Beretta BRX1 Coming to USA | Straight Pull Rifle Range Review

[@Sam7x57]

Being left handed I really appreciate the ambi-options.

[@leewafer6583]

Savage Impulse straight pull is ambidextrous as well, easy swap the handle from right to left.

[@jamiemui5186]

Finally a lefty friendly a hunting rifle without having to specially order.

[@susanrusie1359]

This looks like it would be a fun one to shoot. What I love about it is it works for both left and right handed shooters and the versatility you have when you are loading the magazine. Thanks for sharing.

[@gambanteinodal1246]

Here in Sweden we can have 6 rifles for hunting. I have a straight pull modular rifle - Blaser R8 .308win with a Zeiss Victory V8 1.1-8x30 scope. It is like a Swiss Army knife - I put everything from Hornady VMAX 110gr to Norma Oryx 180gr in it and it shoots very accurate. I love it!

[@giacomodalmonte318]

Blaser R8s are amazing guns, very versatile, very modular, great factory and aftermarket support. If only they were not that expensive and the DBM model was not that ugly I would go for one of them. Not being Scrooge Mc Duck I went for the Beretta. Is it that nice? No, but I can have a .308 straight pull with a nice DBM and barrel changing capability for less than a third the price of the Blaser. And it can shoot sub MOA all day long.

[@gambanteinodal1246]

@@giacomodalmonte318 Very nice! I think modular straight pulls are very versatile and possibly the future of hunting. I say possibly because here it is now legal to buy an AR15 or AR10 type weapon to hunt with. I would be ashamed to come to a hunt with one of those but times change...

[@giacomodalmonte318]

@@gambanteinodal1246 In Italy I would probably be laughed at if I showed up to a boar hunt without a semiauto. I must say that most semiauto hunting rifles are an absolute eyesore though and so the ar would be the way to go for me if I did that kind of hunting because it works great and doesn't look as bad as the Benelli Argo. I wish for the comeback of something like the old HK hunting rifles. That's the way of making a hunting semiauto gun.

[@HarroN-f7g]

From Holland, Europe. Yes i have a BRX-1 and have Sako power blade .308 ammunition. With the Noblex-scoope i make grups under a Inch at 300 yards. Good gun for a fair price.

[@BugsyNY]

That's a very impressive rifle, got to love Italian craftsmanship.

[@jpb1231000]

BERETTA ... I am so glad I took a chance and spent that extra $100 for a Beretta Pistol... 92XRDO... GLOCK CZ BLAH BLAH... They're GREAT!!! Beretta just does things DIFFERENT!!! Kinda like the Czechs did but since 1560 or so.... Beretta just ROCKS!!! Hope they will come out with a "SCOUT " version in 308....

[@andershilmo1866]

Nice been looking at the 92xi or qualtra. If not the Langdon tactical 92. I have cz and walters, sigs.

[@georgeaura]

I think for right handed it would be great for the handle to be on the left so your shooting hand is always on the grip and trigger and your left hand is quickly manipulating the bolt. At least on a bench rest setup.

[@johanandersson9711]

Very nice video, but how could you miss out on the BRX1 feature of changing from right hand to left hand shooting? That is REALLY incredible.

[@walterdl2904]

Good job presenting. Thanks for keeping it simple and understandable.

[@davidcoleman4941]

Best real life review I've ever seen, Dave Australia

[@AllThingsLoud_]

I’m loving the idea of this rifle. It looks to be truly ambidextrous. Being able to operate the bolt on either side, and the straight pull lets you be able to load rounds from either side is cool. The orange on the mag is a great touch from finding it if dropped as you said as well as the gap at the bottom being an easy identifier showing the mag is still inserted, the caliber change option is nice in theory but i worry of it after the whole cz 600 ordeal. I would like to know the barrel profile as well as how the safety is. Does it have a 3 position that locks the bolt? Maybe I missed you saying it. Lastly to not have a threaded barrel on any modern rifle should be a crime

[@neutronalchemist3241]

It has a three position safety. One position locks the bolt.

[@johntandy8918]

It has a M14 threaded barrel with a cover for a 16 mm profile according to their website

[@hatchetwound666]

What happened with the CZ 600?

[@kennethbeavers3706]

Have a Blaser R8 but will definitely purchase the BRX 1

[@texasN1836]

I saw a straight pull on a video once that had like a spring in it that you just pull back and let go. Wish I remembered the name of it

[@tonysambar]

Love that it is totally ambidextrous 👍😊

[@cornbread308]

Good review, thank you!

[@jasonhaga5412]

Interested in how accuracy will hold up with the back of the rail not mounted. I'm shot some slug guns that had a rain mounted to the barrel. The seem to flex a lot. How does the action stay locked if you can just pull back and it comes open? Seems like you could knock the action open walking in the woods.

[@alfaalex101]

I think Beretta has a 3 shot sub MOA guranatee

[@Ridgerunner6.5]

I would try it, a barrel break-in, decent ammo, could be a winner.

[@alprimi]

Cool rifle Love KY..please don’t change

[@kevinbrantley2872]

It would be interesting to see how the bolt locks up

[@joec9443]

AR style rotating 8 lugs for standard calibers. 16 lugs for magnum calibers.

[@LilYeshua]

@@joec9443 I'm interested in the bolt locking/unlocking mechanism

[@enayetchowdhury105]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@bigheadred3528]

Cool idea looks big and bulky. One thing I dont like is the one attachment point for the rail and it just hanging over the bolt. If they ever revamp it slim it down id get one

[@WolfBiteTactical]

Good job buddy

[@tacocin]

Thanks Patrick. 👍

[@Back_Lash]

For those who will never splurge on a Blaser R8. Not a criticism, just an observation

I bet Ian tests one of these on Forgotten Weapons, compares it to the Ross RIfle and the Swiss K-31.

[@Grizzly406]

Now this is interesting!

[@chivinhung5711]

you have to use 175 or 168 Gr of 308 that will make group so small

[@ironmikehallowween]

Pretty cool rifle. I wish I needed another one.

[@pepsiccolausa8857]

Savage now makes this type of action with locking ball bearings And you can get it with a proof research barrel

[@RussellARoberts]

The Savage is a copy of the Heym concept.

[@dw5523]

How's the weight and balance? My Savage Impulse sold me on the idea of a straight pull, but their execution leaves something to be desired. If Beretta can make a well balanced rifle that offers quick caliber changes via barrel and bolt assemblies, I'll buy at least two.

[@pepsiccolausa8857]

You can now get the impulse with a carbon fiber proof research barrel and can also opt for a carbon fiber stock

[@dw5523]

​@@pepsiccolausa8857 If Savage isn't executing or supporting their current Impulse lineup well, why would I spend even more money on a new rifle from them? I try to learn from my mistakes, rather than repeating them.

[@robrob7346]

you said 30-06 but don't see that option on beretta's website

[@mlone7]

I like the gun. On your statement about how interested Americans are on being able to have one gun with multiple barrels I think the answer lies on the price of the conversion. Greed in the companies to charge almost as much for the conversion as just buying a new gun will be the deciding factor.

[@pistolgrip44mag]

Looks very intriguing. Too bad it will be out of my price range.

[@thalleshoward3962]

A beautiful rifle

[@phxamigo]

Higher capacity magazines available??? thank you

[@hatchetwound666]

If you watch the tfb video Beretta 3d printed a sleeve to attach a 20 round ar 10 mag to it.

[@BuggieChief]

Interested in a straight pull. The Savage Straight pull is way too heavy. Wonder what the Beretta weighs?

[@bruce6099]

3.3kg with the 57cm barrel. I've got one in 308 with the 22" (57cm) barrel. I've got a burris fullfield 4 3-12 on it. It doesn't feel too heavy, I've only shot it at the range for load development ao far, though.

[@joec9443]

7.1lbs.

[@greatnortoni]

Garbage is a strong word, it’s fast and actuate, maybe you’re not good with firearms. 🥴

[@tnmantn8938]

Of course I like weird calibers…would like to see one with a 20” barrel in 400 Legend…that would make a dandy woods whitetail rifle…I have a .308 Savage Impulse…it is a bit heavy and stiff to operate…

[@FormerMPSGT]

WHATS the BIG HUMP ON THE BACK of the BOLT?

[@Eric.schmidt]

Is that picatinny rail just floating over the action? The straight pull intrigues me but I’m not to sure about the rail holding zero if it just hovers out in space out the rear

[@DV-cm3tb]

There is a big chunk of steel attached to the barrel that the pic rail is screwed to.

[@bruce6099]

I tested mine a few weeks ago for return to zero after removing then replacing the barrel. It returns to a 1/4" of previous zero, fine for a hunting rifle.

[@dan_taninecz_geopol]

Nice gun. Nice puffy jacket. If you know you know.

[@94twentytwo76]

Excellent video 💯 totally see how one may bump their nose 😬😂‼️🍻

[@ckiefner715]

For me it would be hard to trust the bolt would not release into my face.

[@rotasaustralis]

As long as the bolt is fully engaged, it can never turn out of battery during the firing event. Quite the opposite. The pressure during the firing event locks the bolt in battery, it's only the the movement of the bolt carrier under recoil which could unlock the bolt causing it to open. By that time, the bullet is out & gone & hit the target &, the pressure has dropped to zero in the chamber. I think the way Beretta has locked the bolt carrier when firing is quite ingenious as this system greatly reduces the complexity of the locking system. Although this guy doesn't seem to know that the BRX1 doesn't lock into position at all prior to firing. As has been shown in one video, the bolt can be pulled out of battery without the use of the bolt handle which does not have any mechanism inside the bolt carrier to lock the bolt or the carrier in position. The bolt carrier only locks when the trigger is pulled & a small spring loaded leaver is activated under spring tension behind the carrier & only keeps the carrier from moving rearward under recoil. At any other time, the carrier is free to move accept under certain conditions; eg, when fired or when dropped & this is achieved by a small pendulum leaver mounted in the left side of the stock where the trigger pack housing fits into the stock. It's an ingenious system really whereby Beretta have understood the true physics of what is necessary.

Attn: Owner/Management. I have purchased product 4 times and each time I tell myself I won't go back. Each time, it is just as miserable of an experience as it was the first time. It keeps getting worse. The problem is the employees are so rude, condescending, not friendly at all. If you ever wonder why your sales are dropping, it is due to your employees running your customers off. Next gun purchase will be somewhere else, even if I have to drive further and pay more.
