Rifles Descriptions

Benelli R1 Big Game

Known for its reliability, the Benelli R1 Big Game Semi Auto Rifles are great for hunting and target shooting. 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.

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
