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.

SHOT Show 2026, the biggest gun industry trade show, kicks off Tuesday, January 20, 2026 in Las Vegas and runs through Friday the 23rd. 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. The FieldSet turret system provides great repeatability and tracking while offering ease of use and configurability, allowing shooters to convert from capped to exposed dials and custom Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) dials.
Magne-Tech Magnetic Scope Mount
This innovative Magne-Tech scope mounting system allows you to rapidly change optics without tools and not have to fuss with scope ring alignment. The Magnetic QD Scope Mount Set features a quick-detach mount system that allows you to instantly attach/detach your riflescope without losing zero. This allows shooters and hunters to transition quickly between different setups. This item is not cheap — the Magnetic Scope Mount retails for $349.99.
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.
Gunwerks ENDEX Folding Rifle System
The Gunwerks ENDEX Rifle System is designed for hunters who want elite accuracy without serious weight or bulk. With this lightweight, folding stock rifle you can get “premium performance with packable portability”. With barrel lengths from 16″–24″ and a folding stock that collapses to 28″, the ENDEX is a travel-ready platform that allows easy chambering changes. Featuring a user-changeable barrel interface, modular bolt and magazine system, and compatibility with magnum cartridges like 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 PRC, and 28 Nosler, the ENDEX allows quick barrel swaps so you can switch chamberings in seconds. 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.
Integrator Hunting Vest with Quick Release Rifle Holster System
The Integrator Hunting Vest is a lightweight rifle carry system engineered for easy carry and rapid deployment. Produced by Saltstone Hunting & Outdoor, this Integrator system features a “One Sec Ready” quick-release mechanism that provides fast rifle release in the field. The patent-pending ergonomic harness design ensures balanced weight distribution, while the rugged MOLLE webbing allows attachment of matching accessories: backpack, ammo pouch, radio holster, tripod carrier, and more. Priced at $349.99, this Integrator Hunting Vest is made from high-quality materials for durability in extreme conditions.
Kini Safe Alert
The modern Kini SafeAlert is a compact wireless motion sensor that signals if a firearm, safe, or storage area is moved or opened. The SafeAlert sends real-time alerts through SMS, email, or optional iOS push notifications and requires only Wi-Fi and a phone. There are no subscriptions, hubs, or tracking required. With over a year of battery life and IFTTT compatibility, Kini SafeAlert adds an effective layer of security to any safe, lockbox, case, or nightstand. It mounts easily with adhesive or a steel tether and can be moved between items at any time. The $75.00 price is quite affordable.
Real Avid Ratchet Rest Adjustable Height Shooting Bags
Real Avid soon will offer the world’s first precision height-adjustable shooting bags.

Featuring an integrated ratcheting system with Accu-Click™ technology, these adjustable shooting rests allow one-handed, click-by-click height adjustments while maintaining a stable shooting position.

SNAPS Interactive Hearing Protection
The SNAPS (Superior Noise Attenuation Protection System) electronic plugs offer high-tech hearing protection. SNAPS active earplugs block harmful noise like gunshots while amplifying subtle sounds. To ensure comfort, SNAPS use custom earmolds that fit the precise contours of the user’s ears. SNAPS employs a digital processor that users can program. SNAPS utilizes a patented sliding switch to allow you to choose between full protection and full environmental awareness, all while offering maximum protection from impulse noise. SNAPS also offers BOOST MODE, a unique feature that can add 6 dB to low volume sounds.
Victory VCI Long Gun
Rust Prevention Storage Bags
The Victory VCI gun storage bags provide impressive, military-grade rust protection. The maker claims these handy bags protect long guns from rust for 3–10 years using advanced Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) technology, with zero maintenance needed. There are no drippy oils, no silica packs, no mess — just drop your gun in the bag and forget it.

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.

If you are looking for a versatile, well-crafted semi-auto .22 LR pistol, here’s an option you should definitely consider — the SIG Sauer P322. Introduced in 2022, this .22 LR rimfire pistol that should be popular with SIG’s centerfire handgun owners and anyone who wants a quality polymer-framed .22 LR pistol. The optics-ready P322 offers excellent ergonomics and 20+1 capacity, making it good for cross-training and fun rimfire shooting. It is available in both standard and suppressor-ready versions for $429.99 at Palmetto State Armory.
This VIDEO explains the features of the new P322 (Loud Volume — turn down at work):
The new P322 was designed and built by SIG Sauer in the USA. It has many premium features, including an optics-ready removable rear sight plate allowing installation of a red dot optic without adapter plates. The P322 offers ambidextrous controls, interchangeable flat and curved triggers, and fiber optic front and rear sights. The P322 even comes with a threaded barrel adapter making it suppressor-ready right out of the box. And with a 20-rd magazine for 20+1 total capacity, the new P322 is the highest-capacity .22 LR pistol in its class. (And a mag extension is offered for 25-rd capacity).
Though it may look like a striker-fired pistol, the SIG P322 is a hammer-fired, single-action-only design (the hammer is enclosed by the rear of the slide). The P322 is blow-back operated with a fixed (non-tilting) 4″ barrel. This helps contribute to excellent accuracy and reliability.

SHOT Show 2026 kicks off 16 days from now in Las Vegas. The biggest gun industry trade show on the planet, SHOT Show will showcase a huge variety of new products including firearms, optics, electronics, reloading hardware, ammunition and more. For today’s Sunday GunDay article we feature seven new (or nearly new) rifles that will be on display at SHOT Show 2026. You’ll see a wide variety of long guns here, at all price levels — from $300 to $7999. This Sunday showcase features bolt guns, semi-autos, and lever-action guns offered with a huge selection of chamberings, rimfire and centerfire.
The Smith & Wesson (S&W) Model 1854 Stealth hunter is modernized lever-action rifle featuring a black finish, optics rail, and threaded barrel. This combines the slimness and easy cycling of a classic lever-action with the ability to mount modern optics and fit brakes and suppressors. The Stealth Hunter is currently offered in four chamberings: .30-30 Win, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .45-70 Govt. The 45-70 delivers significant stopping power for big game hunting.
The updated Ruger American Rifle Gen II “Prairie” is a modern hunting rifle with nice features including a Cerakote coating on the receiver, bolt handle, and barrel. This rifle also includes a patented bedding block system with free-floating barrel and a Ruger Marksman adjustable trigger. This is a good value with a $729.00 MSRP.
Savage has released a pair of “Timber Tactical” rifles in matching green laminated stocks. The A22 is a semi-auto available in .22 LR only. The B Series Timber Tactical rifles are offered in three rimfire chamberings: .17 HMR, .22 LR, .22 WMR. These look like a good option for a plinking rifle or for someone looking for a small varmint rifle. We might get the A22 for rapid-fire steel target rimfire matches, while for shooting ground squirrels we’d opt for the B-Series in .17 HMR. CLICK HERE for detailed American Hunter review of both Timber Tactical variants.
The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) was introduced in 2002 by Hornady as a high-velocity, rimfire cartridge derived from the .22 Magnum case necked down to .17-caliber. The .17 HMR gained popularity among varmint hunters and target shooters for its good accuracy and hitting power out to 200 yards or more — all with low recoil and relatively low cost (compared to centerfire ammo).
Most .17 HMR ammo runs 17-grain or 20-grain hollow-point or plastic-tipped bullets at speeds around 2375-2550 FPS (lower for 20-grainers). Though lightweight, these small projectiles do deliver a powerful impact on small game while maintaining low recoil. Compared to the .22 LR, the .17 HMR offers superior ballistic performance, with flatter trajectories and higher energy at extended distances. It’s good for shooting prairie dogs, ground squirrels, sage rats, and other small critters.
The Savage 110 Magpul Scout is a new, versatile rifle with interesting features. With a modern Magpul Hunter stock and a 16.5″ barrel it is relatively compact and fairly light. It boasts a long rail on top of the action plus AR-style sights. It ships with a factory muzzle brake which can be removed for placement of a suppressor. Both black and FDE (flat dark earth) stock colors are offered. NOTE: MSRP is $1099.00 but dealers are selling Savage Magpul Scout 110s for under $820. (See Bud’s Gun Shop.)
The Proof Research Tundra TI-X is a high-end ultra-lightweight hunting rifle, with a 1/2-MOA accuracy guarantee. Priced at $7999.00, this is one of the most expensive hunting rifles on the market. But you do get a titanium action, a carbon fiber stock, and high-tech carbon-wrapped barrel. The Tundra Ti X sports an adjustable TriggerTech Special Trigger and BDL-style magazine. A wide variety of chamberings is offered with barrels ranging from 20 to 26 inches. Listed starting weight (with shorter barrels) is 6 pounds, 5 ounces. Five different stock appearance types are offered: Green Granite, Green Jungle Camo, TFDE, Black, Black Jungle Camo.
The new Model 307 Alpine ST is light-weight, carbon-stock “backcountry bolt gun” built on Weatherby’s newest bolt-action rifle platform, the Model 307. Meant to complement the historic Mark V and Vanguard lineups, the Model 307 action is a 2-lug, fully cylindrical action compatible with aftermarket accessories. Model 307 is designed to accommodate a wide variety of stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts. Weatherby teamed up with PEAK 44 to produce an ultra-light rifle that can own the range and dominate in the field. The PEAK 44 Bastion stock weighs in at just 24 ounces and uses a proprietary 3D-Hex recoil pad to reduce the effects of recoil. The lightweight, spiral fluted barrel delivers good accuracy and comes with Weatherby’s recoil-reducing Accubrake ST.
Savage RXR22 Semi-Auto Rimfire
Chamberings: .22 LR Rimfire | MSRP: $299.99
The Savage RXR22 is a new budget-priced semi-auto rimfire rifle. This is a good choice for plinking and small varmint work. It features an optics rail on top, a short rail on the forearm (for bipod mounting) and a detachable 10/22 compatible rotary magazine. This is designed to compete with the Ruger 10/22 with better bolt/chamber access and a better stock trigger. The RXR22 has a 16.25″ barrel and weighs just 4.6 pounds without optic.

Golden Bullseye product awards are selected by the staff of the NRA’s American Rifleman and American Hunter magazines, with multiple categories recognized by each magazine. The selections are then reviewed by NRA Media management. To qualify for consideration for a Golden Bullseye Award, the product must have been: 1) Recently introduced; 2) Innovative in design/function; 3) Tested by a NRA Magazine/media staffer; 4) Reliable in the field; 5) Recognized as good value; and 6) Styled in a manner “befitting the shooting and hunting industry”.

The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) was introduced in 2002 by Hornady as a high-velocity, rimfire cartridge derived from the .22 Magnum case necked down to .17-caliber.
