Italian rifle maker Victrix Armaments has announced that they have been acquired by Beretta Fabbrica D’Armi in a move to bring Italian-made precision rifles to the Beretta line up. Honestly, I can’t remember researching Victrix Armaments in the past, so I’m going to call on our Eurozone readers to chime in down in the comments section with some additional real-world information.
Victrix produces three lines of rifles: The Minerva line focused on the tactical shooter. The Victoria line focused on the sport/target shooter. And the Lunae line focused on equipping hunters.
I will be visiting the Beretta USA booth this week at the 2017 SHOT Show for a closer look at the Victrix lineup and some more detailed pictures. Until then, here’s a look at some of their offerings.
As with all our precision rifles, the Minerva tactical series are based around our tried and tested three locking lug action, availbale in two lenghts to accomodate most commonly used cartridges. The intelligent design of the FMRC (Fully Modular Rifle Chassis) means the rifle can be fully customised to adapt to and to suit particular needs, with safety in mind and accuracy and repeatability guaranteed. We also manufacture an extensive range of accessories for the Minerva Series, all of which can easily be retro-fitted.
The Victoria sport series is our introduction into the target shooting arena. Our signature series of rifles is a collaboration between our design specialists and engineers. We have listened to and worked closely with the top European shooters to develop this series of signature rifles. The heart of this rifle is based around our tried and tested three locking lug action married to Benchmark match grade barrel. Unlike other manufaturers, the barrelled action is then fully pillar bedded in an epoxy resin to one of our laminate or solid wood stocks, with one of our proprietary finishes.
