Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles New for `09

Seen at the SHOT show:
Remington will be offering in their UMC line a 17 Fireball w/25gr HP, at 3850fps
Forster now offers their version of a bushing/bump die; smallest currently offered was .20 cal
Savage is now offering the 250 Sav in their Weather Warrior and Classic lineup.
Marlin has expanded their X7 bolt gun offering to include a short action (XS7), but so far only cartridges w/0.473 bolt face.
Lapau will (again)have their 222 brass available soon, but no other new offerings.
The CZ527's with flush magazines are easier to carry and look at, but no new cartridge offerings.
Not much new in bullets or cartridges (varmint-wise).
Burris has a pair of 2x12 scopes out.
Hornady now offers a cartridge concentricity gauge, and this one allows tweaking the bullet to adjust runout.

Mulerider: Great report from the Shot Show and enjoy yourself down there!
I am particularly interested in the Burris 2x12's! Those could be great night Hunting/spotlighting scopes!
Also it will be great to have the LaPua option for 222 brass!

What about the CZ's, new smaller magazine or a whole new lower floor plate?

Just bought one and hate the looks of the magazine on it.

New Burris:

All new bottom metal and magazine, if I recall correctly.
For "standard" CZ 527's, you can get the triggerguard/magazine tweaked here:

I've scene that, but thank you nevertheless. Curious to see what the factory is offering up and if existing rifles can be converted?

Hillbillybear: Thanks for the link to the Burris 2x12 variable scopes!
