So far it's only announced for Euro market... and that is good news for my pocket.

Savage introduced a straight pull a year or so ago. I haven't really heard much about it since. That one was appealing to me because it's easily converted between RH/LH use as does this Beretta.

Keep waiting for the inevitable Savage recall. No straight pulls for me. Dont want to have to have a bolt removed from my eye socket.
 
that's what glasses are for.
this beretta design is interesting though
do i need it? nope
do i want it? not really
will i end up with one? remains to be seen.

I have been trying to find evidence of this phenomenon occurring in an attempt to protect my wallet from this rifle. However, the only time I have heard of bolts ejecting themselves is on the original Green Meanie Accuracy International rifles. It's a traditional bolt gun of course.

This sounds cool:

The BRX1 barrels are made of black opaque burnished steel, free-floating, created entirely by cold-hammering and deep drilling, that creates both the rifling and the combustion chamber in a single step. The cold hammering and special vacuum stress relieving techniques, lend the steel the ideal characteristics to offer the best ballistic performances available today, in addition to the perfect alignment between the cartridge chamber and the rifling. All these details ensure the maximum accuracy of the weapon.

Sounds they're using Sako mfg barrels, like Tikka. One of the reasons Berreta bought Sako.

bunch of B.S. is what that all means. Lets look at this copy...

"black opaque burnished steel" Means: Color black, can not see through it, polished
"free-floating" Barrel does not touch the stock after a known point
"created entirely by cold-hammering and deep drilling" Cold-hammering is the process to remove friction heat while placing rifling in the drilled barrel, All barrels are deep drilled,
"creates both the rifling and the combustion chamber in a single step" no sh!t.

Everyone jazzes their stuff up for marketing. Its an $1800 rifle they going to have to sell it some.

Is the purpose of hammering really to remove heat? I thought the hammering forms the barrel blank around a mandrel, and also causes some desired improvement in material properties vs machining?
 
cool videos, I’ve been aware that there are several ways to make a barrel, but never thought about the details. What is the max temp from cold forging? Obviously hotter than you want to grab with a bare hand, but nothing was glowing.
 
Man!!! After watching the videos it's amazing that any rifle can be made to sell for what they do. Think of this multiplied by 100 for Each part that has to be as precise as they are. I am amazed that Savage can construct rifles as accurate as they do for the MSRPs they carry. Savage single handedly changed the Ruger-Remington-Winchester hold on the rifle market with The Accutrigger. Most of us remember what getting a good trigger on a rifle was before Savage brought it out. I have never owned a Savage Rifle but I appreciate what they did for us.

Straight pull Ya say??? Col. Jeff loved the Blaser.
 
@DangerRuss and @JimB ,

"Cold" is the term to mean not red hot. The friction of the hammer blows creates alot of heat, but the oil being flowed over the barrel steel keeps the barrel "cool"

@BatteryOaksBilly
Savage's trick of the trade is the castle nut. The barrels from a each brand are equal in quality, and chamberings are equal also. The key to all of this is how Savage installed the barrel. What they do is shown in the below video.


Using the head space gauge for installing the barrel on a closed bolt, is VERY smart and is not the procedure of Remington

Blaser design is different. It has an expanding bolt, Beretta is rotating. Will it make a difference? Who knows but R93 had some bolt ejections which caused them to redesign for the R8.

Blaser is still king of the hill though.
