Opinions on the Beretta ARX100?

[Joegrz308]

I saw the ARX100 on special at Bud’s Guns for $799 and it looked intriguing. I checked the Beretta website and the MSRP is $1950. It looked like a bargain and decided I had room in the gun safe for it. Anyone have any experience with it? Looks like a decent rifle that is piston driven as well as light. Thoughts?

I have one and am totally thrilled with it. The idea that at a push of a button you can go from right hand to left hand and back was really nice at a range not too long ago when my daughter and I were shooting it. Nice to be able to sit on either side of the table and never have to worry about hitting each other with the ejecting rounds.

Mine has been 100% reliable and as accurate as these old eyes can make it.

Hard for me to pass up getting a second for what Bud's is asking.

Received the rifle last weekend and was quite impressed with the takedown as it requires no tools. Even the barrel removes easily. I put a couple of hundred rounds through it and could not be happier with my purchase. A lot of rifle for $799.

How is the trigger? I have heard they are super heavy and unenjoyable.

I read complaints about the heavy trigger also. However, I was very surprised, while not match grade, it seemed like a normal two staged military type trigger. Very acceptable to me.

Ih jeez, I've said no to these four si looking mostly because of the price... at 800...

When they were $1000+ no way. At this price, it's cool. Ambi and side fold is probably your only major advantage over an ar though.

I doubt think they're better than an ar. But definitely a cool addition ro the safe.
