I think I read somewhere of big leadership and staffing changes to improve CS and win back customers. They have a big hole to dig out of - they are in between "off the shelf rifle" pricing and "custom/semi-custom pricing" - their customers may drop down and buy Bergara, Tikka, etc. or move up to a custom.

They lost me with their bs 10 years ago. Any argument about a changed culture there is negated by their consistent CS douchbaggery

Might have to get me a new 632 pocket rocket.

Aimpoint Acro (enclosed optic) that has a proprietary mount directly to a vent rib on the shotgun. Kinda cool idea

Me and some buds were going over this list of SHOT Show offerings, and were collectively underwhelmed.

Anyways, here’s a list of all the ”new’ stuff at SHOT, without any annoying videos.

I love the idea of a pork sword. I have a 308 can and stock 300BO. But the cost is what's keeping me away from it for a bit. If I want to plink silently there's 22lr, which is cheaper. I don't hunt. I don't shoot raccoons getting into my chicken coop in the suburbs. I don't "need" a tiny bolt action centerfire, but I'll be damned if I don't WANT one

I want one for saddle hunting once bow season is over. Remmy chassis pistol is unobtainable, **** Q, Christensen is way overpriced IMO. That leaves Savage and I’ve never been a fan.

I would like to try this out but not sure that I’m down for a $700 experiment.

Totally valid point. It’s Aimpoint so it’s gonna sit up there relative to price point. I’m sure it’s quality. I’m sure if it’s popular there will be cheaper alternatives in the near future.

I’ve seen very little coverage from Ruger. Anyone else in the know? What’s new for them in 2024?

It will be a quality optic for sure - no doubt about it.

What I can’t say is whether or not I really want a red dot on my browning o/u. I would have to try it out first and the MSRP I think is in the mid $700s. That’s a really steep price for something I don’t know if I’ll like. Also this isn’t a pic rail mount so I can’t move it to another long gun if that setup is not for me.
