Any videos out on this weapon? I have found none.

My only concern is that the stock is not straight, it slants downward. Will this increase the recoil?

Looks like the list price is about $1295.00. IMHO if they want to cut in on the AR market they should have price it in the $750.00 range.

The stock being offset from the horizontal axis of the weapon will affect recoil slightly, but the 5.56 has very little recoil, so I doubt that will matter. What concerns me is the safety being in the same place as my old red-rider BB gun, I like the ergonomics of the AR selector switch. Also I don't like the bolt catch, it looks like it's just forward of the trigger guard...unless you have to actuate the bolt operating handle out of it's detent manually. I also don't like the $1300 price tag, and my M-forgery works just fine...besides, isn't a shotgun or pistol best for home defense? My AR is for when the zombies (liberals) come.

It has a piston system versus DI, which raises the price. It does use AR-15 magazines, so that's helpful. And .223 barely recoils, so that's a non-issue. I'd have to handle one, but it looks pretty good, and the $1300 list price would be less on the street.

Benelli is just a subsidiary of Beretta and they are trying to remarket their RX4 Storm carbine which never went anywhere.

huh, i dont really like it

roadie · 10-31-2009, 04:35 PM

Sorry, but that's gotta be one of the ugliest guns I've ever seen.

tenringdriller · 11-01-2009, 03:20 PM

agreed, ugly as sin, but IMHO form always follows function. If it's a strait shooter and cost about half as much as list, i'd buy one.

sea_chicken1 · 11-02-2009, 03:34 PM

I paid under a grand for my S&W M&P that is supposed to be one of the best out there so why would I pay 1300 for that.

Whootsinator · 11-02-2009, 03:37 PM

Agreed, Sea Chicken. M&P15 is THE best 5.56 deal out there right now. Last month you could've gotten them for $600, and then gotten I forget how many of the latest generation PMAGs. I think it was 4 or 5.

nostraboys · 11-02-2009, 03:48 PM

Up in NY the M&P's are going for $1500!

cremley · 11-02-2009, 04:51 PM

I don't think this firearm could even be considered an AR-15. The only similarity is the magazine. Everything else is almost completely different.

what's so great about the smith&wesson? mine is a hodge-podge of LRB, DPMS and Double-Star and it functions great. My buddy has a rock river and his never misses a beat.

Because the S&W is the popular thing these days. I don't think it's any better than the other mainstream AR-15 makers myself. My uncle has one and I think my Bushmaster and my brother's DPMS are as good.
