The Beretta BRX1 7mm Remington Magnum 22″ 5+1 Black is a straight-pull bolt-action rifle built for shooters who want fast follow-up shots without losing the precision of a traditional bolt gun. Chambered in the flat-shooting 7mm Rem Mag, this rifle gives you the reach to ring steel at 800 yards and the modularity to swap barrels or calibers at home. It’s a modern hunting and long-range platform from a brand that’s been making firearms since 1526.

Key Features
- Straight-pull bolt action – Why it matters: You cycle the bolt with a simple push-pull motion, keeping your eye on target and your rifle ready for a second shot faster than a traditional turn-bolt.
- 22-inch threaded barrel (5/8×24 thread pattern) – Why it matters: You can attach a suppressor or muzzle brake directly, cutting recoil or noise without a gunsmith visit.
- Adjustable single-stage trigger – Why it matters: You dial pull weight from about 2.2 to 4.4 pounds, matching the trigger to your hunting or precision shooting style.
- Detachable box magazine (5+1 capacity) – Why it matters: You load up before the walk and reload in seconds, not fumbling with internal mags in the field.
- Drilled-and-tapped receiver – Why it matters: You mount any standard scope base without extra machining, getting on glass fast.
Who It’s For
The Beretta BRX1 is for the hunter who wants one rifle that can do it all: spot-and-stalk in the mountains, sit in a blind, or hit steel at distance. It’s also for the new bolt-action shooter who wants a modern platform that’s easy to run and upgrade. If you want a rifle that doesn’t tie you to one cartridge forever, this modular system is worth a hard look.

FAQ
Can I mount any scope on the Beretta BRX1?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. You’ll need a 30mm or 1-inch ring set that matches your base. Per Beretta specs, the receiver uses a #8-40 thread pattern common to most aftermarket bases.
Does the 22-inch barrel give up velocity compared to a 24-inch?
You lose about 30-50 fps with the shorter barrel, which is negligible for hunting inside 500 yards. The trade-off is a handier rifle that swings faster in brush and fits easier in a scabbard.
Can I swap the barrel to another caliber later?
Yes. The BRX1 is modular. You buy a separate barrel assembly (barrel + bolt head) and swap it at home using the included tool. Beretta offers barrels in .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Win Mag, and others.
Is this rifle legal for hunting in all 50 states?
7mm Remington Magnum is legal for big game in all states that allow rifle hunting. The 5+1 magazine capacity is also legal everywhere. Check local laws on suppressor use if you plan to use the threaded barrel.
What is the twist rate on the barrel?
Per Beretta specs, the 7mm Rem Mag barrel uses a 1:9.5” twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 140 to 175 grains reliably.
