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).
It is now Day Two of SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas. There are huge crowds visiting the thousands of display booths in the “miles of aisles” (19 acres to be precise). Over 52,000 people have registered for the event. This year’s SHOT Show encompasses two facilities — the Venetian Expo AND the new Caesars Forum. Combined, these facilities provide over 830,000 net square feet of exhibit space. The two trade show halls are connected by an elevated walking bridge.

Today, as part of our Day Two coverage of SHOT Show 2026, we feature videos and images of new rifles from Smith & Wesson, CZ, Century Arms and new chassis systems from MDT. Other major makers, including Beretta, Bushmaster, FN, Remington, Rossi, SIG Sauer, and Tikka have many new guns on display at SHOT Show 2026.
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.

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 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.

Are you seeing unpredictable changes in Point of Impact on your target? Think you may have a scope issue? Well maybe not — when was the last time you checked your BARREL?
Yes scopes do fail, and scope bases/rings do get loose. But sometimes problems with erratic POI shifts are caused by a LOOSE BARREL. This issue came up a while back in our Shooter’s Forum. One member complained that his zero was shifting from day to day — by as much as two inches at 100 yards. He was convinced he had a scope problem, based on erratic POI:
“I think my scope loses 1 to 3 MOA per day. When I shot my rifle Monday it was dead on. On Tuesday it was 1″ low. Then on Wednesday it was 1 or 2″ lower. I don’t get it. — the elevation knob never touched. Scope will track and return to zero that day perfect. Yes EVERYTHING has been checked, nothing loose. What is the chance the erector tube spring has gone south? For the record this is a Vortex GE. Never had a bad scope, but this has me wondering”. — LB
On Forum member told LB to send the scope right back to the manufacturer. Two other members suggested mounting the scope on a different rifle to test. Good advice. That’s generally a smart strategy before you conclude a scope has gone bad…
Could Problem Be the Scope Base?
Two Forum members, ExPiper and Dickn52, suggested checking the scope base, recounting their past experiences with troublesome bases. This was intelligent — anyone with a POI problem should check all the optics attachments:
“Went crazy one day chasing my impacts on a 100-yard target. Shots would group fine for three then go nuts for 4-5. I cranked and un-cranked for about an hour. Then I reached up and the base wobbled on the rifle. Removed scope, tightened base screws and back in business.” — Dickn52
“Years ago I had a problem [where] shots were climbing with almost every shot. I was blaming the scope. However, when removing the scope I noticed that the 20 MOA base was cracked and getting wider with every shot. Needless to say I replaced the base and the problem was solved. — ExPiper
Eureka Moment — The problem was the BARREL, not the Scope
There were many helpful suggestions, but member PirateAmmo steered LB to the real problem — a loose BARREL: “We had a problem on a home-built AR-platform rifle once, barrel was loose a tad…”
Member Snert chimed in: “Yep — I had a PPC that suddenly went 19″ low. Picked up gun off bench by barrel and felt a wiggle. I tightened the barrel and the POI went 19 inches up”.
Problem Solved — Barrel Tightened up and POI Back to Normal
The gentleman with the POI problem took the advice of PirateAmmo and checked his barrel. BINGO! Low and behold, the barrel WAS loose.
LB posted: “Barrel loose by about 2%, checked it twice before and didn’t find it the first two times”.
After LB re-tightened his barrel, his rifle started shooting normally again. No more shooting low by 1-2 inches. Problem solved. The fix didn’t cost a penny and now LB doesn’t have to send a perfectly good optic back to the manufacturer.
Lesson learned? Check ALL the variables before you assume a scope has gone bad. Along with the barrel, also check your action screw tension, and of course the scope base and rings.
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.
Sherri Jo Gallagher, the second woman in history to win the NRA High Power National Championship, sports Eye Protection at Camp Perry. The first lady High Power Champion was Sherri’s mother, Nancy Tompkins.
In response to a Bulletin article about Protective Eyewear, one of our Canadian readers posted a personal story. His account demonstrates the importance of wearing eye protection whenever you shoot — no matter what type of firearm you are using — even air rifles. We hope all our readers take this to heart. All too often at rifle matches we see shooters, even some top competitors, risking their vision by failing to wear eye protection.
Eye and Hearing Protection are now MANDATORY for Highpower Rifle competitors and Pistol shooters in all CMP-affiliated matches. The 2020 CMP Highpower Rifle, Pistol, and CMP Games Rulebooks all contain the following rule: “All competitors and competition officials are required to wear appropriate eye and hearing protection when on shooting range firing lines during highpower rifle or pistol firing. All competitors must comply with this requirement before they can participate in a CMP sponsored or sanctioned competition. Competitors are responsible for selecting their eyewear and hearing protection.”
Eye Protection — Lesson Learned by Nicholas from Canada
As a boy on a mixed farm on the plains the first shooting stick I owned was a Red Ryder BB gun. My Dad bought it for me as I showed a keen interest in the shooting and hunting sports. I was about 9 years old at the time.
We had literally thousands of sparrows in our large farm yard and they liked to roost on the steel railings in the barn loft. I took to slowly thinning out their ranks by flashlight at night as these little winged pests settled in the farm buildings.
One evening as I slayed sparrow after sparrow in the barn loft — with about a dozen farm cats following me to consume these easy meals, I fired at another bird centered in my flashlight beam.
However, my aim was a bit low — and the copper pellet hit the steel beam square on. Instantly I felt a sharp pain as the BB bounced back and hit me squarely between the eyes on the bridge of my nose – drawing blood from the partial penetration into the skin. A half inch either way and I’d have lost an eye!
Never, never, never shoot at any target with a steel background with any firearm, even a BB gun – is the hard lesson I learned, and wear the best shooting glasses that money can buy!
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT!!
Editor’s Comment: Among competitive pistol shooters, the use of safety eyewear is universal. You’ll never see Rob Leatham, Julie Golob, or Jerry Miculek competing without eye protection — for good reason. The handgun sports’ governing bodies effectively enforce mandatory eye protection policies. We wish the same could be said for competitive rifle shooting. We often see benchrest, High Power, and F-Class competitors shooting without eye protection. We’ve heard all the excuses, yet none of them trump the safety considerations involved.
We recommend that all shooters and hunters employ eye protection whenever they use firearms or are at a location where live fire is taking place. You only have two eyes. A tiny bullet fragment or ricochet is all it takes to cause permanent blindness in one or both eyes. As rifle shooters, we place our eyes a couple inches away from a combustion chamber operating at pressures up to 70,000 psi. I know quite a few guys who will religiously put on safety glasses when running a lathe or a drill press, yet the same guys won’t use eye protection when shooting their rifles — simply because it is “inconvenient”. That’s nuts. It doesn’t matter is you are a cub scout or a multi-time National Champion — you should wear eye protection.
I will give you a personal example. A year ago I was shooting a 9mm pistol. One of the cartridges had a primer burst outward blowing small particles, some brass, and a piece of the pistol’s extractor right back into my eyes. Thankfully I was wearing good wrap-around safety glasses. No injuries at all. But without those safety glasses, this could have been very serious. I always wear safety glasses with ALL firearms. Shown below is the same kind of primer blow-out I experienced, but with a .270 Win rifle cartridge.
Be wise — protect your eyes. To learn more about eyewear safety standards, and to learn about the latest options in ANSI Z87-certified protective eyewear, read our article on Eye Protection for Shooters.

NRA Media offers a series of 40 informative videos about the Science of Shooting, covering a wide range of topics, from eye dominance to long-range ballistics. These videos feature high production values, with super-slow motion segments, as well as helpful computer graphics to illustrate the principles covered.
The videos are narrated by Jessie Duff, a top action pistol shooter (and the first women ever to achieve USPSA Grand Master status). Jessie is assisted by talented shooters such as Top Shot Season 4 Champion Chris Cheng. There are forty videos in the Firearm Science Video Series. Here are five NRA videos, with links to others below. You’ll find all 40 NRA Firearm Science Videos HERE.
Eye Dominance — How to Determine Which Eye is Dominant
Host Jessie Duff and longtime shooter Krystie Messenger demonstrate how eye dominance affects aim and teach you how to determine your dominant eye in this edition of Firearm Science. There are very simple tests you can do to determine your eye dominance. This Editor is right-handed but left-eye dominant. All competitive shooters should check for eye dominance. If you are cross-dominant, you can alter your head position or put a paper patch on one frame of your shooting glasses.
Eye Protection — Effect of Different Color Lenses
No matter what you’re shooting, eye protection should always be worn. But with so many choices, what should you wear? In this edition of Firearm Science, two-time Olympic trap shooter Corey Cogdell explains lens color options for protective eyewear. Different colors may be selected according to the light conditions and the sport. For most rifle shooters using magnified scopes, clear lenses are probably the best choice, except on very bright summer days.
Iron Sights vs. Optics
Host Jessie Duff and shooter Krystie Messenger demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of using iron sights and optics in this edition of Firearm Science. For AR-type rifles, choosing the right option depends on the intended use of the rifle and the rules of competition. For example, a “Standard military Rifle” for CMP competition must have iron sights. But current NRA service rifle competition (and CMP unlimited military rifle class) allows scopes. Olympic smallbore shooters and Palma shooters have shown that extreme accuracy IS possible with sophisticated target sights. Below is the iron-sights Palma rifle with which John Whidden (Whidden Gunworks) won NRA Long-Range National Championships.
