Shot Show - what would you like to see?

[Dacos]

Not going this year but I'm curious what each of you would like to see if you were attending. Perhaps by listing each manufacturer and product, some in attendance would be kind in supplying info (+ pics!).

So here's my top 10 list:

1. Sigarms 55x rifle for the U.S. - what does it look like, is it up to snuff with the Swiss-built gun, are there unique American advantages/disadvantages, etc.?

2. Sphinx Arms - rumors have it that the Sphinx 3000 will be introduced in .45 caliber at the Show.

3. Walther SSP - MSRP, weight, why were the sights placed to the rear so much, and what grip materials will be offered?

4. Any new Sako Custom shop rifles planned for '06 or beyond?

5. HK P3000 impressions...

6. Durability of Leupold's RX Digital Laser Rangefinder and optics quality

7. Any new Steiner products?

8. Lever XLR Series rifles - true advantages over previous rifles are???

9. Is Korth going out of business (or at the very least stopped new U.S. imports) due to the USD-Euro exchange rate?

10. Is Colt going to continue solely to rely on gov't agency contracts or are they (in the foreseeable future) introducing a civie-marketed product?

The new Winchester 1894 takedown rifles! I hope they are still going to be manufactured.

2. Sphinx Arms - rumors have it that the Sphinx 3000 will be introduced in .45 caliber at the Show.

I would be tickled pink if Sphinx would just repair the 2000 series pistols in the United States.

1) I'd like to make sure Ruger isn't planning on adding internal locks to next years revolver line up.

2) Curious about the SIG 55x.

3) Wondering if SWFA will have the XOTIC prototype scope on display

4) Wondering if Glock will ever release the carbine that was talked about, oh, 8 years ago

5) the HK 3000, as well as the HK45

6) There is some talk that SIG will be making a more "economical" version of the x5

Anyho9w, rumors about in the gun world, and I'm just looking forward to seeing what is true and what isn't.
