Beretta BRX1 Straight-Pull Rifle: Game Changer or Gimmick?

The Beretta BRX1 is one of the most unusual bolt-action rifles out there. Instead of rotating a bolt handle, you slide it straight back and forward, and the bolt locks and unlocks itself, which allows for fast and smooth cycling. In this video I put the BRX1 through real-world testing to find out if the straight-pull design is a game changer or a gimmick. Watch above to see what I found.

Guardsman rifle with an ATN X-Sight 5

We test the Guardsman rifle paired with the ATN X-Sight 5 day/night scope. The video shows clarity, smooth tracking and solid accuracy from daylight to complete darkness.

What a day/night scope offers

  • One optic for day and night: a digital scope works in daylight and in the dark.
  • Smooth tracking: helpful on moving targets or when scanning.
  • Know your local rules: check hunting and night-shooting laws in your state before using it in the field.

Gear

Rifle Trick Shot | Skipping Bullets Across 3 Steel Plates

Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As an affiliate, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

Skipping a bullet across three steel plates

In this trick shot, a Weatherby bolt-action rifle skips a bullet across three steel plates. It is a demonstration, not something to copy casually. Always use safe distances, proper backstops and eye and ear protection when shooting steel.

Why steel needs respect

  • Unpredictable paths: ricochets and fragments can travel in directions you do not expect.
  • Distance: stay at or beyond the target maker’s recommended distance. See Infinity Targets.
  • Protect yourself: wear eye and ear protection, such as ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear

Thermal AR15 vs Steel

Affiliate disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As an affiliate, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

Thermal AR-15 vs steel

Clip-on thermal optics let you add thermal imaging in front of a standard daytime scope, so you keep your zero and your reticle while seeing heat signatures. In this video, I run a DPMS AR-15 with an ATN Tico 6 clip-on at steel.

Why use a clip-on thermal?

  • Keeps your zero: you do not have to re-sight your daytime optic.
  • Keeps your reticle: use the scope you already know.
  • Shows heat signatures: useful for spotting targets in the dark.

Shooting steel safely

Use steel rated for your ammo, stay at a safe distance, and wear eye and ear protection. See Infinity Targets and ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear

Compare thermal and night optics at OpticsPlanet, find 5.56 ammo at True Shot Ammo and Natchez, and get AR-15 parts and cleaning supplies at Brownells.

Rifle cartridge components explained

Ever wondered about the inner workings of firearms? In this video, we break down ammunition components and how they affect terminal performance and velocity.

The four parts of a cartridge

  • Case: holds everything together and seals the chamber when fired.
  • Primer: the small cap that ignites the powder when struck.
  • Powder: burns to create the pressure that pushes the bullet down the barrel.
  • Bullet: the projectile that leaves the barrel and hits the target.

Gear

Choose bullets from Barnes Bullets, find loaded ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo, and use ShellShock hearing protection at the range.

Bullet velocity and terminal performance

This video explains how bullets work and gives some shooting tips for your next target session. We look at ammunition components and how they affect terminal performance and velocity.

Why velocity and design matter

  • Velocity: speed affects trajectory and how much energy a bullet carries downrange.
  • Bullet design: construction decides how a bullet expands, penetrates or holds together.
  • Match the load to the job: use hunting bullets for game and target bullets for the range.

Weatherby .25 WBY RPM accuracy test

The .25 WBY RPM is a modern Weatherby cartridge built for flat trajectories and strong performance on game at range. In this video, I check the accuracy of a Weatherby bolt-action rifle in this chambering.

What to look for in a new cartridge

  • Flat trajectory: less holdover at long range.
  • Ammo availability: new cartridges can be harder to find, so check supply before you commit.
  • Suitable game: match the cartridge to what you hunt and the distances you shoot.
