New Beretta Rifle

Maybe they'll use it in the next remake of Planet of the Apes.
 
....

I was ready to say "I'll get one.... as soon as they come out" but when I saw that the gun will probably 700-900 dollars......what's the point? I don't mean for those who want it....I meant why would they make it? If it is that much there is no way it will compete with the ar15. :rolleyes:



Also, I wonder when taurus is gonna' make their tactical rifle? It can't be far.
 
Heresy!!

I actually LIKE "space guns". Yeah, yeah, burn the heretic, I know. I consider my Glock21 to be a beauty, and I pine for a Cx4 Storm carbine in .45 ACP. This rifle has a really neat futuristic look to it and I like the looks of it. My love for futuristic looking firearms is probably because I read WAAAAYYYYYY too many scifi novels. As long as firearm is functional, I say run wild in the looks department.
 
Functionally this gun could be the equivilant of the Sig 556. When you look at it like that, the price looks reasonable (if it measures up the Sig). If it is little better than a $550 Mini 14 or SU16, then it is overpriced.
 
The collapsing stock is all wrong. If it's going to collapse the comb needs to stay the same or DROP as it gets shorter. Mag compatibility is good and at least they didn't slap 500 rails on it. It's very obviously derived from the Benelli but with the same reciever that should keep costs down and with the gas system under the barrel you've got a much better sight to bore offset. Sometihing I never really liked about the AR. It would take many glowing range reports and a very light weight for me to pick one up, otherwise my money will be going to a DMPS Lite-16. Assuming I don't already have it if/when this is released in the US.

Would you be happier if they were buying parts from LAR and Stag Arms, putting their rollstamp on there, and claiming to produce yet another AR-15 clone?

So what are peoples opinions of the S&W MP-15? :neener:

This is what happens when civilians aren't allowed to develop firearms. If we didn't have all of the restrictive laws today we'd have someone here in the states everyone would be calling "The new JMB". When you have bean counters create guns, this is what you come up with.

At least it's not another bandwagon gun. IMHO, there are already too many 1911 and AR pattern makers out there.
 
The MSRP for a new Mini-14 is $750. If Beretta has a similar MSRP then the RX4 should be good competition for the Mini. The base model SU-16 MSRPs for $640 so the baseline model would beat the RX4 in terms of price, but the C and CA models MSRP for $740, so the RX4 could also compete with the SU line. The only two things that I dislike about the RX4 from the pictures are the placement of the magazine release and the lack of a dust cover behind the bolt.
 
What kind of fool pays retail for any gun?

You can't go wrong with the DPMS. Great guns and customer service that can't be beat. I'm extremely fond of mine.
 
They are gonna have to make it cheap to make it sell. Its why the H&K SL8 didn't sell and the Mini 14 does despite the horrendous accuracy. I’d figure that the all plastic construction would make it cheap, I mean if you look around you can get a Benelli Nova Tactical at $300 even. If it is more accurate than the Mini 14 at about the same price, I’ll get one.
 
Wow, Beretta has outdone themselves. They've managed to create a gun even uglier than their Storm carbine or Storm pistol

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I will say this: At least Beretta has been trying to make something different. I may not buy one, but I can appreciate that it's something different.
 
Man I hope this comes out in that first fixed stock (the one in the middle) somebody Photoshopped, because then I could actually get something in .223 that's legal in California.

I don't like the Ruger Mini-14 and I have to have a fixed mag on an AR-15, not to mention everyone and their cousin has one/

Looks wise, I think it looks better than the CX4, especially if they go w/ a 10 round clip which will be shorter and flow better w/ the lines of the rifle.

Looks like sin, but no doubt it will be an ultra reliable effective rifle. Not my cup of tea though. She looks pretty cool though. I need to take her and give her some gun handling lessons. :D
 
Rx4 Storm price

This is an email I got back today direct from Beretta Customer Support regarding the cost of an Rx4 Storm with the fixed standard (non-pistol grip) stock:

"Thank you for contacting Beretta Customer Support.

The full stock will be $1,100.00 +/-."

Also - base clip is a 10 round magazine that has been capped to fit 5 rounds. I asked them if the cap is removable for areas that allow 10 rounds in semi-autos (a couple of their guns are similar and cap is removable), this was the response.

"I am not sure about the plug on the magazine. The rifle is not available here in the states yet."

Just an FYI for all those following this.

Yeah - there are plenty of nice shooting .223 (and larger) guns that you can pick up for less than that. I liked the feel of the Cx4 Storm to hold since I have a little shorter arm reach than some and I've got a Ruger P345..so the Cx4 Storm in .45 ACP was attractive since I reload my ammo - but you won't catch me dropping $1100 on the Rx4 in this lifetime. Our only hope for this gun is if the (+/-) on the end of that translates to -$400 if they hope to make people put down their AR's and pick up the Rx4. :D

True. I have actually come to appreciate the look of the Berettas in the last year and a half.
 
Ugliest POS I've seen since Gary Oldman (Zorg) demo'ed his gun in Fifth Element.

And this Beretta doesn't even have a flame thrower.

Now if Remington made the 7400 like the 7600 Police Patrol rifle, that would be niceeeeeeeeee. the mags are a bit of a weak link. A '7415' patterned after the 7615 would also be a cool rifle.
 
I've shot 7400s and 7600s (and 760s), and I'll take the pump over the autoloader any day. The tactical 7600 is a brilliant rifle.
