Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Master_Blaster: It's highly underrated, IMO. Too bad the ARX-200 is being held back. I've been looking into .308 ARs and the lack of parts interchangeability is disturbing... It's not like how it is with the AR15 at all. Might as well avoid that whole .308 AR mess altogether and just go with another platform that's completely unique. |

@556Cliff
yes, by yellow I meant FDE and it's my first SBR. I was really surprised how small/light it was. Under $900 when Tavors are like $1500. 20 years from now they'll probably be as rare as the AR70s. We are in a golden age of semi-auto guns. |

Quote HistoryBeretta obviously has other priorities.
I guess I don't get it. They were hot to bring a semi 160 (100) into a saturated 5.56 rifle market. Conversely, in a scant BR market where the FN SCAR 17 goes for ~$3K, you'd think they'd be jumping in with both feet. I bought 2 ARX-100's, & I'd love to buy 2 matching set ARX-200's. HEY, BERETTA!?! DID YOU CATCH THAT? I'M NOT BLUFFING. I'M DOWN FOR 2. IN FACT, I'LL EVEN DOUBLE THAT UP & PURCHASEA TOTAL OF 4 OF BOTH TYPES (100 & 200), JUST TO ADD FURHTER INCENTIVE. WHAT DO YOU SAY? |

ARX200? That don’t make sense since so many countries have gone to the 5.56 or AK47. That cuts into the Beretta’s profit margin. I always thought war was about getting folks to kill each other but maximum profits as well.

Beretta should release one as a 10.5 in pistol, because that rear stock portion seems like it would be easy to replace with one that incorporated the sba3 brace.

The BR market needs more offerings. FN sells the Mk17 for +$3K while Beretta sits on the sidelines. I don't get it. |

Pretty sure Beretta has given up on expanding the ARX100 in its current form...just saying. I doubt we will ever see a factory ARX100 pistol...it would be cool...with a tailhook.

I was talking to the GM of the local gun store today. I asked about the ARX and he said that he had received numerous requests but didn’t have any in stock. He went on to say that he had contacted Beretta and they said none were available and didn’t they expect any more in the future. On the way out the door, he said “wait a minute, I might have one in the used section”. We found one that looked new and had a price tag of $999.00 on it.
If anyone has any contacts or friends at Beretta, now might be the time to call and check status on new stock. |

Academy has the best deal on the standard black rifle, and a regular FFL cannot order one in at a price to match. This has been discussed multiple times in this very thread.

Shipping would have been like 23 bucks (shrug). That's not much, honestly.
I was really close to buying one but I have absolutely no need for one and there are definitely some optics I "need" more. |

With the number of 100s out there now, I'd wager there'd be serious interest, esp considering how well the 100 performs. |

The 200 will have to compete with;
Scar 17 MDR Tavor T7 Galil Ace XCR-M PTR Bren heavy Every FAL Every AR10 clone. Most of which, where applicable, thier 5.56 baby brothers enjoyed a hell of a lot more success than the ARX. Not only just sales success, but also after market support success.....something the ARX got none of. It's a far stretch to expect the 200 to gain enough success to earn the investment needed by Beretta to release the rifle for the USA market. It sucks, I really liked my ARX, but the writing was on the wall when there wasn't even a new ARX at the Beretta booth at shot last year. |
