I got to shoot a SOCOM 2 (.308) this last weekend... kicked like an angry mule but what fun!
Back to "classic"... I'll add my Henry 22 magnum to the list. Just gorgeous.

Gun company Beretta is tone deaf when it comes to calls for restrictions on powerful guns sold in the United States. It must be the chance to make money.
Beretta's website carried an announcement that the ARX100 is "shipping now." Beretta markets the rifle as "Italian Design -- American Built." Regardless of its origins, the gun is unusually powerful.

Looks pregnant & bloated to me.”
I thought Glocks were ugly when they first came out, but grew to love the performance.

Mr McIntyre is a ignorant, snarly little POS who clearly has an antigun agenda.
Cartridge... is that like the 'clip' where the bullets go? ;^)
Oh My God! How could you post such a scary picture without warning us first! I wish I had one, or two.
Spending that much money I’d prefer a something in .308/7.62x51, in an M1A, FAL, or HK/PTR-91 platform.
Unusually powerful?
Really?
I guess that means a .30-06 super-mega-hyper-powerful.
Happiness is a Browning 1886 lever rifle stoked with .45-70 cartridges.
“Does not include bullets, targets, wiping rags, storage crate, box lunch, thermos of hot coffee or free pass to Disney World.”
ROFL
What? No cleaning kit or carrying case? ;-)
Like that EoTech site! Did you know their plant is in Tempe?
Beretta recently announced that it is also moving to Tennessee, which is without that mountain of restrictions now seen in Maryland.
We welcome them! ;-)
Funny that when you describe the features of the biggest non-disease killer we have, the car, nary a word is said. But when you point out improvements in a gun you are tone deaf. Ultra-reliable? I know I appreciate hangfires. Ambidextrous controls? I happen to shoot left handed. Unusually powerful? Does it provide a booster assist to the bullets? Tactical weapon? Basically a semiautomatic with a detachable magazine.
Note, please, that this was published in Yahoo Finance. The author is apparently stunningly ignorant both of finance - "the chance to make money"? what the hell else would a gun manufacturer do? - and of firearms in general. Moreover, why it should appear in Yahoo Finance in the first place is a bit odd - Beretta is a privately-held company as it has been since 1526. You can't buy stock. Somebody needs to be reassigned to the celebrity pages and his editor fired.
Look out! It might have that “shoulder thing that goes up!” Makes it even more super dangerous.
They have come a long way from the M 14.

Thanks, I love it.
Looks like the SCAR-L
Just like the blacks in the inner city, they pride themselves with their ignorance.
