Beretta "BRX1" Straight Pull .308Win Rifle (accuracy testing @ 100 yards)

[@richardcolligon4277]

This just popped up here on the East coast of the USA and I have to get up early tomorrow, but I'll watch it tomorrow. I love your review's and Beretta, I bet I'll have to buy a new gun. Thanks a lot, oh wait that's a good thing! Ruger Rich

[@lurking0death]

A review that made sense! Thank you for that, it's rare these days. Round feed and magazine operation are so important in Alaska where you want quick round feed on bears especially. You spoke to that right away and it is appreciated. Trigger pull is so important and you nailed that, too. Well done.

[@JB-mw5rg]

Thanks for speaking out for us left-hand people, all my rifles are right-handed because I could NOT get LH rifle!

[@rifraf7126]

Yep, I learned how to shoot right handed, but left handed still feels more natural for me in the end.

[@americaspistoleeracademypi5156]

In North America, I see this rifle best used for Moose, Bear, and Boars that warrant fast following shots or multiple targets in the hunt of Boars. Which is why this rifle needs to be offered in the .338 Winchester Magnum caliber as well. The Alaskan and Canadian guides and hunters would go wild for it and so would the Boar guides and hunters in the Southern U.S.A. A great product from Beretta and a great video review. Thank You.

[@jfphotography69]

It comes in 300 WM. It's the one I will be ordering soon. Finally, a good bolt action rifle for southpaws.

[@jordanr8312]

I came to see if you could keep your cheek weld when reloading...and you delivered! I've always appreciated your thought out testing methods, especially for real world shooting situations. I looks like this will fit the bill if a rapid follow up shot on big game is necessary. Thanks for the great review.

[@skoog7091]

Great review. One thing to point out. The barrel is in deed changable. But Beretta has yet two years after relase not started to sell them.

[@14goldmedals]

Howdy from Canada 🇨🇦. As a lefty the Savage Impulse got my attention being able to swap the bolt to either side but not the case ejection. This rifle has both and I'm amazed how little the bolt handle moves to lock/unlock the action. Sounds like an excellent adjustable trigger too. Very well done review, I'm a new subscriber.

[@mryaj0095]

Savage impulse feels crappy.. finnaly got a hold of one.... Not impress. Looks smooth. Def not.

[@mryaj0095]

Plus its frontend heavy

[@14goldmedals]

mrYaj00 thanks for posting that. Saves me time not looking for one.

[@christosdouskos]

Haven't you tried a blaser?

[@14goldmedals]

chris dousman the Blaser series are outta my price range.

[@hunting4sanity365]

Cheers Ozzie always a good video mate love how you always do an honest review and not a sale's pitch keep up the topshelf work my friend take care and give Hank a pat for me lol cheers 🍻👍

[@walterdl2904]

Excellent review as always. The rifle looks very well built and the review shows it functions smoothly. I am looking forward to seeing this gun come to the US. Now, about those batteries!

[@benjones5799]

Nice ... So glad people are bring out more straight pull stuff.

[@bikezrule]

I love your reviews mate you have the best job in Australia

[@glenstaalesen2939]

Would love some more variety in the available calibers. 6,5x55, 9,3x62 and such. Also an adjustable comb for better shootingcomfort. Apart from that this looks like a decent rifle.

[@bwanabizz]

Please review the Benelli Lupo. Keep up the great videos!

[@KaneGregory]

As a lefty I’m loving this thing and I think Beretta is the best and oldest gun company in the world!🤯🔫👍🏼

[@fastmonaro05]

Very nice rifle and good review mate.

[@bestestusername]

Yeah baby, been waiting for this sort of thing to hit Auz, there is a Savage one coming aswell, has a lithgow look about it I reckon

[@v1nxandtomax]

Really nice review 👍🏻 Do you mind to do a comparison with the Italians? Beretta brx1 Vs Benelli Lupo

[@ChuckinTV]

Nice! I'm sure the accuracy will improve after a bit of break in, but still good out of the box. Hopefully Beretta can get these to market sooner rather than later.

[@serverlan763]

I have had mine for 3 months now and blooded it on a nice NT boar yesterday. I bought it literally as a pig hunt for mainly shooting running boars. Mine is a 20" barrel version in .308 fitted with an Aimpoint Red Dot. Pros; Good ergonomics, acceptable trigger, easy scope mounting, I like that you can remove spacers in the butt to get the LOP just right, I like the matt blued metal work, magazine works well, accurate, I like the safety. Cons: Heavy, could do with being up to 1.5lb lighter. Id pay more for one if it had a carbon fibre stock, Bolt is a pain in the ass to remove, would prefer it available with Iron Sights ( batue configuration), Would like to have large capacity mags available and finally its a very ugly rifle, That rounded for-end is hideous. Overall it's still a very decent quality hunting rifle.

[@aussieaxedude154]

Very interesting rifle dude. Never really heard of straight pull bolt actions until a few years ago now they seem to be popping up everywhere looking forward to getting my hands on one. Cool video.

[@tun0fun]

They've been around for over 100 years, I dunno why they've just begun to get popular the the last few.

[@neutronalchemist3241]

They had been quite popular, with several models made, until WWI. Unfortunately the combination of heavy usage and trench warfare took its toll on the inherently weaker extraction of straight pulls. Only the Mannlicher 1895 didn't seem to have problems in that situation. That demonstrated that a robust and reliable military straight pull could be done, but Austria lost the war and was basically canceled from the map, so the Mannlicher action became only a curiosity and, in WWII , all the residual bolt actions used were manually rotating bolts and, with the end of the war, it had became an identity. Bolt action = manually rotating bolts.

[@wildoutdoors5818]

Range testing starts at 7:45

[@regsparkes6507]

I do like those 'upper scale' synthetic stocks on rifles in this class. I could get to really like the straight pull bolt. The only experience I have with a straight pull bolt so far, is on my Swiss K31. Nice looking rifle Ozzie, thanks for this.

[@pearman2246]

id choose a K31 over this any day ;) beautiful rifle!

[@regsparkes6507]

@@pearman2246 Yes it is Pear Man ( in my opinion at least ) all original and does shoot rather well too and is as accurate as I can be.

[@frostedbutts4340]

@@pearman2246 I swear K31s were $600 last time I looked... now they're $3k wew. Time flies.

[@MrLoridin]

So how do you compare it to the Browning "Maral" 308WIN Rifle mate?

[@matty8944]

Great to finally see a straight pull rifle that probably won't be banned based on appearance.

[@wereallwrong9149]

I'd love to have one with adjustable iron sights. Scopes are cool, it would be a nice option.

[@jfphotography69]

They do make one I believe.

[@MrSchnyderli]

Great review! Interesting and similar to the Blaser R8, especially the interchangeable barrels/calibers. Hope there will be aftermarket stocks/chassis like KRGs or MDTs. Looks pretty ugly with that synthetic stock.

[@yulusleonard985]

More like mauser 96 / roesler titan 16

[@Picasofly]

I doesn't have the blazer accuracy but it doesn't have the blazer price either.

[@trevorgale1176]

Hi Ozzie, Question how would you rate the BRX compared to the Merkel Helix or the Blaser R8?

[@jamesmoon6042]

I like the orange mag. At least if you drop it you can see easily.

[@jaspersweeney4086]

i own one myself and was really interested in seeing your thoughts on it , i love it and cant fault it but im still waiting on the 10 round magazine to come out

[@bencowan23]

Isn't the 308 designed to shoot 150-165 grain bullets? I thought the sweet spot was around 155 grains, will a 1-12 twist stabilize 130 grain ? Would be interesting to see it tested with standard weight projectiles.

[@FourHorsemen-k2y]

Yes an Aimpoint Red Dot on that Beretta would be Sweet 👌

[@HerrGesetz]

Great review as always. Could you tell us what we're the top one or two most accurate out of the box rifles you've tested? Cheers

[@fpoutdoors450]

I think you got the trigger wrong 900, 250, 200grams? It sounded insane so I checked theire website and it says 950 to 1500 grams.

[@tonyZ338]

Nice video.Would of been cool to show how it can be taken apart completely, then put together again in 2 minutes. Like the Blaser R8.

[@Dorian-wf1iv]

Beautiful rifle

[@virgildailey1970]

I’ll bet that rifle will shoot sub MOA with heavier ammo. In the neighborhood of 175 to 180 grain range. Beretta states the 308 has a 1:10 twist ratio. That tends to stabilize heavier bullets better.

[@RADAdv346]

Dream property setup

[@lyellclare9365]

New rifle ,3 shot groups mostly under an inch. A very accurate rifle for hunting purposes. A better shooter might be able to get slightly better groups but a pointless exercise really. Once it is run in it may shoot better or worse. I have rifles that like having a dirty barrel and others that must be spotlessly clean or they shoot like crap , in particular if shooting pure cooper projectiles like Barnes TTSX. nice rifle would have one tomorrow but do not need any more rifles and haven't won lotto.

[@fineshooter50]

Hey Ozzie, Can you review the Warwick pump please?! Love to hear your take on it! Thanks 🙏

[@giuseppedz3699]

Well done Beretta, they "copied" the R8 Blaser and managed to make a good shotgun at a low cost but in my opinion the Blaser R8 is better, it costs much more but it has all the perfect features and Blaser also has years of experience and has also tested the 375 H&H with the same system and it works very well, however Beretta did well to build the "BRX1" rifle, well done.

[@medizinerhaider]

Don´t forget that you can put anything from .22lr up to .338 Lapua Mag. in a R8

[@str3tchr]

Interesting rifle, I don’t really know what I’m getting over a BAR here but it’s cool.

[@freedomfighter6549]

I would be interested in hearing your choice between the Benelli Lupo or the Beretta, they look similar, difference in bolt action. Lupo looks to be, not only from your review, but by others too to be extremely accurate. Your thoughts?

[@jonoj7666]

Great review 👌👍

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hello my friend! Great review!

[@Greentangle]

Hi，Can you make a video about the bolt and bolt carrier disassemble？The locking mechanism is totally new. Thanks!

[@Rx-xR]

Anyone know what the release date for the US is?

Has the Lupo been released here yet?

[@thorout8377]

[@chico5366]

GOOD VIDEO THANKS

[@OfficialMINIm]

Love it. Though I think I prefer the savage version of the straight pull

[@下落的水晶]

How about savage straight pull rifle, which is batter? I am bit worry about safety, I don't think savage straight pull rifle is better than this

[@heathuntersfinland4001]

Good video👌🏼

[@youneszreika]

Is it better than a browning Maral ?

[@jmichos]

Yeah ditto. Good question.

[@stevenliew2507]

How much is the rifle retailing in Melbourne, Australia?

[@blakethlabuuth6776]

Yeeaaaah the straight pull 👍

[@50-110nut]

Compare it against the Savage impulse

[@odda132]

Is the scope in the way of easily manipulating the safety?

[@orenburg6318]

Does BRX stand for “Blaser Rip off”?

[@tun0fun]

More like "Blaser is a rip off"!

[@tsclly2377]

H&K sold this type of straight pull in the 'States' in the mid '90's..[M96] Round bolt although that can out the back. about a 15 degree crank then straight.. no switching to lefty, some plastic and wood stock.. I see that it is still in Europe as Mauser.

[@philvanzuylen2782]

Had the Mauser M96 in .308 very accurate but a complicated bolt very tight tolerances it sure didn't like the wind blown sand on a Stewart Island hunting trip.

[@dtomic17]

Lithgow la102 or This? I feel the la102 is just as good and cheaper.

[@vikp6115]

How about scope rail it's attached to one side , and most of it floats , won't heavy bullets will vibrate the crap out of it and messes my zero of the scope I bet it vibrates really bad when recoil kicks in.

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

Question. What is the finish on the barel, bolt, and receiver? Is it blued, melonite, or something else?

[@KjllShot]

@ozziereviews g'day mate you still got that covenanter arms br22 cz455 22 rifle? They seem to be discontinued and I'd love to get my hands on one if you'd be interested to sell it?

[@seriola73]

Can you close the bolt slowly on a round or does it need to be slammed like a Blaser

[@Ace-wu4zm]

Do you find these better tan a pump action as far as follow up shots are concerned?

[@ozziereviews]

About the same really it’s what you practice with that makes the difference in my view

[@baraj062]

Beratta BRX1 mi alalım CZ 557 mi alalım hangisi daha güzel ve kaliteli

[@fredrikspjuth6236]

Great video as always. There are quite a few straight-pull rifles nowadays, have you handled some of the others? Do you have a favourite? As far as the safety, most of the high end European manufacturers offers a manual cocking system instead of a traditional safety. I love that feature and would not be without it on my primary hunting rifle.

[@youneszreika]

Anyone kno anything about the Black creek labs mrx ? There are a few out in the dealerships ready for order but are they unreliable as people say they are ?

[@Aussie038]

It looks like you have to have a scope mount and scope with every barrel.

Which is better, BRX1 or Browning BLR?

[@aynjeleyes]

Why not both lol

[@andrewyates108]

I wish I could have 1 but I can only dream

[@Charliesdad98]

So what shits i's me is you've obviously cited the rifle in first what ammo did you use first you had to get on paper before you started

[@alanfenick1103]

Looks very much like a Blaser rifle which have been built in Germany for many years!

[@triessearaujo6006]

👏👏👏

[@smokingcrab2290]

Keep your hand ahold of the bold handle at all times with your thumb and index finger, and use your ring finger to pull the trigger. You'll cycle way faster and more efficient and your ring finger will pull the trigger more gently allowing better accuracy. This has been my experience. Same technique some of the brits used with the Enfield.

[@johnegan7622]

Better than the Blaser R8?

[@serverlan763]

And less than half the price..

[@yulusleonard985]

this gun compete with roessler titan 16 not blaser r8/chapuis rolls.

[@kevinruddthestudrudd0074]

Why no spring assist though? :/

[@Historyfreak-f7o]

It’s a novel take on an idea coming out in the 1890s. It’s interesting, but altogether too expensive for most people seeking to put meat on the table. For my money, I think I’ll stick to my Model 70 Winchester Classic. It just makes more sense.

What is calibar?

[@Michael_Mears]

I think that cycles quicker than my BLR.

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

That gun desparately needs to be offered in .243 win and .270win

[@craigparker4108]

It does come in 243.

[@tor-erikeidissen9921]

This is a high performance rifle, so I guess you're feeding it with bad ammo relative to the twist on the barrel. Or, you just had a bad day at the range 😁 Basically, I've seen groupings hole in hole @ 100 meters with this rifle. Otherwise, great review 😎

[@chadhuxington690]

Nice gun, I will stick with my Sako....

[@dylano7242]

Faster but more safety concerns. Why beretta put all kinds safety modes on this. The loading of a round, the carrying of round in chamber, bumping the bolt. Is it a new take on old bolt-action but is it needed and worth the cost. No

[@mudbutton2]

The rail is silly high.
