The Benelli R1 Endurance is a fast-handling semi-automatic hunting rifle built around Benelli’s auto-regulating gas-operated system, adapted from the M4 military shotgun. Its three-lug rotary bolt and short operating rod provide reliable cycling with reduced felt recoil. The 22-inch free-floating, cryogenically treated barrel is paired with a sturdy steel upper receiver for consistent accuracy and secure optic mounting, while the anodized aluminum lower receiver helps keep the rifle’s weight to 7.3 pounds. A black synthetic stock, 5+1 capacity, 44-inch overall length, and included shim kit for drop and cast adjustment make it a practical configuration for hunting use.
