I doubt you’d say that about these ones, they didn’t line up and would have put a dent in the scope.

Pretty good “Customer Care” IMHO so full marks to them.
Beretta has just released a safety recall regarding the BRX1 straight-pull repeater.

Purely out of curiosity why would anyone put the charging handle on back to front and what if anything are the consequences? Indeed you would have thought that the design would have precluded the chance of actually doing this - however……….
Scope on, eye relief much better. I’ve swapped the mounts for some other ones that seem straight 
. Scope looks a bit wrong positioning wise but it’s much easier to get the eye relief correct. I’ll take the other mounts with me when I zero incase they aren’t great. Testing it tomorrow.

Scope zeroed, 3 shot group (below) with factory federal 150gr SP. Pretty happy with that! Just need to do a cold barrel shot to check zero.
Overall really happy, good handling characteristics. Bolt is a dream, grouping is great, only thing is it doesn’t seem to like dropping a bullet in the feed tray, it much prefers to have them loaded in the mag.

From what I was told it caused a slam fire when closed. Luckily it was pointed in a safe direction so no danger on that occasion but you can understand why they need to recall it.Pretty good “Customer Care” IMHO so full marks to them.

Even when you don't think you have to you need to factor in that someone will do something stupid and take steps to prevent it
Yeah, that’s why I’ve mounted it that far back. I really am impressed with how slick that bolt is.

Just seen this on You tube so thought might be useful to some. I couldn’t see it posted on SD
It shows the upgrade. A good reference video perhaps to make sure you have got the upgrade on your rifle. Reading in between the lines then it would seem pre upgrade putting the handle in the wrong way round could expose the firing pin from the bolt face which would tie in with the risk of slam fire as suggested above.
Ps any update on what it’s like to shoot?
All the best

Felt cheap to handle

Looks nice, feels ok but would you regret not buying a blaser in the end?
Nope. No regrets for me. Really enjoying it.
Neither, personally I preferred the action on the beretta, still do. Only thing the blaser has going for it IMHO is the scope mounts and calibre availability. I imagine this will change though

Probably has the same drawback as the blaser. As in the bolt coming back towards your eye/cheek when cycling bolt. Still great value on beretta. I wonder how accurate beretta is compared to merkel helix and blaser R8
So I posted a few pictures of my scope mounting. When I mounted it further back with a cheek rest I could cycle the bolt and keep mounted.
Yes
