Anyone have one? How do you like it?
Did a search, nothing popped, and found a deal on one that
may be too good to pass up.
Tks

My brother bought one 2 years ago. He has not had any problems with it and I thought that it was a good shooter.

I like mine. I use it as a cheap trainer for my ARX100’s.

I have had one for several months now.
I have shot over 600 rounds of various types and it hasn't missed a lick. I've yet to clean it although I do spray it with Ballistol every so often.
Accuracy is excellent.
I added a vertical front grip and a red dot scope.
Very satisfied with it as are friends and family that have shot it.

Which mags does it use.??

Looks like a very decent 22lr fun gun.

Couldn’t resist, bought it last night. It looks different and I like that.
Haven’t found anything bad about it and by all accounts it’ a real workhorse.
Really looking forward to getting this to the range.

Proprietary iirc. They weren’t expensive. BUSA is actually pretty good about having regular sales. Got all my magz for it and my PX4’s for cheap.

I bought two for my daughters a few years ago and they have both been 100% flawless and accuracy is excellent even with just the included flip up sights. We have all enjoyed shooting them, my wife included. The magazines are plentiful and are cross compatible with the ones for Colt 22 rifles, the Colts are just gray in color. Spare mags of either kind are easy to find on sale too. As Prefontaine also mentioned, it is a great practice rifle for those that have an ARX-100 too.

I suggest going no larger than the 20 rounders given their length, especially if you are going to be shooting from the bench or prone as the 30 rounders are quite a bit longer which is why I stuck primarily to buying the 20s and also have a couple of the 10 rounders. Even when shooting standing, the 20 is as long as we would reasonably want as the 30 rounder would make it a bit awkward IMHO.

Beretta currently has the mags on sale and free shipping for orders over $50

Ten Rounders

Twenty Rounders

We can do better in the thread title than just listing the name of a weapon. Please be more specific as to why you posted the thread.


Arc.

Ordered this last week, got to the range today, color me impressed! Damn fine rifle right out the box. I slapped a cheaper red dot on it and was dialed in at 25 yds within short order. This thing ate all kinds of ammo and delivered with great accuracy, although I’d probably say the CCI standard velocity performed just a tad better.
I’d been struggling with my Savage 64 with FTFs, it’s mags etc, and became very frustrated. This Beretta solves that problem in spades. Really happy that I had the feeling that I just HAD to have this shooter!

Glad you like it! I was pretty sure you would. The only other thing I would recommend that I put on all ours and also fits the ARX-100 is this enlarged cocking handle to make it more comfortable to load and manipulate the bolt since the stock handle is a little on the thin side and also doesn't extend that far out the side so you can rap your knuckles on the side of the rifle if not careful when manipulating it. Snaps right on over the existing one.

Enjoy! Cool

Same mags as used by the other Walther/Umarex .22 tactical rifle clones, like the M4, HK416, and G36. You don’t need to buy the ones that are specifically listed for the ARX. The only difference is that some mags come in gray, while others are in black.
