2026 SHOT SHOW releases

[SodakJay]

Benelli is releasing a new Lupo model where the stock looks like it was modeled after crocs. It may be the most off-putting looking rifle I’ve ever seen.

Backfire dropped a hunting chassis in his latest video about an hour ago. It's called the Backlight 30oz $849. Looks well thought out and definitely is going to be a player in that segment.

Not UL backcountry related, but this new skeet thrower released from Caldwell looks like a hoot.

Looks nice… Adjustible LOP (12-15”), bore centerline recoil pad, light, priced below peers..

The Benelli guy was hilarious. Classic. Just classic

20 gauge a300 ultima patrol is neat. Not really moved by much else. The new Savages might be interesting. I've always respected them as shooters but never cared for their actions(rough), mags(feeding issues), stocks(heavy AND flimsy) or triggers(not a fan of bladed triggers). I really like that they're offering 22cm, 25cm and 7bc.

I'm most interested in this suppressed derringer! https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog...-derringers-better-suppressed-glocks-44825644

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.

That guy was lucky. Some people have damaged far more that their eyecups using Sig ...

I dropped my sig rangefinder at the range and bent the eyecup. Called sig and had a newer better model at my door within 10 days.

In Backfire's SHOT show recap they showed videos of it jamming during the range day

Yeah I watched the pitch and Im stilll not quite sure exactly what TRC is. In the Backfire vid he said something like "and as you extract, it shoots the empty shell out and away"............you mean like everything else?

I've got the hand held Nordic Clays thrower that Caldwell copied. It's a lot of fun. Looks like Caldwell beat Nordic to the punch with a stationary thrower. They've had one "coming soon" for a long time.

The Benelli guy in the BF video.....what a puddle of doo doo that Q&A was.

it reminds me of the meme thats been around for a long time.

A-"im going to get the new iphone"
B-"why?"
A-"because theres a new iphone"
B-"but whats better about it"
A-"its the new iphone"
B-"right, but what does it do that your old one doesnt"
A-"its the new iphone"

I have a NF 3-18x50 NF6 F1 in MIL-C on pre-order now. I'd have preferred the MIL-R reticle (or just a better reticle in general) but I'm going to try it out whenever it does come in.

 

[BAKPAKR]

I wonder if the Franklin Armory rifle comes with an ultra-accurate barrel?

 

[wind gypsy]

Holy cow. Did Benelli pull that dude out of the bar the night before?
