OFFICIAL Rokslide SHOT Show 2023 Thread

[dirtytough]

did you check to see if the barrels were even rifled?

Haha I was going to ask the exact same thing!! Trying to be good though.

 

[Tahoe1305]

Any particular manufacturers?

There are booths upon booths of suppressor makers.

The show is ending, but I can try to stop by.

Interested in rugged Alaskan Ti if they have it. Can’t wrap my mind around a 6oz Ti can that can handle pistol and 338 LM. But hey.

Hey man, I apologize, but they shut the show down for tonight. I won’t be able to make it to them, and I have to head home in the AM.

Sorry about the lack of suppressor coverage.

Roksliders,

Thanks for following along. I made my best effort to cover everything you guys asked for. I’m averaging over 25,000 steps a day!

Go ahead and keep this discussion going here, and I will do my best to answer anything I can.

I will be putting together a summary article so keep an eye on Rokslide!

I love Vegas in short stints, but I am ready to head home.

All good. No stress, my fault. Thanks for the info throughout!

Just had one 1894 and 336 displayed.

So at least it indicates they are still in production.

Did I miss it or nothing much on new suppressors?

Is that normal. I feel like we see a few new things about shot show time.

Aero is the only new can I’ve been getting hyped about

I did run into local celebrity @Slim Jim in Vegas!

How’d you get to the front of line?

 

[PNWGATOR]

How many scope manufacturers are lined up for Rokslide testing?


Crickets I assume…..

They all had an action plan in the event @Formidilosus showed up at the booth with Matt: pull the fire alarm!

Interesting. Would the glass quality line up more with the Meostars or Meopros?

I own them. Fantastic range finding binocular that actually works and works in cold weather. Hard to compare them to my MeoStar B1 Plus 15x56. Mine are the Optika LRs but in 8x54s and field of view makes up for any “lack” of quality. Edge to edge clarity is great, low light is great, range finding reticle is perfect.

The XBolt Mountain Pro looks like a cool option too, and available in 7 PRC.

The new SPR models look pretty appealing. I just wish X-Bolts had better triggers. Also, a small part of me wondered if they’d support 7mm prc right away given the support they’re trying to build for the 6.8W

 

[Footshooter]

You mentioned the Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 very briefly in one of the posts. Any first impressions compared to the 10x32 size? Thinking these may replace my older HD-R version as I am wanting to gain ballistics functions.

Thanks

Atsko’s Rapid-Rod (2 ounces)

I'm totally intrigued by this and just what I've been looking for. I wrestled with my dog for a bird this fall and dropped the hot barrel of my shotgun into the snow. So my day was done. I started looking for something exactly like this.

I definately want to know more about these too.

didnt get to go to the show but this is the new thing for guys like me that leave the illumination turned on and pointlessly kill 2032 batteries

Browning was late to jump into the 7prc game, you probably won’t see anything in stock from them until 3rd quarter. They did put a new trigger into their new long range guns hopefully they upgrade the rest of the line too.

We ordered these for the shop I work for, plan on testing it out this spring for shed and turkey season
