They handed me a 4lb rifle! If you are looking for a super light mountain rifle you should check it out. That weight is with a steel barrel as well. Goid caliber selection.
I won't be there, but if there is anything way I could ask a favor of you (or someone going) to pick me up whatever literature is available from Lyman on their new line of suppressors, Id happily cover postage to mail it to me. Im most curious about vendors and expected availability dates, plus dB ratings would be good info.
Nightforce NX6 1-6x24
Yes that new Nightforce 1-6 looks promising. At 10.2" length it's a bit short for a magnum action but I think it would just barely fit, but it has 4" eye relief so I think it could work for some users depending on how far back you like a scope to be.
I don't think I've seen the four barrel shotgun. I tried one of the three barrels at a public range in Salt Lake City once for fun. Some Turkish brand I think.
From what I could tell it should work fine for me and where I like my scopes mounted, ymmv and all that, but should be a huge upgrade over the 1-8 that’s only 8.7” long and would basically need an uncomfortably short LOP to use on a long action, and actually impossible to mount on a magnum action without an ugly full pic rail.
I am intrigued by the new rifle from Franklin Armory. They call it the Prevail and the key is their bolt. It looks to combine the best of push feed and CRF. They call it "total round control". It would only be for plains game as the largest caliber is .300 WSM. However, their reps said as it develops, it will move beyond short actions.
They are called their Sonicore line of suppressors. They will range in price from $199 to $299. From what I gathered from their representative at SHOT, they are licensing the design from a European company but will make them in Connecticut. They start shipping in mid-February.
Saw it at Wild Sheep. It's hard to believe it's real. I've never bought a Weatherby but considering one of the two new ones.
