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..

@kamferjau Год назад

Just as satisfying on a nice straight bolt

@Ben-rq5re Год назад

@@kamferjau I’m not knocking them, they can be lovely actions, just saying that some prefer a turnbolt _because_ they’re harder to operate fast..

@aSportishOne Год назад

I think it has less to do with that and more to do with the proliferation or mauser-ish actions trickling down from service rifles and becoming the default rifle layour. They're generally cheaper to produce than straight pull rifles too. Fortunately it seems that straight-pull guns are going to become more common in the US.

@@g54b95 yeah but they used cheaper steel when the times got hard in the later years or the war. my grandfathers K31 is one of the ones with cheaper material. look out if the manufacturing year is 1943-46, check the locking lugs for cracks and get a professional to have a look at it if possible. the manufacturing year is behind the metal plate of the stock. if you get a "bad" one i heavily recommend using good shooting glasses. it might not fail for decades, but when it faiks it would be catastrophic, with the bolt coming straight back into your eye/cheek.

@tylerwilliams6022 Год назад

Ever seen sporterized versions of this? Might be a decent way to get one cheap for a hunting rig. Even though I like some sporterized guns, I do not advocate sporterizing any older military rifle. There's already enough bastardized ones of them out there if you want one.

@Dinjur Год назад

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 Год назад

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

Thanks to Gunsight Academy and Cain Tactics, my wife and I are very proficient. Please do more "practical rifle" type videos.

@MehulKamdar Год назад

Fantastic video! Thank you! Real-world experiences showcasing different shooters' preferences and capabilities are always enjoyable. Cupping the bolt knob with the palm on the Sako as soldiers were trained to do before WW-1 would have narrowed the speed difference considerably. The BRX would still have won on speed of follow-up shots. It would also feel much more natural to anyone accustomed to a semi auto. That said, the straight pull has a strong advantage in the ability to mount the scope lower as there is no risk of the bolt handle hitting the scope body. American shooters prefer in-line recoil and the straight pull excels in this aspect again, though with hard recoilers, there's a method for letting the rifle recoil upward while you quickly work the bolt open and then when you shut it, you can push the muzzle down with the front hand and the additional push with the hand working the bolt to line the rifle up to shoot a follow up - dispersing the recoil upward and away from the shoulder does hurt somewhat less.

Straight pull is more mechanically complex and expensive but the reason the military likes them is because it helps you maintain sight picture for follow-up shots. Bolt actions are going to be a lot cheaper and simpler to maintain and if you're a good enough shot you dont need 2. The only reason to get a straight bolt is if you think it looks cool. With proper training you can shoot a bolt action just as quick as a straight pull. However shooting quickly with the bolt action oftentimes leads to you and complete witness and bad locking. Short and simple: buy a bolt action. Unless you're weird.
