Guns

Noreen had a new gun here at SHOT Show. If you are not familiar with Noreen they make big bore AR styled rifles. Like their Bad News line that is available in 338 Lapua or 300 Winchester Magnum. They have a slightly smaller AR style rifle that is chambered for 30-06, 270 Win or 25-06 Remington.

Sauer has three new rifles in their 101 line for us to check out at SHOT Show this year. The 101 line is Sauer’s lower cost line. That is not to say that these are cheaply made, they are far from that. The stocks and the finish are usually a bit more pedestrian than the higher end lines but they shoot like the best of the best.

German Sport Guns (GSG) was at SHOT Show 2015 showing off what maybe their coolest product yet–an MP40 in the original 9mm caliber. GSG makes an MP40 now, but it is in .22LR. The new 9mm will have a certain historic appeal, albeit a dark one. Click here to read the details.

If these Armalite ARs don’t look familiar, it is becasue they are all new. Armalite has overhauled the line. They were one of the few companies at SHOT this year to come out with a total redesign. They re-envisioned all of their AR pattern guns, and are working on the rest of the catalog. And so far, we like the new direction.

The news from Cabot is welcome, for sure. They’re putting out a value line of 1911s now that cuts some of their previous prices in half. They may not have as many cosmetic extras, but these guns are smooth and rack like their more expensive brethren. Check out what’s new at the top of the 1911 food chain.

Mossberg has gone big for 2015. They have 5(more than 5 really) new products that they launched at SHOT. We spoke to Linda Powell about the Patriot line of rifles, check out the video for some details. But what about the other 4? Here is a brief summary of them. Look for full reviews in the coming months.

It wasn’t all that long ago that we announced the debut of the R51. This was a gun that almost stole the show last year at SHOT. But the launch was–how do I put this–less than stellar. In fact, it was down-right ugly. Remington went back to the drawing board with this one, and they have a new version ready to roll out.

Cimarron is a well respected name among those who know their 19 century replicas. The company is very innovative. They understand the market well enough to provide guns for those who want historical accuracy, shooters who want speed, and they still manage to put out great guns for the rest of us, too–the ones who prefer a bit more Hollywood in our six-guns. Here’s two new guns for 2015.

Kingston Armory had a couple of intriguing rifles at SHOT Show this year. How does a .22 LR Garand or M14/M1A style rifle suite you? Well Kingston Armory is in the process of making them. These guns look and feel almost exactly like the real thing, but the rimfire chamberings will be much easier to shoot.
