Remington etronx
Are the remington etronx systems reliable? Will it still be working say 5 - 10 years from now (assuming a fair amount of use - say 400 - 500 rounds a year)? I know that throws a lot of variables into the question, but there are some pretty good bargains on these rifles right now and I was wondering how good the bargain really is. Thanks for any input.

Reading up on this gun and it sounds like a smart piece and the elec. ignition while different makes a lot of sense.
My concern is the guns require the use of Etronx ammo. Now while you can get Etronx primers for custom loading, my concern is will the ammo or the primers be around in the future or will this be some passing fad???0 -
The rifles are great, they do what they say they will. However, the prices on the ammo keeps going up and the prices on the rifles keep going down. I think they are well on thier way to being obsolete.

Yet another example of technology gone awry. The greatly reduced lock time in no way compensates for the fact that when your battery is dead; you have a heavy club with expensive glass on it.
The Anti's thought it was just a short leap from electronic ignition to electronic discombobulation and were very excited that the Etronx had appeared; I'm afraid it will go the way of the Dodo, instead.
Might make a unique collectible someday (without a battery is it considered a non-gun?).

Thanks guys
I finally got a price on the etronx primers (approx $100 per 1000) if you can find them. No wonder that the price on the guns keep coming down. As I am more interested in shooting than expensive clubs or gun safe queens, I think I will pass on the etronx. Thanks again.0
