DANG! I DID miss a phun evening...

Hello all of you on this tread,

Maybe i will be bashed, put on ignore or call a troll, does'nt matter, but want just to tell one thing: the Benelli was not conceived as a military battle rifle and will never be. The italian army choosed the new Beretta ARX160 but don't have the budget to field it on large scale now.

The MR1 use is only for sporstmen, shooters and for some police departments where full auto are stricly reserved to swat team look alike. It can be also used by prison guards. Sometimes such people need more firepower and accurate fire than the one delivered by shotguns or pistols.
It's also made for shooters in countries were it's difficult to get AR system firearms. I think (not only me) that it could be look at as a more powerful and more expensive modern M1 carbine. Even if it's difficult to be trust, for you Americans, we have in France loyal and not so ridiculous groups of target shooters who use AK, AR, VZ, FAL, H&K, Beretta, Sigs, MI, Galil, Steyr and other old models of military semi autos to punch target and slam steel gongs. Generally they are "gun nuts" and i already knows some who make appliance for a licence to buy the new MR1 to play with. It will not be allowed in military isued firearm competitions (TAR we call them)but surely will be a good plinker. Number of gunsmiths has ordered some and believe me here it's more expensive than in the US.
Even if i don't like the ARGO system it works. I'll stay with my Sig and Steyr even if i'm a bit partial to an AR10 or SR25.

Sorry if i was a bit long and bothered you.

your thoughtful post could not be a bother in any way Marseille.

We don't get a lot of discussion about what kinds of firearms you folks in Europe get to play with. Thanks for the insight.

Very good post Marseille. Most of the vitriol is directed at an abrasive poster.

Many thanks elkhunter and Mannlicher (i'm a great fan of stag/elk and mannlicher rifles too)

Wow, what a contentious forum. It reads like a bunch of Irish Catholics & Protestants arguing.
Anyhoo, I have an MR1 and it's a beauty. It's the Nth American version of the beretta rx4 storm. In other words, it's a police carbine, and a very fine one at that. I've put about 800 rounds thru it w/ zero issues...and it doesn't get gunked up. Handles like a Ferrari. I was drawn to the mr1 b/c reliability rep and my love of benelli and mossberg semi auto shotguns.
BTW, I have nothing against AR15 gas guns, but it is pretty clear that gas piston is regarded by militaries the world over as superior, ie/ not a mere marketing gimmick (see HK G36, Tavor, beretta arx160, FN SCAR, Robarm xcr, Vector cr21, etc) Plus, having used them myself, I can say that direct gas guns are duuuurty and a drag to clean. But whatev, everyone has their own preferences. Chacun a son gout, as the French say...

TOO FUNNY this must be Oldturd 1492 in disguise who else would drag this thread back up from 2010


Yep I bet the MR1 is right up there with your fave Mooseberg semi auto shotgun in reliability.

There are other forums out there where they are not as contentious, so if your a twinkie head on over to the Optics Forum on SWFA or GON.

edited to add "bless your heart"

so what is the point of dredging up a stupid two year old thread?

and his very first post!

Another iteration of Larry the Bosslady aka oldman1942..... quiet for a few days then off his meds again.

No words much to say otehr than what an idiot

LOL! Awesome! Mission accomplished. I knew I could get some polarized, snotty remarks going from you d-bags. I came across you semi-literate crackers by chance thru google. You really hate this oldman guy, huh? Mainly b/c he holds differing opinions I presume...and we know that ain't allowed in Umerica.

...like trolling for fish. Seriously, your collective motto should be: "Easy on the smart"

Anyway, thanks for the laughs, and enjoy the [bleep] economy of an empire in decline.

Sure you did.....Larry you need help...whatsa matter you you get banned under your other handle? You are really a dumbass.

EH76 and the troll gang at it again. Casting around trying in their foolish way to assume every new member is the phantom "Larry" that lives under their beds and has them pizzing their jammies. EH has never owned an MR 1 never shot one, doesn't know sheit about the Benelli OS (and no it's not adapted from a shotgun but from the R 1 sporting rifle.)

You are on target Bravo2zero, cross them and they'll whine and whine to get you banned. It has happened to dozens of good members who have moved on to adult sites. We have them whupped and they are going whacko because they no longer control the site.

Wait till next spring when we hit one the champion trolls from maybe 20 of our club's members user i.d. list on why he is chickening out on the $10,000 bet.

They wouldn't know how to be "easy on the smart" as that requires the ability to understand that someone else may just be smarter, have more experience and knowledge than you do.

Look at all their posts.....always the same attack dog line, but now they are like a blind man trying to shoot a round of sporting clays.

The MR-1 has one problem IMO, too much stock drop for optics. Otherwise a fine rifle as are all Benellis.... ask the USMC !



These dolts couldn't even buy the scope that's on the Remington below nor have a clue what scope is on the MR-1.

An R-1 with a scope that cost as much as the rifle. Now why would you "do dat" when WalMart has a special on Tascos ?



LOFAO !

Ahhh goody the troll is switching back and forth on usernames..... dude you are a bit queer.......

Firearms? I don't have any of those evil things.

Nice webfu there Larry. I see you deleted those same images from your olddouche1942 post above...aren't you a clever little fella

Sad thing is the only person you are fooling is yourself...you certainly don't fool anyone else..why don't you just use the handle "Larry the Liar" at least you would be honest about one thing.

multiple personalities meets the internet....

Same old lines, different handle, same lunitic.

The problem here is that someone is actually enough of a perverted azzhole to ENJOY what crap he stirs....

proof positive that some turds float.

@interthem

Ya, the strangest group of bullies I've ever seen on a board. And they really think I'm this oldman poster too. So weird. FYI, if you're an American, I apologize to you (but not to the jerks) for my latter comments. I was just trying to bait the bullies. I'm Canadian, and I assure I have nothing against my "southern cousins" per se. In fact, my grandfather was in the RAF during WW2 and was captured by the Japanese (after being tricked out of their weapons by the Dutch on Java). Toward the end, guess who flew missions over their camp to drop supplies: the good old US Air Force. So, my family has always had a soft-spot for "the Yanks".

Anyway, I agree w/ you re: the comb rise. I have the adjustable stock and it's a bit better if you can deal w/ a shorter LOP. Otherwise, it's great. Oh, but I envy your "short" barrel. We can only get them w/ 20" barrels up north.

I'm really impressed w/ the ARGO system. The Mossberg semi-auto shotguns have what looks to be a bit of a copy of the Benelli system, and my 930 is super-reliable, even w/ cheapo sporting clay shells.

Cheers.

if the board has so many bullies you are more than welcome to vacate.
