New Beretta Rifle

Beauty is not just skin deep

Are looks all that figure in on ya'lls choice in rifles?? Think about it,If this rifle works on the same principal as Beretta's shotguns that means they have possibly prefected a RECOIL OPERATED assult rifle. Imagine no gas system to screw up or have to clean simplicity at it's best. I would bet money that the rifle that the lovely young lady is holding will be Beretta's entry into the new round bidding coming up for the armys next rifle platform.
 
I dunno 'bout the rest of y'all, but not only do I like the cut of its jib, I likes the looks of it, too! Looks a little skeevy with the stock extended, but so do AR collapsible stocks, and the Benelli M4/M1014 stock, etc.. The front-end looks cool.

I hope they'll be able to import it proper-like.

As much as other people hate the looks of it, I love the way it looks. I would be the person to buy one if I had the extra money lying around, of course I also want a CX$ Storm as well.

It's gas operated. Here.
 
I love it...someone makes something new and different and y'all come out of the woodwork with complaints about how "ugly" and "spacegun/toy" looking it is ... but if Beretta went out and built their own AR or FAL or some other standard design y'all would be complaining "Oh boy, just what the world needs another clone of X gun!"

:rolleyes: :neener:



I like the looks of it ... I would prefer it to look more like the original Storm, but its nice to see someone thinking "outside the box" instead of just building another clone of something old.

I just expect 2 problems with this gun:
1) it will have to be built stateside or have to change the mag system to accept only proprietary 10 round mags so it can meet that stupid "Sporting Clause" (probably get stuck with a non collapsing thumb hole stock too).
2) No way Beretta is going to price this thing to compete with the SU-16...its going to cost as much as a RRA AR-15.
 
i really need to move out of california

I am not so sure that a California legal version would be difficult at all. It looks like the pistol grip and the stock can be easily replaced with a standard stock. If so then this could be the rifle that California residents have been asking for.

I know the quality will be better, but it reminds me of a Hi Point carbine. If I'm paying Beretta prices, I want a better looking rifle.

Like the banned AR-70, perhaps.

Other posts pretty much nailed i: Cx4, Benelli shotgun, Microwave.

Kinda like the new Chevy HHR: what you get when a Chevy Astro and a Chrysler PT Cruiser forget to use protection.

+1:D

A very easy to build for California rifle, just sub in the R1 stock!!

I would buy it.
 
Lots of good, functional, tested guns are FUGLY.

Form follows function, unless all you are is a range fashion queen....in which case I don't care what you buy, it's not like it's for shooting.

I like it, but I don't know how they'll get it here unless it's imported neutered and assembled with US parts to make it compliant. I HIGHLY doubt it will be 100% US made.

So, either they do a 922 dance to get it to US Civilians, or they sell it LEO only and we never see it.....or worse we only see a neutered version.
 
Ugly?

I can't believe everone is saying this is ugly and that ARs are nice looking...ARs are valuable because they are accurate and extremely functional ergonomically, not because they look pretty. If this things works well, is accurate and is reasonably priced, why not?

Pretty is an M1A in a tiger striped stock, NOT an AR

Wonder if they'll make it in 7.62X51 or another real caliber?:neener:
 
sometimes "ugly" is a instinctive reaction to something that is disfunctional.

The way the comb height changes as the stock is adjusted
would make a repeatable sight picture/zero an "interesting" endeavor.
 
With the short barrel and the stock collapsed I think it's quite attractive.

The longer barrel and the stock extended with that stupid looking bar ... eh. That's one where I'd consider paying an SBR tax.
 
I don't quite like the way the adjustable stock looks but I do like variety and if this rifle delivers at a reasonable price then I'd be interested.

Absolutely fugly! No soul, kinda like a block... :scrutiny:

My thoughts exactly. It seems Beretta, in an effort to remove all military looking nuances to the rifle, made it into a plastic ray gun that Mattel, Hasbro and Coleco would be proud.

I'd still buy it though, but it would need a non-pistol grip.

I'll take one in .243 Win that takes FAL or M14 Mags please. Benelli's already got a version that fires .308, we just need some new tactical guigaro furniture basically.
