True velocity has been on the cover of G&A twice now. First article was many paragraphs about the single digit deviation. 2nd time was the Sierra bullet thing, but the official announcement of the commercial 6.5 creed and .308 is at shot.
Tiny little dot in those things is useless to old eyes! I'll take a Big Dot or Trijicon HD front sight any day.Come on gramps, it's 2020.

I think they offer 3 and 6 MOA dots so the latter might be ok.

One of the manufacturers attending this year's SHOT Show Pop-Up Preview was Washington state-based Icarus Precision. They specialise in quality machine products not just in the firearms sector but also in the auto industry too. They had their ACE Aluminium frame for the SIG P365 and P320 on display.

SHOT Show: The Winchester 1895 125th Anniversary Model - The Truth About Guns
Winchester is making another run of the 1895 lever-action, a classic of their production history. Check out the 125th Anniversary model from SHOT Show...
www.thetruthaboutguns.com
Earlier this year, Winchester Repeating Arms announced the return of the Winchester 1895 to production, and I made a bee-line to their SHOT Show booth to get a look. Unfortunately, they didn’t bring the standard 1895 and I had to settle for handling and checking out their 125th Anniversary model, a SHOT Show special edition.
Granted, it’s gorgeous, so I can’t complain too badly about not seeing the standard production model. The standard edition is blued, with a walnut stock, as lever guns are intended to be made.
Not every gun has to be black plastic, you know.
For those who don’t know, the Winchester 1895 was something of an oddball in their lever-action catalog, as it was invented so that modern smokeless powder cartridges with spitzer bullets could be used without issue.
Instead of a tubular magazine, it employs an internal box magazine that holds – depending on the caliber – up to five rounds. It was designed, as the best guns usually were, by John Moses Browning and was a popular model in its initial long production run, which lasted until 1940.
Winchester periodically reissued it, which is what they’re doing now.
The current model features a rebounding hammer, which bounces to half-cock after striking the firing pin, preventing the hammer from hitting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. A tang safety is also added, and the lever loop is hinged for faster cycling.
The current models are only offered with sporter model fore ends, so anyone wanting the full-length furniture will be out of luck. The sights for both models are a flip-up semi-buckhorn rear sight with a gold bead front sight post.
The stocks are straight grip for both models. The 125th Anniversary model features gorgeous walnut in either Grade V or Grade VI, depending on what wood is on hand when the one you see or buy is built. The standard model makes do with Grade I wood.
The 125th Anniversary model has a nickel finished receiver, with beautiful floral engraving, and a blued barrel.
Calibers available are .30-40 Krag (in case you want to charge up San Juan Hill…and who doesn’t?) .405 Winchester (in case you need a big medicine gun for lions, and who doesn’t) and of course, God’s Own Rifle Cartridge, .30-06, which the model I handled was chambered for.
While the 1895 is a top-ejecting receiver, it’s drilled and tapped for a scope.
The 1895 in many respects makes an excellent hunting gun for medium ranges…but I don’t know that you’d want to take this thing anniversary model out in the field. I know I wouldn’t. This is a wall gun…it’s just too beautiful to get dirty.
I love the 1895. It’s a beautiful rifle, and certainly an example of John Browning’s genius. However, the $2499 price tag is a steep price of entry. Then again, this isn’t really a gun for the typical shooter wanting to pew-pew in volume at short range. It’s a throwback to when there was a lot more craft in gunmaking than mere production.
Like I said, not every gun has to be tacticool. We love the ones that are, but there’s still room for the ones that aren’t.

BTW, .30-40 Krag was not a bad cartridge, it's much like .30-30, but better range. It's pretty much obsolete today tho.

I would say closer to a .308 Winchester.
You can push 150 grains at 2700 with modern powders. I’m not sure what the original military loading was though.
Yeah, but I'm not sure how much this lever action can take. The older loadings is can, but modern ones... IDK and the fact is most .30-40 guns are made to shoot the old military loads, not modern ones.

The 1895 was chambered in 30-06 and similar cartridges. I’m sure it can handle it. Looking up the pressure of the old 30/40 loads and modern loads they are listed at 40K per for modern per Hodgdon which is right in line with the originals. Pretty impressive what modern powders can do at the same pressures.
I love the 30/40 Krag I just wish brass was easier to find.

And it has to load off stripper clips, like the original Russian contract guns.
The folding thing has been around since gen1. Someone made an aftermarket piece. I didnt own one, but saw pics.Integrally suppressed Kel-Tec SUB2000, that lets the handguard twist so it will still fold in half with optics mounted. Kewl!
SHOT Show Range Day: Integrally Suppressed KelTec SUB2000 - The Truth About Guns
◀Previous Post Next Post▶ KelTec was quietly showing off an integrally suppressed SUB2000 prototype at SHOT Show’s Range Day, and it was a huge hit. For obvious reasons. The folding, lightweight 9mm carbine is a super handy little gun, and suppressing it within the footprint of a 16-inch...
Finally someone did it. The dumbest gun related part since that pathetic AR buttstock where one could insert a Glock into.
If there's only one part of the rifle where you should avoid moving parts at all cost, it's the scope mount. Seriously, you've got to be a clueless dumbass to come up with an idea like that.

THE HENRY X SERIES : FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
Since the original concept gun of Henry’s X series debuted at NRAAM 2018, interest has been so high that Henry made the X Series a reality. One notable improvement in the receiver of the production Henry X Rifles is they all have a King’s gate. Chambered in .357/38, 44mag/spl, ..45 Colt, 45-70 and .410, these are the first rifles from Henry to be chambered in pistol calibers with a side loading gate. All X models have threaded barrels (The .410 is threaded for removable chokes).
Though Henry typically does not come to SHOT show, they sprinkled a few X Series rifles around to exhibitors, and sent out an announcement the first morning of the floor show. Team TFB was on it, and ran into a handsome .45-70 chambered Henry X at SilencerCo’s booth.

[SHOT 2020] The new Henry X Lever Action in .45-70
Equipped with one of SiCo’s Hybrid .46 cans, the Henry H010X (The official model number for the .45-70 X series rifle) was a nice blend of traditional and tactical. The Henry X sported fiber optic front and rear sights, in green and orange respectively. The sling studs are sunk into the buttstock and the fore-end. The fore-end also sports a small section of pic rail at 6 o’clock for accessory attachment, as well as M-Lok slots at 3 and 9 o’clock.

Personally, this author is most excited about the Big Boy X models.

Time to upgrade my stamp game. Well played, Henry.

BAYONNE, NJ – January 21, 2020 – Henry Repeating Arms, the leading lever action firearms manufacturer, is introducing a highly anticipated new product line today with the X Model series, a concept that was first teased at the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, TX. All the firearms included in this new product launch are designed from the ground up to bring unparalleled versatility and utility to not only Henry’s line of rifles and shotguns, but the lever action platform in general. All five models are now available nationwide from licensed firearms dealers with an MSRP across the board of $970.00.

[SHOT 2020] Henry Model X lineup
Anthony Imperato, President and owner of Henry Repeating Arms says, “The sheer volume of positive feedback we received about the concept guns we brought to Dallas was incredible, and this type of strong feedback is what tends to drive our product development plans.” Imperato continues, “It’s exciting to kick off the year with such a highly requested line of firearms and finally make these guns a reality.”The X Model series consists of the Big Boy platform, chambered in .44 Mag/.44 Spl, .357 Mag./.38 Spl, and .45 Colt, a lever action .410 shotgun, and another rifle chambered in .45-70 Government. All five models sport durable and lightweight synthetic furniture with a solid rubber recoil pad on the pistol-gripped buttstock, Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots on the forestock, and integrated sling swivel studs. The matte blued steel receivers utilize a side loading gate to keep the removable tube magazine loaded and they are all drilled and tapped to accept an optics mount. The rifles are all threaded at the muzzle end with a 5/8×24 thread pitch to accommodate a suppressor or other muzzle device. The shotgun’s smooth bore barrel is threaded internally for a removable invector style choke and contrasting fiber optic sights adorn all of the X Models with the .410 shotgun variation using only a front sight.

There is some interesting technology here in theory, but wondering if all that HUD info is distracting in real use. Will be interesting to see this mature, but the current abysmal battery life is a pain, even if it has a quick swap rechargeable battery. I'd rather have a "set it and forget it" battery set up.

The precision rifle goodies were abundant at SHOT Show this year, but when I swung by the Manners booth, my jaw dropped. This year at SHOT Show, Manners Composite Stocks released their newest product, the PRS-TCS(Tunable Competition Stock).
