The Benelli R1 chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum is a gas-operated, semi-automatic hunting rifle designed for reliable performance and reduced felt recoil. This model features a 24-inch barrel, which helps maximize the cartridge's velocity and long-range performance, and a 3-round detachable magazine, making it well suited for big-game hunting where magazine capacity may be limited by hunting regulations. Weighing approximately 7 to 7.5 pounds, the R1 is available with a synthetic stock and is drilled and tapped to accommodate a variety of optics, rail installed. Its combination of fast follow-up shots, dependable operation, and powerful .300 Winchester Magnum chambering makes it a popular choice for hunters pursuing elk, moose, bear, and other large game.
