2026 SHOT SHOW releases

So far, Sierra's new bullets are about the only thing getting my attention. This year seems like a lot more me-too items, gimmicky stuff, and iterations of varying utility, rather than genuinely new and interesting.

If we're including things we knew about beforehand...yes, the new Sierra TMKs are cool. The new Lyman affordable cans are cool. But nothing that has been revealed *this week* has caught me yet.

There's always hope, that the last package under the tree isn't socks...

Really curious about what company is going to be offering the Rokscope though. Haven't seen anything official yet.

I have a hard time believing the 4k price tag.
Had a opportunity to look through a prototype a few months ago and they were really good, but not 4k good. Running 4 DOF vs AB is a no go for me.

My guess is $4k is MSRP which almost nobody pays. Also, Leupold does have the no-questions-asked warranty on electronics AND glass right? For something as expensive as high-end LRF binos, knowing that you're covered if you drop them is worth something.

If I drop my $2k+ Sig 10k's on a rock I'm SOL. I don't care what the underlying algorithm is as long as I get accurate and snappy solutions out to 1k-ish. I don't think that's challenging for any of the solvers out nowadays...

Change of design? Different footprint? Tikka footprint is completely different from 700 so they have to have a separate mold anyway. Why not start with a standard Tikka mag mold. Then you likely open it up to a larger market. Only have to have one mold since the tika footprint uses both short and long mags, then you could add the aics mold later if people are requesting it. The only reason I can see for doing aics out the gate is because they've determined their primary market prefers aics with Tika and or doing an aics mold is easier than figuring out the Tikka mag mold.

When I have looked at aics mags for Tika stocks, they cost just as much as Tikka factory mags, and they are nearly always heavier and they always function without fiddling, with the exception of the 2235 round mag. As a mountain hunter concerned with weight, weight and function, I would go with the Tikka factory mags. No reason to add weight to an ultralight stock unless necessary

Its a chassis not a stock theres no mould for the action just the forend and the side plates which are cut out of flat carbon. The foreend could easily remain the same.

An aics magazine is close in width to an action so the walls are naturally thin a Tikka mag is single stack and skinny. So you have to figure how to remove all that extra material also. Without having the mag float in space. It also requires a new mag match design.

It could be done sure but theres a reason most other chassis options run aics for tikkas. You can get 3 round flush aics polymer mags that weigh pretty much the same as Tikka except Id would hazard they last way longer. In NZ atleast a aics mag costs 60% what a new Tikka mag costs.

The footprint of the action is different yes but in a chassis this is less of an issue to fix as the actions are still similar widths.

Any way its not my chassis. If you want it except for the magazine tell him maybe hes wrong and it should use standard Tikka mags. If he gets enough feedback hes open to changing things.

Im not stating he doesn't have knowledge about his product, I assume he knows it inside and out. I guess he seemed ill prepared to present it at an event like shot is what i was getting at. Maybe it was nerves, I dont know. Im not bashing the guy or company. I love new innovations into the shooting/hunting industry and seeing people/company's push the limits. Im eager to see more information and reviews on the stock then they do become available.

Fair enough mate i can see why someone from the US would see it like that.

The scale of shot is crazy for kiwis. It has more people in it than any of our city's outside the top 15ish. Kinda hard to prep when theres more people all into hunting and shooting than the nearest city to you and its your first time and your solo.
 
Came across this elsewhere, seems like it could be a good thing if it really does give the best of both worlds between CRF and push feed.
Would be curious if it uses the flawed 700 trigger since it’s a 700 action pattern or if it has some new/better trigger design.
Be cool to see Form get one for testing and put it through the Ice/Snow eval.

Had a pair crash into rocks off a tripod, basically broke off the eyepiece. Sent me a new pair. They have upped their warranty game.
