New Beretta Rifle

The Italian marketing team is at it again. They need to fire the clothiers and get someone who designs guns. Almost broke my eyes.
 
I love ugly guns. In spite of the too short hair, the booth-lady is pretty attractive too. Ah, Italian girls!
 
Id pick one up if Boyds got around to making a laminated thumbhole stock for it, perhaps something similar to the serling shotgun stocks. I think the folks down in Accokeek are getting ready to release it, Ive seen a few Beretta brochures and catalogs that have the "coming soon", or "call or price" undeer the secription and picture. As far as I am concerned the more black rifles made, and in turn more black rifle owners, help us immensely especially going into the 08 battle of the big shots. Commitment to the EBR segment brings in jobs, money and votes for our side, and especially in MD we need all the help we can get.

New Beretta Rx4

I've heard threw the grapevine that Jan. 08 will be the release date for the Rx4 and my buddy is getting one for 10% over retail and that is $1000. This is in California as well if anyone is wondering.
If you ask me I dont think its worth the money, at least not the california legal one, which will not have the pistol grip, so basically it may just be a more expense version of the Ruger "ranch rifle" for those of you lucky enough to live in a state that isnt all screwed up I would just stick with the AR-15, its proven and its more than likely cheaper.

Semper Fi for all those Jar-Heads out there
 
Ooh-rah!

I've been waiting for this Berretta for awhile. Im hoping it'll be more accurate and durable that a Mini-14. Im not a fan off the whole off-list CA-legal AR thing and I havent been impressed with our other .223 options like the SU-16. $1000 is a lot, but if it's a performer I'll glady pay the price.

I like the integrated rails and the use of AR mags. Should be really easy to add a red dot and bipod. I really hope it's accurate and I'm in for one. This is perfect for the CA market.
 
Beretta Rx4

Ooh-rah!

Well like I said before, my friend is getting one soon so when he gets it we we'll run it threw the drills and see how it holds up. Both of us being former Marines and all, I'd like to think we know a good rifle when we see one.
And when its all said and done I'll get back on here and let you know what I think. As crazed ss stated I too am not a big fan of the off list CA legal "assult rifles". Those mini-14 are like shooting blind folded and those SU-16, which I bought and it lasted me about 500 rounds before the barrel started to break down (shooting over a span of 6 months) which caused major problems, but not to get off the topic at hand, if anyone has their hands on this Rx4, let us know whats it like. Semper Fi !
 
I wonder why on the web site it lists the length of the barrel at 16 or 12 inches. Looking at the photograph, it just begs for a flash hider or to be a SBR. (Is that a $200 stamp?) I also wonder what the measurement from front to rear sight is? Do you suppose if you remove all the plastic how does the rifle look? Most important HOW DID THEY BUILD IT WITHOUT A BUFFER TUBE???
 
HOW DID THEY BUILD IT WITHOUT A BUFFER TUBE???

The same way they build Paratrooper FALs, Kalashnikovs, G3s, FNCs, AR-18s, etc. etc. Most self-loading rifles do not require the return spring to be in the stock. The standard FAL and the M16 family are two notable exceptions. The FAL, of course, can be modified to have a folding stock. The M16 cannot.
 
I guess my curiousity will wait or will this become a vaporware rifle, or are their any of these rifles in circulation?
 
IIRC, I was told by the rep that the first few models coming in were already allocated, and it would only be a handful. And that it's going to be at least 6-12 months until we see them in quantity.
 
This rifle will never see the light of day in the USA. Beretta has already said theat because of gun import laws in in Italy and the USA ir\t will not be releasing the RX4.
 
It is not that bad looking with the stock retracted. Otherwise, I think I saw the same gun in that Jane Fonda movie "Barberella"
 
I am surprised that no one has said it - the gun has been discontinued. It will not be released after all.
 
I've heard at least three seperate reasons: that the rifle wasn't "good" enough for Beretta, that import/export issues prevented Beretta from bringing them in, and finally that there just wasn't enough interest from the market to justify the expenditure. Offhand, I'd speculate that all three are probably responsible.
 
Hey Beretta.........when you find a way to produce U.S. legal versions of these guns, I might actually think of you as being something more than a shotgun company.

I can't remember the last time I bought a shotgun or even considered purchasing a Beretta product, but I buy lots of rifles. :D
