Beretta ARX-100 Introduced at NRA Show

[VIP3R 237]

As with all new things any dealer selling these under msrp initially will be losing money due to demand, look at the Tavor as an example. You can now find them on gunbroker for $1650 when a year ago they were going for almost double that. Once the demand dies and they are readily available I expect prices to hover around the $1600 price point at a roughly 10% margin for dealers.

+1 Not to mention it's good to let others iron out all the initial problems.

Yep, I think I'll wait a few months. Besides, I like my weapons the same way I like my women - hot, Italian, and brown...

I think the $1500 rumors came from here: http://www.hinterlandoutfitters.com/...l-p-46171.html

Hinterland outfitters had to go on a couple of forums to point out that the price is a placeholder and they wont know how much it costs until they get them in.

Music to my ears, can't wait to get a hold of one since I suspect that unlike the PX4 it will be an example of Beretta's high quality products.

I'll wait until after the first rush dies down, but I'm interested in it. Just curious how it handles compared to the SCAR 16... guess I'll have to wait to try one out at the range!

$1500 bothers me. Corners will be cut on this rifle. This rifle will be another failure.

The MSRP is not $1500.00 it is $1950.00

Other than being semiauto, what's significantly different about this rifle than the fullauto original? I think the design should be good to go given the fullauto version has been out for a while and has even gone to war. The only thing that I'm a little wary of is the fact that it's being manufactured in a new location. There might be some initial manufacturing and/or QC problems, but Beretta will work through them.
