Garmin has introduced a new, very advanced laser rangefinder that raises the bar in terms of hand-held ranging technology. The new Garmin XERO L60i Laser Rangefinder represents a major breakthrough with key functions not found on other rangefinders. This XERO L60i unit has onboard ballistics to help calculate your hold. And there are onboard temperature, barometer, and humidity sensors. And the unit even has geo-memory that can tag a sighted location with GPS. But all that sensor tech and sophisticated ranging comes with a price. This Garmin XERO L60i unit has an MSRP of $2499.99. That’s $1000.99 more than the highly-regarded Leica Rangemaster CRF MAX rangefinder ($1499.00), and it is $1650.99 more than the excellent Leica RangeMaster CRF Pro ($849.00).
Notable features of the new Garmin XERO L60i:
High-resolution, full-color Overlay Display
Very sharp visual optics with 32mm objective and 7X magnification
Ranging out to 2000 yards for trees and out to 1500 yards for animals
Laser Locate feature to set GPS waypoint on previously ranged objects/animals
XERO L60i can access Applied Ballistics solver with AB Quantum Garmin App
Can range up to 1400 times with just two AAA Batteries*
This official Garmin video covers the notable features listed above.
This Garmin video shows how to employ XERO L60i advanced features in the field.

* The Garmin Xero L60i chronograph is powered by two user-replaceable 1.5V AAA lithium batteries, providing an operating life of approximately 1400 shots or ranges (based on a one-second range followed by a 10-second display). The unit is designed with an IPX7 water rating and operates between -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F).

New Trends in Suppressors — Elimination of NFA Tax Stamp Fee
Thanks to the Trump Administration, the expensive cost of a Tax Stamp for a Silencer/Suppressor has been eliminated. You still have to fill out paperwork, but suppressors are now MUCH more affordable. The $200 NFA tax stamp for suppressors (silencers) and other items like Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs) was eliminated effective January 1, 2026, meaning the monetary fee is now $0, but the registration process through the ATF (forms, background checks, fingerprints) remains mandatory. The change significantly lowers the cost barrier to owning these items, making them more accessible, but does not remove them from National Firearms Act (NFA) oversight.
The elimination of NFA fees is creating a huge growth in the suppressor markets. At SHOT Show 2026 several suppressor makers have showcased innovative designs and affordable options. This video reviews Dead Air Silencers and the cutting-edge technology behind their most innovative suppressor designs with lightweight titanium construction. Highlighted in this video are the RXD910Ti and RXD22Ti, highlighting their advanced materials, impressive sound suppression, and multi-platform versatility. Also featured is the Nomad Ti OTB, an over-the-barrel design.
Evolution of SIG Sauer’s M7 Military Rifle — Updates
In this video, TFBTV’s James Reeves chats with SIG Sauer about the SIG M7 rifle and what has changed since the M7’s adoption by the U.S. Army. While the M7 has already entered service, SIG explains that the platform is still evolving through the Army’s Product Improvement Effort, driven by real soldier feedback rather than a ground-up redesign. Updates focus on reducing weight, shortening the system with an 11-inch barrel, refining the suppressor, and improving handling without walking back the performance goals of the 6.8×51 cartridge. This conversation breaks down what was changed, why it was changed, and how the M7 continues to mature as the Army\s next-generation service rifle.
New High-BC Sierra MatchKings and New GameKing Bullets
Sierra has released a large selection of new match and hunting projectiles. There are new GameKings, 7 new tipped MatchKings, and two impressive new all-metal MatchKings — .22 Cal 77gr and 6mm 105gr. The new 105-grainer MK caught our attention. Sierra claims that its new 105gr MatchKing is the highest BC 105-grain bullet available, delivering an unmatched blend of speed and high BC. Sierra says the new 105gr SMK (non-tipped) offers the BC performance of heavier bullets while maintaining the velocity advantage of a lighter projectile.
Beretta B22 Jaguar .22 LR Pistol
The team at All4Shooters.com spotted a cool new rimfire handgun, the Beretta B22 Jaguar. This new blowback semi-auto handgun is an innovative chassis gun. Controls are ambidextrous and you can even choose left-side or right-side ejection. The mechanical system is Ruger-type, with a bolt that is cocked by operating the two rear serrated ears. The double-stack magazine has a capacity of 15 rounds. The standard B22 Jaguar pistol is priced at $699.00, while the B22 Jaguar Competition, featuring match barrel, compensator, and thumb rest, is $999.00.

Interesting New Products at SHOT Show 2026
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 has many new products coming out in 2026. Many impressive new handguns have been seen 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.
MDT New Ultra-Light Chassis — Just 3.2 Pounds
In this video MDT Product engineer Josh Botha reviews the new MDT DRT lightweight chassis. This was designed for lighter weight for easier carry in the field by hunters. DRT stands for “Dead Right There” and this models was designed for “precision night hunting”. The chassis bare weight is just 3.2 pounds a significant reduction compared to previous MDT ACC chassis systems.
Ryan Cleckner — New Seekins SIC Multi-Caliber Sniper Rifle
Ryan Cleckner is a respected gun journalist and former Army Sniper marksman and Sniper Instructor. In this video, at the 1:00-minute mark, Ryan spotlights the innovative Seekins SIC rifle crafted specifically for U.S. Special Operations. This rifle is designed to allow quick and easy barrel/bolt/magazine swaps so you can shoot multiple cartridge types with the same rifle. The Seekins SIC rifle is built to withstand extreme environments while letting the operator rapidly select and swap calibers to meet mission criteria. The $8900.00 Seekins SIC is a “purpose-driven, modular system” — not a chassis retrofitted to accept a barreled action.

Industry Day at the Range is a unique event. Gun industry representatives are able to view, inspect, and shoot scores of new rifles, shotguns, and pistols provided by 200+ manufacturers from around the globe. In addition, new optics and shooting accessories are on display. Hundreds of media members and tech personnel visited the range on 1/19/2026 to test a wide variety of new firearms. There were many notable, innovative new rifles, pistols, and optics on display.
Conditions were good this year, with bright skies and temps in the high 60s. Winds did pick up in the afternoon. Still most of the shooting was at targets inside 50 yards so those breezes didn’t stop the show. It did make it more challenging to hit the longer range rifle targets. Still, media members were excited to see the scores of new rifles, pistols, and shotguns on display. See Range Day Map.

Over 2700 exhibitors will showcase thousands of new products at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum which together provide more than 830,000 net square feet of displays. The official SHOT Show Product Planner offers a “sneak peak” at 235+ new-for-2026 products for hunters and shooters. Here are a dozen cool new items from the SHOT Show 2026 New Product showcase (product profiles are based on descriptions provided by the manufacturers).
Nightforce NX6 New Scope Family for 2026
Nightforce’s new NX6 riflescopes offer lightweight configurations with an impressive 6X magnification range across the series. 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.

Monolithic Integral Suppressed Barrel (MISB) from SWS Rifles
The Monolithic Integral Suppressed Barrel (MISB) from SWS Rifles offers outstanding noise reduction. These barrels feature integrally suppressed baffle stacks, cut directly into customer-chambered barrel blanks. This utilizes the volume of the barrel on top of the suppressor baffles to capture as much gas as possible. Compared to a rifle shooting the same cartridge but with a screw-on suppressor, the SWS MISB system is 3 to 5 dB quieter. That’s significant.

Every rifle is hand-tested, zeroed, and ready before it leaves the shop. The ENDEX boasts an advanced machined chassis and NX2 receiver for strength but low relative mass.
Revic Acura BR10 Ballistic Rangefinding Binocular
These Revic Acura BR10 laser rangefinder binoculars are expensive at $2945.00. However this 10×42 laser optic offers impressive performance, ranging out to 8000 yards on reflective surfaces (2800 yards non-reflective, 2200 yard on animals). Designed to deliver unmatched clarity and performance, the BR10 sets a high standard among laser RFs. Featuring an intuitive heads-up display, the Acura BR10 puts all critical data on one screen — ballistics, environmentals, and more — so you can stay focused on the shot.

Forum member Jacob spotted this simple, but effective set of scope ring inserts on the Brownells Website. With these inserts, you can use a scope with 1″-diameter main tube in 30mm rings. Non-marring, matte black Delrin sleeves surround the scope tube so it can fit larger-diameter rings. Each sleeve comes in two parts for easy installation around your scope tube. This way you can use the same 30mm rings for all your scopes.
Ring Reducers are sold as front/rear kits. Cost is $16.99 for the Delrin 30mm to 1″ converters, item 084-000-091WB. There are also sets that reduce 30mm rings to 26mm, and 1″ rings to 3/4″ or 7/8″.
Note: These Brownells units simply function as plastic bushings. Unlike Burris Signature Ring inserts, they do not allow you to “pre-load” windage or elevation. If your rings are misaligned, the Brownells Ring Reducers won’t correct that problem.
