SHOT Show is one of the biggest trade shows of the year among ALL industries.

This is the 9th largest trade show in the USA, promoting an industry that supports over 380,000 jobs and generates over $26 billion in wages.
Savage Revamps Multiple Rifle Models
As displayed at SHOT Show 2026, Savage Arms has updated its rifle line-up, including the Savage 110, signaling a major refresh across multiple platforms. While specifics are still limited, these changes point toward improved features and modern refinements throughout the lineup. This video features GunsAmerica Media Editor True Pearce, who recently tested many new firearms at Industry Day at the Range.
Century Arms ATA ALR — Affordable Precision Rifle
At SHOT Show, Century Arms showcased the new ATA ALR Tactical Rifle. Chambered in .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor, this modular rifle comes complete with adjustable aluminum chassis and muzzle brake. This could be a good starter rifle for PRS/NRL competition that does double duty as a hunting rig. And the ATA ALR is just $1099.99. That’s a great deal — you can pay that much just for an aftermarket chassis system.
Smith & Wesson New Metal-Frame Handguns
Smith & Wesson showcased many impressive new handguns at this year’s SHOT Show. This video covers some very impressive S&W handguns that feature aluminum and steel frames. The first pistol is the S&W SPEC VI with aluminum frame, ported barrel, and pre-installed Aimport optic. Next the reviewer covers the impressive steel-framed HD series pistols — both standard and competitor models. With good ergonomics and triggers, these are great for action pistol games.
NEW Nightforce NX6 Scope Family for 2026

NX6 options include: NX6 1-6x24mm, 2-12x42mm, 3-18x50mm, 4-24x50mm, and 5-30x56mm. NX6 scopes are designed for wide field of view and good clarity.
