The Gun Pimp Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Day one - what's new? Loads of mag fed shotguns for the practical guys, a new target scope from Minox, a new joystick front rest for F Class - and Leupold forgot to bring their new F Class scope!

Scotch_egg Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Minox had a stand at the shooting show. The chaps were laughable. I tried asking questions and had to give up in politeness. Prices compared with kahles and I know where my money will be going. (Check out the SKMR ret) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Apologies I am referring to the British shooting show. I am in need of a press pass for IWA. No one invited us at Ukv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sorry to miss you (and esp Jamie),Bianchi. Did you ask for me? That must have been my allocated pee break.... Ewen Well, it was a spur of the moment idea whilst passing by. The others were occupied with the hoards of visitors at the booth and I couldn't detect the right accent behind the counter :-). Better luck next time (or at Bisley). Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Day one - what's new? Loads of mag fed shotguns for the practical guys, a new target scope from Minox, a new joystick front rest for F Class - and Leupold forgot to bring their new F Class scope! Day two - yet more 'tactical' shotguns! Also plenty of tactical rifles but the prices - with a Sako TRG costing around 3K and even the CZ costing £2500 a custom build suddenly looks good value. Even the Chinese (Norinco) have a tactical rifle and Kalashnikov have jumped on the bandwagon as well! Discovered another joystick rest from Italy and a nice FTR bi-pod as well.

The Gun Pimp Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lots of night-vision stuff and thermal imaging plus video cameras that work through the scope recording what you shoot. Hunting and police use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 There is a trickle on the net/you tube-eg shooting show report-2 minutes but did have the (very nice) NF 'competition' scope and an (ugly) mauser-You do get a feel for it's size/ presentations,though. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I did not go this year as plod are not paying may expenses now and to be honest the IWA has been the same old, same old for the last couple of years and there is only so many pairs of green wellies and green gentlemen's hunting crap I can stand looking at. The only thing I missed was having a chat with Chris Reeve and buying one of his knives. I hope the Brits and especially Gary C and Ewen had an excellent show.
