Straight Pull vs. Bolt Action Rifles: Which is Better?
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. 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 were so popular in the Alps during WW1 the Italians made a song about them. Specifically the Steyr M95.
I say it again: I want a pump action European Wild Boar Hunting Rifle with a Calico/Bison helix magazine.
Advantage: One does not have to move the trigger hand at all + it falls under shotgun regulations (in that: It would still not be an AR with a decent clip...).
