2026 SHOT SHOW releases

[UnckleBob]

Sorta like your car, boat, atv, or modern hvac systems?

I hear you, but we don't really have an option anymore.

In September, I need to buy a new car (my daughter is inheriting mom’s very much used Honda) car for my wife. I am not looking forward to having a car payment again.

If I could buy my daughter a new 1982 Honda Accord (my first car), I would do it in a heartbeat. That car had a bulletproof engine and didn't cost a fortune to buy.

Watch bringatrailer. A like new ‘89 just sold for $32k

Was that an official statement or just what's rumored? Last I read, they used a blend of RL26 with something else. It wasn't straight RL26, or at least it had similar properties to RL26 but wasn't exactly RL26.

It was from Hornady but I don’t recall if it was on their podcast or if it was Ledzep over on the Hide that stated it.

I cannot imagine paying that kind of money for anything that relies on electronics and software.

The good thing is it’s a Vortex, if it dies they will fix or replace it.

 

[Matt5266]

Did you go?

Unfortunately one of the kids got hurt during sports didnt happen

 

[Matt5266]

Let me know when you develop a product and are put on the spot via video for that length of time, I'll happily critique you in the same fashion, just to see how you do.

Will do!

I just got this email from euro optics… but it won’t open

 

[JDMBEND]

They don’t warranty electronics at least after two years… I tried to have them fix/replace some range finders…

Revic has a 3-18X44 acura at the show supposedly. I'd love to see the specs on that one.

Surely someone can spill. If weights right and the RH2 mil reticle is as nice as the RH2 in MOA it adds another option.

I just bought a truck after having my old one for 15 years. I am still trying to turn things off in that damn thing !

It’s 32oz IIRC. It’s heavy.

@wind gypsy, did you see a weight reported on the new Impact action?

 

[Jdeck09]

I would also like to know about this. I am in the market for range finding binos that work with a ballistics app and display the dope in the bino. Shopping against the Sig ones.

But with Sig if you damage anything from an accident, you're SOL. A guy damaged his eyecups and was trying to pay for a repair and Sig told him to buy a new pair. Not covered and repairs not possible.

You would put your daughter in a car without airbags, antilock breaks, backup sensor, automatic braking, lane departure warning, etc?

Airbags, no, ABS, maybe......all the rest ABSOLUTELY

If they arent capable of successfully driving without all of the gadgets to remind them that they are driving, they dont need to be driving.

 

[Ganderzone]

Most of us here likely didn't have all the tech features on our first car and here we are. On a side note, let's keep this on track with shot show talk unless there is a new truck that was released at shot show especially for ditch hittin.

The problem with the 7BC is from its origin. Federal patented the case technology. The only reason Remington is able to provide ammo, is because its parent company owns both Federal & Remington Ammo. Thus allowing Remington to avoid patent infringement. Federal would have to drop all claims to the patent for BC to really have a chance. I've talked to a couple of ammo manufacturers and they both confirmed that right now the only people who will produce this ammo is companies that have access to Federal's patent. No other case manufacturer wants to produce it.

I did a lot of research on this cause I am in the middle of building a light weight hunting rifle. I wanted to build it on the 7BC but once you start digging in on the cartridge there's definitely a reason for caution on its longevity. Also when I reached out to a barrel manufacturer and did a little digging it seems that the BC comes from a military round that failed to get a contract. And Federal is pushing it on to us civilians to recoup their loss of investment. This is NOT 100% accurate just what I was able to determine myself from what I have access to information wise. Please do your own research into the case technology not just the cartridge. Federal themselves even stated when the 7mm BC was launched that it originally was not designed to be a 7mm. I am unclear if anyone ever got the original bullet diameter so can't say for sure what the parent is, but my guess would a 30 cal. As again from the info I have available to me is that it was originally supposed to be for machine guns, think m249 replacement.

I wish the best for 7mm BC as it would be a cool advancement in case technology. Just a lot of growing pains with that case tech right now that Federal needs to figure out if they want this to kick off like Hornady's 300, 7mm, & 6.5mm PRC.

I see the 7BC being like APS primers - an expensive solution in need of a problem. 2% of gun owners will buy one, 50% of them will get rid of it shortly thereafter. With a small market of buyers it will slowly die on the vine unless our tax dollars get donated to prop it up by our esteemed congressional representatives.

I didn't.

 

[Randy11]

It is perfectly fine for my usage. I can see my targets and laser them well beyond my ability to shoot accurately.

The best glass I own is probably in my Leica scope. It is definitely optically superior to the GPO.

If I spent days glassing hillsides looking for the tiniest detail, I would probably want (and pay for) better optical quality.

For the price I paid, I feel I got a good deal and I don't have to worry about accidentally drop testing a $2K optic with sensitive electronics inside.

Thanks for the input.

I just bought a set of range guides and am trying to decide if the glass quality is going to bother me.

The rangefinder works great, and the size/weight of the unit is crazy good.

I feel like the same could be said for the 257RPM, expensive(more-so than 7BC) solution in search of a problem. But in reality most any cartridge introduced after about 1970(maybe earlier) is a solution in search of a problem.....yet new cartridges are introduced every year, many of them are here to stay. Even 6.8W is showing significant signs that it might just survive.
