Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles SHOT SHOW Rumors ???

what have you heard?

what would you like?

The Remington 700 CDL SF Limited will be chambered in 25-06

I know what I want ain’t a rumor

That Ruger is finally opening a "Custom Shop". About time I'd say.

Fieldcraft 280AI?

Winchester chambers the M 70 in .300 H&H for the SHOT SHOW Special.

Winchester makes the M 101 in 20 gauge.

And last years chambering was the 6.5 creed. Might see your 300 h&h about March of 2020!

Great! I'll have money for it then!

A Kimber Super America in 257 Roberts would suit me fine

Yes....and Barrett also changed the design of the long action Fieldcraft to a 3.7" mag box. This insider info is worth about as much as you paid for it....

Just like my insider stock info . . . it's likely to cost me money

Heard there will be a new ice cream flavor for Doug to try.
And that might just be the highlight of the show

They are some pretty rifles.

The new CZ 457 will be interesting with all the changes.......Hb

It's not quite what the name implies, at least not at the start. They've announced two models of upgraded existing firearms, a 1911 and a 10/22. You take 'em or leave 'em as they come; no options available.

The 10/22 has a machined heat-treated, stress-relieved hard-coated receiver, not cast, featuring an integral angled rail, two bedding screws, a cleaning port, an additional barrel retention device, the BX trigger, a hardened machined bolt w/release., and extended mag release. The stock is painted laminate with an adjustable comb. The barrel is floated and fluted and has a brake fitted, plus the chamber is tighter than usual, but not so tight as to prevent unloading a chambered round like some Bentz chambers.

I did the math on building a similar rifle starting with a standard 10/22 and adding comparable parts, then looked at the ones made by Kidd. The homemade one would cost at least as much as the street price of the Ruger, usually more, and would still lack some of the features. The Kidd rifles start at about $150 more than the MSRP of the Ruger, and $375 more than the street price. They are very nice, especially the higher grade ones, but the price difference leaves some room for upgrading on the Ruger if it's not quite up to snuff in any way.

Bankrupt Remington is coming out with the 700CP pistol based off a 700 action and a model 7 Scout rifle with Vortex scope installed.

That's in the same vein as when Ruger brought out their SR1911. It had a lot of features you'd only find on custom 1911's or upgraded versions of more upscale brands but sold for a very reasonable price.

My hot rumor is that some as yet unnamed company (or companies) is going to bring out their Nth minor variation on their basic polymer semi-auto pistol.

Also, Lipsey's is going to offer some Ruger, either a pistol or plastic stocked rifle and most likely a 10/22, in either camo, earth tone, muddy girl camo or digital camo.

You can take that to the bank...

The Custom Shop 1911 is a tricked-out 9mm target gun. Looks nice, but the MSRP is about $2500, much more than I'd go for a fun gun. I'd much rather spend that kind of dough on another Fieldcraft, especially if they add some interesting chambering like a fast-twist .223, one of the Grendels or a .22 Creed.

So is this just a wish, or is this actually a rumor? I sure hope it’s a rumor because I would buy both.
