SHOT Show 2014

98Z5V · January 22, 2014

Drew, I did get the email, and I got down there to see Guy almost directly. He had TWO left, and one of those was the paint-marked demo on his table. I got the other one. <thumbsup>

The Elite bipod is worth every penny, IMHO. I'm not kidding. That rotational bearing setup is badass. That feature, plus the materials it's made from - that's what makes it what it is. You see that thing in person, and you understand the cost of it right away - seriously.

I will be getting one of those.

I'm hoping more vendors will come out with items for our 308 platforms. Anyone see anything specific?

MagLula loader/unloader for 308 mags - DPMS/SR-25 version, AR-10 version, RRA version, M1A version. All bases covered.

Lancer L7 mags - those damn things are so sweet.

ProMag 308 mags in 20, 30 and 40 rounders for the SR-25/DPMS platforms.

All kinds of new rails.

There was alot there for 308 ARs.

Jesus. Talk about a ball buster. <laughs> Didn't I just say that the MRAD has an Atlas on it? Sheesh! And I wouldn't quite compare Harris to a KIA.

98Z5V · January 22, 2014

Almost forgot this - KNS Precision released a rail mount for a GoPro cam. Fits all three models of the GoPro out there.

No pics on their website yet, and I didn't get one there. Damnit.

DNP · January 22, 2014

Kia, Ford. Whatever. Atlas is nice, but the MRAD really deserves the best you can get right? Think of the bragging rights. "Yeah, that's Elite's $700 bipod on there, I can hang it upside down from the rafters..."

Aerial platform ops is where that bipod would really shine. Just cord the legs up into the helicopter cabin, and Done. <thumbsup>

You can also use it in ways that's only limited by imagination. Vertical barricade (doorway, wall edge, whatever). Extend the legs, rotate them 90 degrees, slam them up against the vertical barricade - voila! Stabilized rifle.

Aaahhhh......no.....negative.......nyet......eh-eh.....nope.....ain't gonna happen. I ain't bowing to peer pressure just for a bipod, badass as it may be, that (for the price) must be manufactured out of unobtanium. Or some other highly precious alloy. Atlas will do.................................for now.

And I'm labeled as an enabler. Uh-huh........riiiiiiiight.

If its made out of inconel impregnated unicorn bones, I'll pay $400 for one. :P

Hey, I would be stoked to own an "average" MRAD with a "basic" bipod on it, but that's me. I don't always have to own the best.

$hit, if you're skeered, just man up and say it.

I'll buy the damn thing.

98Z5V · January 23, 2014

Ron, what's the rule on glass? Your glass should cost as much as your rifle?

The Elite bipod costs TEN PERCENT of what the MRAD costs...

Perspective, dude, perspective...

shepp · January 23, 2014

All you guy debating over what the bipods made of must not watched the video the guy only said STEEL and chromoly STEEL bout 15 times :D

Tom did you happen to stop by the Krieger barrels booth?

98Z5V · January 23, 2014

I didn't, but wish I had. I didn't even find them there. That place was so damn huge, in so many exhibition rooms, and spread out over so many floors... It was nuts. I bet I honestly saw 50% of the stuff there, and I felt like I was all over the place... <lmao>

I didn't even know there was a "downstairs" until day 3... <laughs>

I've just been waiting for a chance to use "unicorn bones" in a post. Seemed like as good a setup as I was gonna get.

98Z5V · January 26, 2014

Elite Iron bipod vid - pretty good one. This is Dale, runs the place. <thumbsup>

Rsquared · January 26, 2014

Smartass!

98Z5V · January 26, 2014

Let's see you do that with a Harris or the Atlas... I'm just sayin'... <dontknow>

DNP · January 26, 2014

You know what's really cool...they sell cans too.

Had to come back to add...that saves on shipping. See, we care. We watch out for wasteful spending just as much as we pick out high dollar toys.

Rsquared · January 27, 2014

Glad to see that you're concerned about saving me some shipping charges. <laughs>

DNP · January 27, 2014

We're here to help man, just here to help.

98Z5V · January 27, 2014

You know what's really cool...they sell cans too.

Specifically talked to Dale about his cans, and attachment. VERY smart attachment system. The suppressor host/flash suppressor is threaded outside, in a similar fashion as the AAC suppressor hosts. The can itself is threaded, and screws onto the host. I directly asked if the outer threading was the same (i.e., the can threads) on the 5.56 suppressor and 7.62 suppressor. Answer: "YES! Use the 7.62 can on a 7.62, 6.8 or 5.56 rifle - we designed it that way."

However, here's the bonus - there's a thread-on "sheath" that serves as a thread protector, and kinda like the Noveske Pig - directs ALL your blast forward.
