SHOT SHOW ROUNDUP
SHOT SHOW ROUNDUP
NEW GUNS!
A22 Takedown in 22LR.
There was a big trend for stowable rigs this year, and Savage seems to have hit all the marks with this version. The stock has two smartly placed storage compartments for stowing accessories and gear. Just pull the bolt back and twist the forend to split the A22 directly in half for easy storage. A simple twist is all that’s needed to lock the two halves back together. The Savage A22 is listed with an MSRP of $479.
Keltec KSG-410
KelTec entered the .410 game with the all new KSG410. At first glance, one would think it’s a KS-7, because of the smaller profile compared to the KSG. Don’t let the compact size of the KSG-410 fool you, though. The gun still touts double magazine tubes for that classic KSG capacity many of us have come to love. With 2¾-inch shells this shotgun boasts a 14+1 capacity, and a still-solid 10+1 with 3-inch shells. The grip is slimmed down as well as the action which keeps the forend trim and suitable for smaller hands. The KSG-410 will be shipping Q3 of this year with an MSRP of $495.
Bergara Crest
Bergara is now manufacturing its own carbon fibre stocks which can be found on the Crest rifle in the new B-14 squared series of rifles. The Crest comes with a deep-fluted barrel and carries the same subMOA guarantee for which Bergara is known. This gun comes in at only 6.9 pounds, with 20-inch and 22-inch barrel sizes available. The fluted bolt with black inlays adds a sleek and refined dynamic to this already incredible precision rifle. The MSRP for the Crest is $1,999 and it will be available in 6.5 Creedmor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win, and .308 Win Mag.
Patriot LR Tactical Rifle
The Patriot LR Tactical Rifle line consists of three models: the 6.5 Creedmoor (22-inch barrel), the 6.5 PRC (24-inch barrel), and the .308 Win. (22inch barrel). The stock is user-adjustable for length of pull by the use of three spacers, and the comb/ cheekrest height is user-adjustable up to two inches.
Taurus Executive Judge
Taurus added another fan favorite to its Executive line with the new Executive Judge. Like others in the Executive line, the new Judge is hand assembled by gunsmiths and has a refined look, fit and feel. The Altamonte walnut checkered wood grip and handpolished satin finish make this Judge an especially classy blaster. The trigger is fine-tuned, smooth and crisp in both single and double-action. The Executive Judge ships in a TSA approved Pelican case and has an MSRP of $949.
Chiappa Little Badger Take Down Xtreme
The newest addition to the Little Badger series of survival rifles from Chiappa Firearms. A simple knob transforms this rifle into a packable two-piece gun that fits perfectly in its floating, water-resistant tube. Weighing only 2.9 pounds, the Little Badger Take Down Xtreme offers a next-level advantage for shooters and hunters looking to achieve complete versatility packed into a minimalist design.
CVA Cascade XT
The CVA Cascade XT (X-Treme) sports weight-reducing flutes and a radial muzzle break as standard equipment. The 4140 carbon-steel No. 5 taper barrel in Cerakote Graphite Black is the heaviest in the Cascade Series, designed to provide superior accuracy capability. The threaded muzzle will also accept a suppressor. Available calibres are 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win. .450 Bushmaster, 350 Legend, 6.5 PRC, 7mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win. Mag. Unloaded weight 7.5 pounds. SRP: $850.
Ruger LC Carbine
Ruger’s breakout design, the LC Carbine, chambered in 5.7x28mm, may take some retailers by surprise. Space is saved with bolt-over-barrel configuration, and the pistol grip doubles as the magazine well. But its compact utility doesn’t end there. A folding stock and adjustable length of pull make it portable and ready for youth or adult shooters. SRP: $979.
Impulse Mountain Hunter
Early 2023 marks the release of a re-designed straight-pull Impulse big-game rifle, the Impulse Mountain Hunter. In response to customer requests for a lighter rifle that’s easier to tote over long distances in the western backcountry, Savage shaved off some bulk on the earlier Impulse, but retained beloved features like the Acu-Trigger and AccuStock. It’ll be available in nine popular chamberings for big game. SRP: $2,437.
