latest addition—the .338 Winchester Magnum. No rifle in the world that allows you to get back on target faster than the R1 with ComforTech®—just the ticket for hunting game anywhere in the world.
Pairing R1’s ComforTech® recoil dampening stock with Benelli’s ultra-reliable A.R.G.O. piston-driven system really takes the sting out of recoil. Imagine a .300 Winchester Magnum that feels like you’re shooting a light .270 and you’ll understand what this hunting rifle from Benelli is all about. To put it more graphically, other high-powered hunting rifles kick about twice as hard.

Standard Features
R1 A.R.G.O. System
The reliability of the R1’s Auto Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O.) system has been proven in the M1014 military shotgun and has been adapted for centerfire rifle cartridges with a three-lugged rotary bolt. The rifle’s gas cylinder is positioned just in front of the chamber allowing for short operating rods and reduced recoiling mass.
Drilled & Tapped Receiver with Picatinny Rail
All R1 receivers are drilled and tapped for scope mounting and come equipped with a Picatinny rail.
Quick-Detachable Magazine
Quick-detachable magazine holds three to four rounds, depending on caliber.
R1 Rotary Bolt
Chamber pressure is contained by the massive, three-lug rotary locking head, which locks into the steel barrel extension.
ComforTech® Gel Recoil Pad and Comb Insert
ComforTech® guns come standard with the 14-3/8" L.O.P. Gel Recoil Pad, and the Standard Gel Comb Insert.

ComforTech® Shim Kit
You can customize the models with the ComforTech® buttstock to your personal requirements using a shim kit that adjusts both drop and cast. Also fits newer Montefeltro and Legacy models.

Crio® Barrels
Usually only found on custom-made rifles the R1's barrel is cryogenically frozen to -300° F which changes the steel at the molecular level. The result, better barrel harmonics providing superior accuracy.

ComforTech® System
You can’t repeal the laws of physics, but sometimes you can fool Mother Nature. Benelli reached outside the firearms industry to materials scientists, computer specialists and design engineers to take a fresh look at recoil and how to tame it. »More Info
Crio® System
Cryogenic physics has revealed that strange things happen when matter is taken to temperatures of -300° F; gases become liquids and solids, ceramics become conductors of electricity and steel is changed at the molecular level. »More Info
AirTouch™
The AirTouch checkering pattern takes advantage of the molding characteristics of the polymer used in Benelli stocks and forends to create a surface that gives a superior grip—both wet or dry—without being overly rough to the ungloved hand. »More Info
GripTight®
GripTight is a high-tech texturing material on both the stock and forend of certain Benelli models. This synthetic over-coating feels almost tacky to the touch—so consequently, gives a sure grip, wet or dry, with bare hands or even gloves. »More Info
Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (A.R.G.O.)
The Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (A.R.G.O.) is standard equipment on the MR1 self defense rifle, the R1 Rifle, and the M4 Tactical shotgun. »More Info
