Thinking about a SCAR? Beretta ARX160

[2SAM22]

This sounds like it will be worth waiting for.

If you want to take a SCAR for a test drive just let me know.

 

[2SAM22]

I've been resisting spending my $ on one for a while. I appreciate the offer and have had another offer of the same and it is much appreciated.

 

[clandestine]

I like what I see!

Looks nice but am still going with the scar. Not a bad looking piece...guess time will tell.

 

[smokey]

the 3 spots to release the mag are kinda redundant, but having the bolt release on the bottom of the trigger guard is perty cool. Also the quick barrel release looks like it could make cleaning pretty easy. All in all, it looks cool.

All of a sudden, my pants feel tight.

Until I see MSRP, that is...

 

[clandestine]

This gun looks VERY well thought out. Im gonna get one for sure if they make it.

 

[fivepointstar]

I think i just creamed my boxers.....that is SWEET!!

 

[smokedog]

Pretty well thought out it seems I really like it.
Wonder what msrp would be?

 

[Idempotent]

I don't really see why I would want three magazine releases, but everything else is golden. I especially like that bolt release. Toolless barrel removal is also really nice, not only for people out in the field, but just your average gun owner who doesn't have much in the way of tools at home.

Beretta rep said "Well below $2,000 MSRP" in the video.

Is the ACR in the mix for you at all? I love mine.

haha nope! Ender as in ender's game? Awesome book and one of my favorites growing up.

Not in the running for me yet. Wrong Twist and has already been recalled.

 

[Ender]

Have to kill those buggers. One of my favorites from high school too, my friends started calling me it since my name is Andrew and I would destroy them in this online video game we used to play called starcraft.
Back to the main topic, I've always felt that there was a lot of undeserved hate for ACRs out there, all I can say is that I played with both and it felt right for me.

I like the ACR over the SCAR (Controls), but the barrel twist and the recent recall make me realize it stil needs work.

You have a nice gun but it needs some refinement for me to buy one.

The beretta if it runs good has even more control versatility and the barrel removes faster. Lets hope they do the barrel in 1/7".

 

[Ender]

I agree that it isn't an ideal twist rate for most, I shoot 55 and 62 gr rounds so it hasn't effected me too much. The recall didn't apply to my rifle so it never bothered me too much either, from what I have heard BM customer service handled it pretty well and people that did get recalled lost their rifles for 2 weeks but got 2 free pmags out of it. It isn't as refined as the SCAR but the deal breaker for me was I hate the recip charging handle and location. I'm not bashing the SCAR, just saying for me it wasn't right. I really am waiting for a 300 AAC barrel to come out for the ACR. The Beretta looks nice, I don't know if I would have waited for it but my decision has already been made.
