SHOT SHOW 2010 - Beretta ARX-160 new Italian Assualt Rifle at SHOT

[greentips]

If there is any surprise at SHOT - the ARX 160 is the most underrated and not rightfully gaining any spotlight.

Hidden in the tiny Beretta LE booth along with a bunch of Storms is the new italian Assault rifle. The best of all, Beretta LE rep. indicated that Beretta has the full intention of bringing a semi-automatic version to the civilian market.

After completely underwhelmed by Bushmaster ACR, the Beretta ARX 160 finally gave me a reason to be excited.

[Deuce044]

Greentips, you bugger, you're making my wish list get longer and longer every second...

 

[Joe69]

Can this be legally owned in Canada with a restricted and non restricted license?

 

[Nug]

Does it look like Pmags would fit up that mag well?

 

[00Buck]

Looks nice.

 

[RANGERMAN]

Looks kind of like

A scar type rifle

 

[jackenape]

Looks nice. If it came with a NR barrel length, I might make it my first functioning Black Rifle (I have been slow in building up my stripped lower.....)

 

[nestle]

Interesting.

I still pee myself when I watch the video of the guy changing the side of ejection with a bullet in seconds.

i think id like it better without the folding sock, maybe collapsible. but not folding. hopefully it will have a 18.5" bbl or longer option. would make a great varmint rifle

 

[zupermann]

Looks great! I wonder what twist the barrel is. Also, is the mag release the small button at the 2 o'clock position above the trigger? If not, where is it?

 

[Slithery]

If it comes in .308, maybe.

 

[GIGGIDY]

Holy s**t, I just jizzed myself......

That was a very impressive group from 100 meters in that video!

 

[Mike Oxbig]

I wish I had the time and $ to go. lucky SOB!

 

[Shalpin]

Soooooooooooooooo Freakin hoooooooooooooooot!!!!

 

[Speckfire]

Damn ..another rifle on the to buy list...When is it going to end.

 

[Eastford]

Looks like a lefties dream.
I'd consider it depending on Canadian price and if it has ambi mag release.

 

[Shalpin]

hell... Why wait for price !! Lefty's dont ask ... we get suckered into anything that is either lefty only or lefty-friendly! and half the time we have to pay a premium for it ... ask not for price... ask for availability!!
