I'm intrigued but am I the only one who would rather them start making the model 99 lever again?
I am surprised they did not mention the Cricket Precision Rifle. If I had a young shooter, it would be on my list.

Other than the Howdah themed pistol that is interesting and seems well done, nothing on that list excites me.
I happily await the 2017 Shot Show (just like every year).

For me, aesthetics are secondary (or tertiary) to performance. Everything I have read indicates that the Walther is leading edge performance. The trigger is said to be exceptional.The walther looks like a hi point.
Unfortunately, I don't see anything that piques my interest either.
Looks like Ruger is going to start offering the RPR in 6mm Creedmoor with a 24" barrel in lieu of .243 previously offered.

As an aside the RPR page has a reference to the "Ruger Precision Rifle Short Action Handguard"... Doesn't seem necessary to clarify that it is a short action specific handguard unless you have some long action versions of the RPR planned...

Such a disappointment. I truly think that gun designs are at a standstill. It's either some new flavor of the week AR-15, a new AR accessory, a new AR clone, or a striker fired polymer 9mm.
If anything, going back in time is the way to go. Going forward? Absolutely nothing memorable here. Where are the caseless ammo guns? The telescopic cased ammo? Electronic triggers? Lot's of room for innovation, but we're stuck with the above.
That is a wicked cool little plinker.
