Hopefully it will reach our shores, though I expect it will be priced well above anything produced domestically.

Wowzer

The Tikka version will be more affordable.

I'll keep my Rock Rivers......

65 years behind the curve.

Special 'precision' ammunition which will make the logistics managers REAL happy!

7.62x51 NATO, really? this is all they could come up with? Sheesh!

Just a pinch under $600,000,000 (that's million by the way). Small countries with smaller armies don't require huge budgets to supplement their military desires. And the budget amount includes the adds, ups and extras just like the US kits do.

Highly doubtful it will reach our shores any time soon. Beretta will be sure to control the strings on this since they obviously believe they now have a superior product.

If you think you have to have one of these, I suggest you contact one of the best US custom builders and get one which is made just for you personally.

The lack of innovation in modern firearms design is astounding.

Cool.

Tbh if sako can make a AR10 that is as reliable as the big guys (kac/lmt) for a decent price I’m excited. I may not buy one but it would be a good addition.

If you read the release statement you'll see that these will be manufactured and supplied to the selected troops in kits just like they are in the US. Complete kits will most likely run in the $10,000 - $12,000 at least. This includes the usual; scope, magazines, night vision, armorer parts, training and support. The cost may be higher depending on Beretta leveraging the profit.

If you look at what the Finns did while upgrading an AK47 to a Valmet, and can dream that they can do half that to an AR10 then i am all over it, even knowing some of my money is going to Berretta.

Now there is coming also AR-15 rifles for Finnish and Sedish military.
