I am really interested in the PSA 570. I think that*s a pretty cool concept.
Senator Joe McCarthy was right.

Re: SHOT Show 2025
Questionable how, exactly? Have you tested or researched any of these things that you're outright dismissing? Gun manufacturers need to innovate to stay afloat. There are only so many ways you can build an AR or bolt gun before you need to come up with either something entirely new, or something to make your AR or bolt gun stand out above the others.
Are people only supposed to buy guns to support the militia? They aren't allowed to own a gun just for fun or competition?
Bolt guns not coming with iron sights has been a thing for decades. The Remington 700 I bought 25 years ago didn't come with iron sights. Nor did my Ruger m77. Just a place to mount a scope. And in the case of the Ruger, I had to buy Ruger specific scope rings.

Re: SHOT Show 2025
I remain unconvinced that there is much, if any practical utility in any of the "shiny new objects" on display at shot show 2025 that cannot be accomplished with traditional and conventional designs.
The primary reason for "innovation", in most cases, is to get the consumer to spend money that they otherwise wouldn't spend.
Insofar as iron sights having been done away with by manufacturers for quite some time is true and more's the pity. How counterintuitive that we wouldn't be caught dead with an AR15 that wasn't outfitted with a BUIS but somehow it doesn't seem to matter with a sporting bolt action rifle.
I'm reminded of the story of when Carlos Hathcock once attended a prominent gun show somewhere in Texas. He was invited to peruse the exhibit that had been set up by a National Guard Sniper Team which displayed all of their "shiny new objects" (e. g. high tech rifles and laser rangefinders, etc., etc.) and his response was "what's all this sh!t"?
The moral of the story? Spend your money on ammo and practice, practice, and practice some more.Last edited by TonyF; February 12th, 2025 at 03:18 PM. Reason: qualifier: in most cases
