Game changer! Says so right in the title!
 Interesting read, thanks for the link, I'm a pretty big fan of all things Beretta. |

I like the MSRP around $1500, street should be around $1200.
If this thing shoots like a SCAR i.e. lower recoil would dominate the market |

I was jonesing for an ACR back in the day, but I really want to get my hands on this Beretta (even if it is kinda spacegunish).

Sounds like Beretta is clued in on the "sweet spot" for pricing, just hope that meshes with reality. At least Beretta owns this end-to-end unlike certain other AR-18-based debacles of recent years.
All together, I really like what I've read and seen about the ARX-160. |

Hell yes!
Finally! If someone releases a folding stock, piston carbine that rtakes AR mags and doesn't price itself nearly out of the market than it would be so cool! And Beretta has resources and know-how! If they keep the pricing point in that reasonable area and if they aren't plagued by the recalls that plague many new guns than I predict awesomeness. There is room in my heart for an AR and one of these. |

I am really happy about the new ETA, and the possible $1500.00 price tag. It is going to make have to think twice about the Tavor.

So is the boycott over? Don't they have some not cool views on their own countrymens ability to procure their products? I don't own anything they make yet.

With the quick change barrel system, I'm interested to see what accuracy ends up being with decent factory ammo.

good price point (hope that number is true)
I didnt give this gun much attention, Ive been wanting to get into the advanced carbine game...but price point was keeping me away, at 1500$ or lower, beretta has a winner, a certain other company needs to take notes. |

Scar prices are just now starting to be in the REALM of reasonable. IF the AR-160 comes out, you can count on the 1st year or so of $3000 pricing by FFLs.

The upgraded SF version is the better variant. It has a more resilient composite material formula & ditches the dinky BUIS of the std model for a straight flat top that you can mount aftermarket BUIS of your choice.

Of the SCAR, Bushamsters fascimilie of the Masada and the like, this rifle is most appealing to me. I will buy one once available for sure.

The Masada was supposed to be multi-caliber, but Bushy fucked us. Note that the top is a late version and bottom pic is an early rifle. Pics of the 7.62x39 caliber conversion that uses AK mags.

It looks bulky, but so far all the reports are that the looks are deceiving and it's really darn ergonomic.
The weapon has been heavily tested and fielded in combat on two continents now. |

I think they should do away with the bottom rail, slim it down and use the same mounting system for a bottom rail as they do the side rail.... also I'm still interested in what accuracy is achievable with this new quick change barrel system.
