BRX1 500 Years Limited Edition: Celebrating 500 Years and the Wonder of Big Game Hunting
The BRX1 500 Years Limited Edition celebrates Beretta’s heritage through the pursuit of big game hunting. Built on Beretta’s modern straight-pull hunting rifle platform, the BRX1 combines an innovative approach to rifle design with the precision and reliability expected by today’s hunters. Its straight-pull action supports fast, intuitive cycling, while its modular design reflects Beretta’s commitment to adapting proven engineering to the needs of modern hunting. Comes with a refined wood stock and forend straight from the factory. At its heart, an evocative big game engraving comes to life on the hand-polished receiver, depicting wild boar and bellowing deer. A celebration of tradition and craftsmanship, this scene creates a striking dialogue with the rifle’s modern soul, emphasized by the iconic high-visibility orange 5-round magazine.
