HAS IT REALLY BEEN FIFTY YEARS?
Half a century ago, Savage came out with its Model 110 rifle, which was affordable and accurate and one of the ugliest firearms ever produced. To commemorate the occasion, they are making a limited run of 50th Anniversary Model 110s, and trust me, these look nothing like the originals. A thousand will be made in .300 Savage only, and they will have fancy walnut and elaborate checkering, gold inlay, Accu-Triggers, ebony fore-end tips, and a hefty price tag. If you balk at that last item, I suggest you look at what the fancy Model 99s from the 1960s are bringing. 806-233-4776; savagearms.com

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 |
