Wow! What a gun. I haven't made my shotgun purchase yet, but I keep drooling over the Benelli line of shotguns...

Re: Benelli MR1
 

I love the look of that.

looks cool....wouldn't pay $1300 for it though.

Friend of mine just picked up the M4. Nice gun! Actually traded a M1 plus some cash for it.

Benelli makes great shotguns, but their rifles leave a lot to be desired.

If you're wanting an uber reliable mouse caliber gun other than an AK, then I suggest the Sig 556.

I ask this sincerely:

What are the advantages of a Benelli over, say, a Remington semi-auto, or even a pump? (I understand the pump needs to be racked each time, of course!)

Re: Benelli MR1
 

Just as a side note, the MR1 is a 5.56/.223 rifle and not a shotgun.

Duh, thanks! Real Money Now = :confused_ma:

Re: Benelli MR1
 

I hope I didn't ruin this thread by posting the MSRP.

I was to understand that the Beretta Storm can fire S&W .40. I don't see how this is a "civilian replacement" if it's shooting rifle caliburs? Not that I'm complaining, only noting that it does not translate.

Good eye, I accidentally posted the beretta-cx4-px4-storm-03 chambered in a hand-gun round.
