Design and Reliability

The R1 Endurance uses Benelli’s A.R.G.O. (Auto Regulating Gas Operated) gas piston action — a short-stroke system proven in the company’s M4 shotgun lineage and field-proven in military use by the United States Marine Corps. The rifle’s piston rod benefits from Benelli’s BE.S.T. finish, improving resistance to fouling and corrosion for extended reliability between maintenance cycles.

Chassis and Ergonomics

This model pairs a classic walnut stock and forearm with modern interface points. A Picatinny rail on the receiver allows rapid optic mounting and keeps zero retention straightforward under field or defensive conditions. The 22-inch barrel balances maneuverability with velocity for the chambering chosen.

Ballistics and Practical Use

Chambered in .308 Winchester, the BENELLI R1 ENDURANCE offers versatile performance for medium-to-large game hunting and defensive long-range engagements. The .308 provides a wide selection of reliable factory loads, respectable knockdown energy out to practical ranges, and common availability — important for training and readiness.

The rifle ships with a 5-round magazine, aligning with many state hunting regulations while offering sufficient capacity for controlled defensive shots. With a 22-inch barrel the platform preserves muzzle velocity for flatter trajectories compared with shorter barrels, making follow-up shots and first-round hits more consistent.
