Looking for a new scope? Meopta makes some of the best. These are the clearest, most feature packed scopes out there. This Czechoslovakian glass maker sets the bar for quality, and they offer numerous configurations. Meopta is the company the other scope makers come to see at SHOT Show. Check out what’s new for 2015.

Probably the most enlightening conversation I had at SHOT Show 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, was with Barry Covert, an attorney who specializes in Constitutional law, including the First and Second Amendments.

We got a chance to speak with IraqVeteran8888 at SHOT Show 2015. What a genuine dude! We talked about open carry and the constitutionality of NFA items.

Until recently, when I thought of an air rifle I usually pictured something akin to a BB gun and the little silver CO2 cylinders. I know there has been a history of bigger bore and more powerful air rifles. Lewis and Clark had one with them for example. But modern air rifles are pushing the envelop and the chronograph on what can be accomplished with compressed air and AirForce is leading the way.

The Troy PAR, or Sporting Rifle, is an odd gun. The pump action, AR inspired rifle has some exquisite engineering, and lives up to Troy’s reputation for quality and accuracy. And now they’re releasing the gun in other calibers. And if that isn’t up your alley, the little PDW just might be.

TrackingPoint makes rifles that don’t miss. It is a tremendous concept. Tag your target and pull the trigger. When everything lines up again, the gun will go bang, and whatever is down range is going down. How far do you want to shoot? And how much do you want to spend? TrackingPoint can handle both.

Ploymer80 makes 80% lower kits. Now they’re making them in .308, too. How easy is it to put one of these together? We’ll find out. By the time you read these words, they should be getting ready to ship. Who wouldn’t want to cut their own AR-10 style lower?

If you’re considering purchasing an AR-15, odds are you’ve looked into Daniel Defense. If you haven’t, you should. Their guns are a cut above. Their dedication to producing their own pieces and parts places them in a separate class of manufacturers, and allows them much tighter control of quality. and it shows. They’ve just released a new competition rifle that’s bad-ass, and they have bigger things coming this spring.

Stag Arms is known for their no-nonsense black rifles. These are hard working guns that privilege performance over fashion. Now they’re out into 9mm. But Stag isn’t content to offer yet-another-pistol-caliber-AR-pistol. They’re making full-sized carbine, and stretching out the performance of the 9mm.
