2018 SHOT Show (ELR-Specific): Day 2 (Wednesday, Jan 24, 2018):
See intro comments/context at the beginning of the Day 1 post. To Day 2…
Sorry (update), forgot the NNs - Drake Associates, Gemtech, GRS Riflestocks, Kinetic Research Group/KRG, Oakwood Controls, Pelican (for very long rifle cases), Precision Reflex, SilercerCo, Torre Pines Logic, and Yankee Hills Machine/YHM.
Armtech Armory - will be adding a .338 LM-capable version to their suppressor line, steel or Ti construction, $600-700 direct to user, available approximately June.
Elite Iron - was showing the new, quick-release, Picatinny rail mount for their Revolution bipod, pics to follow.
Fifty Caliber Shooters Association/FCSA (booth) - Brett Berger was showing his latest version of his super tricked out rifle/rifle stock system (not a commercially-available product, just a wealth of ingenious tech); pics to follow (also see slides of his "stock system", and its manufacture, at http://www.bergers.com/stock.html , hopefully Brett will be writing a detailed article for a future issue of FCSA's quarterly magazine, "Very High Power/VHP".
H & P Manufacturing - was showing a very unique line of suppressors (up to .338 LM), pics to follow; manufactured by 3D printing in Monel powdered metal (they may also offer in Ti); advantages are very short length (6" added to the .338 LM model) with the weight towards, rather than away from, the shooter; they expect to be shipping in 6-8 months.
LabRadar - will be adding a no-charge Android app to display screen data on your cell phone (no commitment for iPhone); registered owners will be e-mailed when the app is available (expected to be 1-2 months).
Nemesis Arms - was showing the "Advanced Nemesis Sniper Rifle/ANSR", a quick-take-down, enhanced version, of their earlier, multi-caliber (but smaller caliber) model rifles; designed to advance the line (and compete for government contracts), it was displayed in .338 NM; interesting features include a 2-pin-swap of bottom metal, ambidextrous standard, and (by ship date), their "feature-set" version of the Luth-AR MPA-1 buttstock (in aluminum); they expect to ship to commercial customers in 6-8 months; pics to follow.
Sako - has release the TRG 42A1, the A1 indicates, primarily, a new buttstock - http://www.sako.fi/en-us/rifles/sako-trg/trg-2242-a1
Tactical Imports (Canada) - was showing the Sero GM6 Lynx, a semi-auto, .50 BMG bullpup; pics to follow; a very serious, and expensive, firearm which they are shipping into the US ($12K direct to your FFL) - see http://www.tacticalimports.ca/gm6-lynx-p-3.html
Ultimatum - a .338 LM version of their action will be available in the Spring (deciding whether to incorporate into their LA design or provide as a .338 LM-unique model).
Upriser Arms - was showing an interesting chassis design (pics to follow) with dual gas pressure rods to mitigate recoil, and both a thumbhole and an offset hand grip, plenty of bling; demo rifle was in .338 LM, Defiance Deviant action.
Valdada (in the American Rifle booth) - showed the 4.5-30x56 Recom G-2 scope; this design is FFP, mil/mil, 40 mm tube, with a whopping 42 Mrads (150 MOA) of elevation; still used HD Schott glass but is being manufactured in Japan (not an IOR-built model - declined to disclose the Japanese manufacturer); expected to be available in May; pics to follow.
Victrix/Beretta - added models; Scorpio TGT (LE/Mil, including a . 338 LM version - http://www.victrixarmaments.com/portfolio/scorpiotgt/?lang=en); Scorpio MilLe (including a .338 LM version, 2018 catalog, pgs 40-41 - http://eu.beretta.com/victrix-us?__...d9470f|f4420ca4-1f90-44ab-bdf1-906968b2d89e); Tormentum MilLe (2018 catalog, pgs 42-43 - http://eu.beretta.com/victrix-us?__...39d9470f|f4420ca4-1f90-44ab-bdf1-906968b2d89e).
Wolf Precision - was showing the "secret sauce" for their "chamber cylinder system", a brass pressure ring and matching relief in the barrel (pics to follow); SA now, LA by end of '18; patented, totally proprietary design and implementation (to utilize this design you need to buy one of their rifles or their barreled action - no wildcats, only, specific, standard, cartridges that they have selected - LA cartridges as TBD).
