New Beretta Rifle

[Giolli Joker]

Beretta Rx4 cal. .223 Remington (also called Benelli Mr1).
It's based on the Benelli R1 gas operated system and it can feed from standard NATO magazines.

I don't know when it 'll reach U.S. market.... what do you think about it?

What exactly are "standard nato magazines?"

If you mean standard AR15/M16 mags then that's great. I have a CX4 carbine in 9mm and it's a lot of fun. Very accurate and totally reliable. I'll take a good look at this Rx4 when/if it is released in the US. Looks good.

Wow, Beretta has outdone themselves. They've managed to create a gun even uglier than their Storm carbine or Storm pistol.

ATF doesn't usually allow guns that accept hi-cap mags to be imported. I think it looks like the mutant offspring of a Mossberg and a CX4.

ETA: Ahem, I read the original post again. I guess I should say it looks like the mutant offspring of a BENELLI and a CX4 instead

If only we could send this thread back in time to THR readers of 2003...

The NFA itself doesn't look so tough these days...

It certainly looks better with the stock collapsed...

I think if the price is in the $600 range and it is a reliable rifle, I might buy one...

Cause if it costs any more than that... why buy this when you can get an AR?

ditto.
I can get over the look if the price is right.

Ergonomics can make up for ugly when it comes to rifles. The Browning Buckmark rifle is butt fugly IMO, but it fits nice.
I never found the AR to be all that sexy anyway.

the short bbl helps.

EDIT:Notice how the comb height changes when the stock is adjusted. Shouldn't the comb stay the same?

 

[atblis]

We're talking about Beretta here.

You can forget about the $600 thing.

 

[Zundfolge]

If it doesn't cost less than an AR15 than its useless ... if it is less than an AR then I'd hate to be the boys over at KelTec when this thing hits the shops.

 

[HighVelocity]

Her finger is on the trigger. :banghead:

 

[dakotasin]

what do you think about it?

wow! holy buckets! i cannot remember when i last saw a gun so repulsive that not even a mother could love it! but today is a day that will live in infamy...

wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if it never made it to the u.s.

 

[pauli]

good god that's ugly. if there weren't obvious evidence to the contrary, i'd swear it was a photochop of about three different rifles and at least one shotgun.

Edited to remove non-High Road comment.

I know the quality will be better, but it reminds me of a Hi Point carbine. If I'm paying Beretta prices, I want a better looking rifle.

 

[IrvJr]

It looks interesting...

I kinda like it too, even though it has sort of a weird organic shape to it. If it's reliable, reasonably accurate, and not too expensive I would be interested in it. It looks even better with the Italian spokesmodel holding it (even if her finger is on the trigger)!

 

[Sactown]

OMG!! My eyes, my eyes!!! That's seriously freakish looking. Doesn't flow at all!! Dang, just take parts of other guns and throw them in the blender!!

I'd still buy it though, but it would need a non-pistol grip.

 

[ZenMasterJG]

Looks like theres some weird doohicky on the front of the triggerguard.

... That or the triggerguard is just butt-ugly.

 

[boxcab]

Nice

I like the look, not as nice as the Cx4 Storm though.

[Harry Tuttle]

the top image has what looks like a US legal 16 inch barrel
and Beretta is in Maryland building pistols...

that thing is quite hideous,
i'm sure it freaks Sarah & Diane out more than it bothers us.
And thats a good thing!

 

[Raygun]

So what does the "x4" mean here? In the two pistol caliber platforms, it was supposed to signify compatibility with four different cartridges (9x19mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W and .45 ACP, presumably). Does the Rx4 follow the same idea? If so, with which cartridges?

Gah, the thing is difficult to look at for very long.

 

[MDG1976]

Ugly???
This thing is very nice looking. How many ARs do we need anyway?

 

[english kanigit]

Absolutely fugly! No soul, kinda like a block...




I WILL take the booth babe though.
