I'm currently in the market for a non-AR platform 5.56mm rifle, and I'm asking this because I may have a shot a being able to get a Beretta ARX-100 for around $1,300. Not quite as cheap as when Botach was blowing them out for $1100, but much better than the $1700 price tags I'm seeing most places today. However, it does sort of worry me that the hype for this gun has pretty much completely dissipated since it's initial launch. In fact I haven't even really seen anyone discussing the gun lately, hence this new thread.

So I'm looking to see if anyone has any current opinions on this gun now that it has been out in the wild for a while now. Would it be worth it at $1300? Or should I pocket the money and move on to another platform? I was really leaning towards picking up an MCX with these funds, but right now the temptation to not pass up what seems like a really good deal is strong.
