New SBR candidate: CZ 805 Bren or Beretta ARX100?

[1911-A1]

I'm kind of torn between the two. I read about accuracy problems with the Beretta, but then again I can't find any good info on the CZ. I'm looking for a non-AR with a folding buttstock. The Scar16 is a little out of my price range unfortunately, as well, and I already have a Krink.

I'll field any suggestions, the weirder the better.

Bren. Just because.

I'd just save my pennies a little while longer and get the SCAR.

I vote ARX. With the 10.5'' barrel it really handles well.

I'd go with the Italian stallion. The only thing that keeps me from picking one up is that for some reason I always seem to have trouble locking the bolt open. Releasing it is easy but I just can't seem to get the bolt to lock back. I know a lot of people don't like the hand guard but I don't have a problem with its feel. The rifle also has a nice balance to it and feels lighter than my DDV5LW even though I believe the two are roughly equivalent in weight.

Use the mag release/bolt stop button under the trigger guard, not the bolt release at the sides of the trigger guard.

Bren... for as cool as the ARX is, it' not built anywhere near as well as the Bren.

I think there were some mags that didn't work with the ARX because of the depth of the magwell. Plus I think the Bren looks better.

The ARX works with any STANAG magazine, which pretty much leaves out all the drums and some of the "improved" aftermarket magazines. I have personally used Beretta, Colt, Brownells, Lancer AWM's and Magpul MOE's, all fit and function without issue. The appearance is off putting to some for sure, but it does function as designed.

I will have to see if that doesn't fix my issue the next time I see one. The rifles are being sold at decent prices so I am pretty interested in picking one up as well as the Sig MCX.
