In this video, we're going to compare straight pull rifles to traditional bolt action rifles using two .30-06 guns. Both types of rifles have their pros and cons, but which one is the better choice?

First, we'll take a closer look at straight pull rifles, using the Beretta BRX-1. These rifles have a unique design that allows for faster and smoother cycling of the action. This can be especially useful in situations where speed and accuracy are important, such as in hunting or target shooting competitions. We'll take a look at the Beretta BRX1 rifle. This straight pull rifle features a lightweight design, making it a great choice for those who need to carry their rifle over time and distance. The BRX1 also has a detachable magazine, allowing for quick and easy reloading in the field.

Next, we'll examine traditional bolt action rifles. Bolt action rifles have been around for over a century and remain one of the most popular types of rifles in the world. They are known for their accuracy and reliability, making them a great choice for hunting and long-range shooting. In this video, we use the Sako 85 bolt action rifle. This rifle has a reputation for exceptional accuracy and reliability, with a smooth bolt action that is both fast and precise. The Sako 85 also has a detachable magazine, and is available in a range of calibers.

Which one is better? As with most things, it depends on your needs and preferences. In this video, we'll go over some of the pros and cons of each type of rifle, including accuracy, speed, ease of use, and more. We'll also offer some tips for choosing the right type of rifle for your specific needs.

    Straight pulls are cool but I think a lot of shooters choose turnbolt for the satisfaction of nailing a reload on a really slick action, like how enthusiast drivers often prefer a manual transmission despite it being slower..
  • @scott_hunts
    I’m a big fan of the Swiss straight pulls. The mechanism is just so nifty.
  • @iamnotarealboy
    Just picked up a K31 yesterday, such a cool rifle, and the quality is absolutely astounding for the time. Mine has cleaner machining and finishing that a lot of modern firearms, and it was made in 1934.
  • @Dstev98141
    Sako, beautiful machines, fired many in my time in Europe all bolt action, phenomenal equipment with some of the most beautiful finishes!
  • @ronnstone7023
    Excellent video as always and great content. The BRX1 should be a good choice for a beginner to expert with limited time to spend at range.
  • @polhokustaa4989
    James go to Finland visit Sako some day. They've just launched their new AR style rifles for the military too ;)
  • @funkla65
    This was a good comparison of a straightpull vs a turnbolt with a traditional layout. It would've also been interesting to see the Benelli Lupo in the mix, as it's a turnbolt with ergos tilted towards engaging moving game.

    World record for best visual aesthetic ever. Bravo. This is the Major Key of visual arts (minor keys sound like yeast infections). Ttyl
  • @crankygunreviews
    The BRX is definitely an awesome design and will sell well. i like both.
  • @carlmeader
    Excited to see more straight pull actions on the market. I just bought a savage impulse a few months ago and its been loads of fun.

    *Wholesome Content Award* Honestly, this is exactly the kind of range trip that makes shooting so great. Just a couple friends being honest, supportive, curious, and educational about their experiences and interests. James continues to demonstrate what our entire 2A community should act like when we're interacting online, in person, or at the range.

    Straight pulls have potential to be great hunting guns. However, as the M95 showed the Austro-Hungarians, it can be a nightmare for maintenance in the field. Basically, removing the bolt was easy to do, but to put it back in, one would have to cock the bolt using nothing but the locking lugs and pulling it back hard while they twist in your hand until it locks open and you can reinsert it. Since its under spring pressure now, any slight bump on the bolt could easily snap it back so you'd have to do it again. It was a nightmare to maintain.
  • @Cam64viper
    As a pretty big M95 fan (the bolt is my profile picture), I must day that I'm real excited for this video and am rooting for the straight pull rifle lol
  • @USMC03OG
    That Sako is so damn beautiful, I’ll take the extra time
  • @bubbathedm
    Definitely prefers straight pull. Would love to see desert tech or another company make a straight pull bullpup
  • @ExhumedButhcer
    Very nice and intresting video, love the Bretta BRX-1. I'm sure that the straight-pull action is more easy and fast to use, but personally i still prefer bolt-action rifles.
  • @eiszeit9795
    I have several classic bolt guns and bought a beretta brx in 300wm last autumn for driven boar hunt season in winter. it’s nice to shoot when you need those fast follow up shots.
  • @AliSyd
    Great video! I really enjoyed this one!
  • @AP0LUNE
    Always great when someone with knowlage shares his passion, and lets the products speak for themselves without forcing something down your throat.
