DOUBLE YOUR FUN
Or, in case you yearn to be Stewart Granger and carry a double rifle, the Blaser S2 Safari is a very interesting and practical gun that comes in .375 H&H, .500/416, .470 Nitro Express, and .500 3-inch. Its barrels, rather than being welded to a rib, are free floating, the sights are the best I've ever seen for a dangerous-game rifle, and what looks like a safety tab behind the top lever is actually the cocking piece. This means that you can carry the rifle uncocked and completely safe, and when the moment comes, just shove the tab forward and have at it. Or don't, and die. FAX 410-604-1498 (no, they don't list a phone number); blaser.de

This year's SHOT Show was not, to put it mildly, noted for lots of new stuff. Nonetheless, there was no shortage of interesting rifles that are not new, and which you will sure as hell not see at Wal-Mart. --DP A-Square Tyrannosaur Blaser S2 Safari Savage 110 Savage Model 12F Lazzeroni Global Hunter NULA Model 20 Marlin XL-7 Montana Rifle Company Winchester Model 70 |
