Alaskapopo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Anyone go. I was preoccupied with the political environment to pay close attention to shot and it seems others were doing the same. Any cool new gear for us? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I didn't see anything ground breaking. I did get to fondle the soon to be released AP Custom load-2 carriers. Very nice. While I'm still loading weak hand, this AP version seemed to be most solidly built yet. The ones they had were still prototypes, I think Ryan said the production versions would be a little less beefy/lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Nightforce 1-4x24 scope is avail with a new reticle that's essentially the FC-2 w/range marks and they added a nice throw lever. Edited January 23, 2013 by ltdmstr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtielke Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Lancer had some carbon fiber shotgun tubes that looked pretty cool along with their Outlaw rifle for 3-Gun. The S&B 1-8x scope looked great on 1x and did well at the high end too. JP Rifles didn't attend so they could try to catch up on orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Giessel has a new AR handguard coming. Similar to KAC in design, but lighter. Saw a one-piece AR upper and rail combination that was absolutely awesome but the guy couldn't/wouldn't tell me who made it bc it was a prototype and not theirs. Would have bought the thing on the spot if I could. Magpul has a new AR rail cover/hand stop combination on the way. It is avail. for pre-order at Brownells.

Alaskapopo Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nightforce 1-4x24 scope is avail with a new reticle that's essentially the FC-2 w/range marks and they added a nice throw lever. Nice I saw they have a new scope with good illuminiation but its a precision rifle scope. I really wish they would come out with a 1-4 or 1-6 with a good reticle (did that here) and with daylight visible illumination. (Still have sucky illumination) Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Still have sucky illumination)Pat The FC-2 and FC-3 illumation is just a dot, and that seems to work fine in daylight. I have a 5.5-22x56 on a FN SPR (.300 WSM), and have no problem w/daylight illumination. But that's a personal thing. The new tactical scope is a 5-25x56 called the Beast. I think it has focal plane reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead-Head Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Vortex 1-6 was cool. Seemed a deal for pp of $1400. Doublestarr 3 gun rifle was pretty cool entry level rifle for TO. Priced right as well. Other than that, nothin super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm curious if the S&W M&P10 will be any good, i.e. entry candidate into heavy..... The photo I saw of the M&P10 had a regular handguard. You'll want to at least change it to a free float handguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Bushnell's 1-8.5 was in their booth. It's huge! I think it's a 34 mm tube, massive turrets, same reticles as the 1-6.5. Here's one of the few retailers with it on their website. http://www.eurooptic.com/bushnell-elite-tactical-1-85x24-matte-mil-reticle-et1624f.aspx Edited February 6, 2013 by Bryan 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Pat, it won't suit you or anyone else that wants daytime bright. Everything inside the exhibit hall looks like illumination is decent. The lighting is poor enough that non-daytime bright scopes look BRIGHT, with blooming reticles. Bushnell is not billing this scope as daytime bright, I'd say it's the same as the existing 1-6.5 Tacticals, which I've been using since last June and have grown to love.

humzai Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The ar-12 seems interesting but kinda of expensive. MSRP is $1950 for the upper $40 for the 8 round mags and best of all $3 per round of ras 12 ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Put in an order for the reflex mag carrier. 4-6 week backorder, but they are in the process of building a new factory and hope to start production soon. Orders of 3 or more get you free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Bacus Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 AP Custom had a pretty solid, fast looking, load two carrier at the FN event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I took a picture of the Bushnell 1-8.5 next to the 1-6.5. It is a bit bigger but I think it is the bigger knobs more than the tube size difference. If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will.
