https://www.elr-resources.com/page16.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedShootingAnalytics They have selected and are working closely with a high-end scope manufacturer on scope models complimentary to their tech. Pics (mine) to follow.
3. Badger Ordnance - was showing their heavy duty "C1 MAX" scope mounts, shipping in March; pics and info on their FB page, https://www.facebook.com/Badger-Ordn...4076195941982/
4. Cadex - to my inquiry as to whether the previously-announced single-shot ELR rifle was built to a tighter action spec, I was advised, No; availability of the previously-announced "ammo" product line - 375 CT/1st ELR priority, 375 EnABELR/2nd ELR priority, and 338 LM/3rd ELR priority, all within 2-3 months; 50 BMG further done the line.
5. Elite Iron - updated the status on the previously (2 years ago) announced "Asset" series suppressor for the 375 CT (MSRP: $1795, shipping this quarter); noted that with enough expressed interest he would build one for the .416 Barrett.
6. Horus Vision - introduced the 6.5-40x50 "HOVR" spotting scope with TREMOR 4 reticle; expected MSRP under $2K, available in the Spring. Pics to follow.
7. Ionbond - had a sample of an AR "bolt" that had been pre-treated with their new "Superfinish" surface-prep product before applying DLC (the same process can also be used with their other coatings). The sample was semi-gloss to glossy in appearance, looked very nice. The rep said if the part started with an Ra (roughness average) of 30, after Superfinish it would have an Ra of about 10. Superfinish is expected to be available in 2-4 months.
8. Manners Composite Stocks - was showing their "LRT 2.0" ELR stock, a low volume production model with (in comparison with their current LRT/long range tactical stock) an even more extended forearm, substantial weight saving (stocks weigh 5.5-6 #), even more structural strength, and the integration of a Manners-spec'd version of Long Shot Precision's bag rider. Tom (Manners) advised that he personally layes up these stocks, that 36 have already been produced (almost all spoken for), and 40 more planned for this year. Pics to follow.
9. March/DEON - though not present at the show, I was advised that they recently introduced an MOA version of their March-FX 5-42x56 (wide angle) scope, https://marchscopes.com/scopes/d42hv56wfiml-2/
10. MDT - update on the JAE LA chassis (2nd half of '22)
11. MK Machining - got an update on the Rem 700 LA version of their MK2 bullpup chassis. It's expected to start production and deliveries in the Spring - pics to follow. I also inquired about that chassis' ability to accommodate a CT-sized action and was told that they would be willing to do custom chassis if the associated action was round, no larger than 1.450" in diameter, a single-shot, and uses a Rem 700-pattern trigger. [As best I know the smaller, single-shot version of the Stiller TAC DRIVER (the re-name of the TAC 408) is the only action that matches those requirements.]
12. Schmidt and Bender - announced some upgrades to the 5-25x56 PMII (changed to metal for some parts and added the capability to add a polarizer to the ocular (eye end). No model name change, look for the ID number to begin with 689. They also introduced the 6-36x56 PMII - https://www.schmidtundbender.de/en/d...6x56-pm-ii,-us - note that max elevation changes depending on the reticle selected, don't recall ever seeing such a spec). MSRP: TBD; availability: Summer.
13. Vigilance - oldie but goodie, was told that they are scratch-building some Windrunner M96s (using K&P barrels, will do them in .416 Barrett, 460 Steyr, 510 DTC, and .50 BMG, $8500).
