Bought an R1 four years ago and like the gun. The main reason for buying it was the fully adjustable synthetic comfortech stock which no other manufacturer offered at that time with a semi auto. Its a nice stock.

There are some big differences between the Semprio and the R1.
-Semprio has a cocking device. Walk with a round in the chamber and cock it with no sound.
- Take down . Pull the Semprio apart and switch barrel in 5 sec or put it in your Eberlestock and make it diseappear in 10 sec.
-Nice UAS trigger and supreme accuracy.

These are nice to have features but my main reason for getting the Semprio was the silencer. The R1 will not work with a silencer but the Semprio will.

So I just bought a Semprio in 30.06 and will still keep my R1 in 308W.

The R1 is nice for a semi auto but its not to be compared with the semprio in my opinion.
