SHOT Show 2015 - ELR-related: Day 1
Accuracy International - confirmed re new site MIAs: AS50 (semi-auto) is gone but "possibly" a version coming back; AW model replaced by AT; AW50 replaced by AX50; and AX338 still available (i.e., you do not have to opt for the multi-caliber model, AXMC)
Ashbury Precision Ordnance (APO):
Misc - they are looking for a .50 BMG action supplier (prior supplier "declined" to fulfill their open orders)
VX action (for CT-based actions):
• For rifle builds and for stand-alone sales; rifle builds (375 Super Sport) starting the week of Jan 26th
• Order thru their Custom Shop; allocations split between rifle builds and stand-alone sales
• APO design manufactured by Stiller's Precision; support Rem 700 footprint triggers but they are working with David Tubb on integrating his T7T double stage
• Pics will follow on my website this weekend (late Sunday).
Brugger & Thomet (B&T, Switzerland) - APR338 Sniper System (338 LM) now available to US dealers thru their US operations (B&T USA). Company PDF - http://produkte.bt-ag.ch/pdf/TS-APR338.pdf Pics will follow on my website this weekend (late Sunday).
Gemtech - adding a .338 LM-capable suppressor model (the "Arrow"), shipping in Q2
Manners Composite Stocks - added:
• MCS-T7 ("more traditional style grip with midsized forend" - similar in appearance to their T3 but with a large butt hook - the largest they offer)
• Elite Tactical models in "Moss" and "Swamp" patterns
• Elite Hunter EH5/5A ("trimmed down version of the T5/5A... (with) narrow forend and compact butt section; 5A version with the "new lightweight aluminum/titanium adjustable cheek hardware from LRI")
• Elite Hunter EH6 ("designed to be our smallest, lightest mountain stock; very compact, rounded bottom, more traditional straight pull but just as straight and stiff as the rest of the lineup.")
• Elite Hunter EH7 ("old school safari stock designed for the CZ 550B action; 100% carbon fiber and strong enough to hold up to any big bore")
• Elite Hunter EHTA Tikka ("adjustable version" of the current Tikka stock; with the "new lightweight aluminum/titanium adjustable cheek hardware from LRI")
• EHF1/EHF1A ("folding versions of the EH1", adjustable and fixed cheek versions)
Primary Weapons System - their MK3 series model in 338 LM has been discontinued.
Rock Creek Barrels - found out that their .375, .408, and .510 barrels have 8R rifling. As previously reported they are again taking direct orders.
