@@backfire no problem. I'll do you a deal - you can use the timestamps, if you make the backstop recoil pad for the MDT ACC Elite Chassis, and HS Precision and Bell & Carlson stocks 😜 The HS Precision and Bell & Carlson stocks are used on heaps of rifles so there is a decent sized market there.
I love that you and your wife are doing this together and enjoying it. I enjoy your reviews because you're real! You give honest reviews on high and lower end firearms. Keep up the good work.
Fan of yours. Already have S20 300WM and a TRG 42 338LM, but have my heart on a TRG 42 A1 next plus a SAKO 90. Just love your products. Worth every penny. Money well spent.
Canik in the handgun world is doing what Hyundai did in the automotive world a few years ago. Deciding to make high quality products that almost anyone can afford should be everyone's business strategy....
That's a poor comparison. I working in a shop cannot recommend Hyundai. They're consistent oil burners and still are annoying to work on. Get a Toyota or Honda that actually own up to their mistakes.
@@americanball_2841 The point was Hyundai saying years ago that they were committed to becoming the world's #1 luxury auto manufacturer and making huge strides.....compare that to Hyundai in the late 90s to early 2000s....they were more like late 80s Chrysler.
I have watched a lot of reviews from ShotShow, by far the best. Straight and to the point. Much appreciated. I am really needing one of the new chronographs.
Glad to see that your wife is there as backup, to stop you from wanting to purchase any new releases. The problem is, what is stopping her from wanting something for herself? Thoroughly enjoying the reviews as it seems that you are having fun together and that is one the greatest joy. Be blessed brother!
I’ve watched hours of videos on various channels and this was one of, if not THE BEST I’ve seen. Y’all covered so much ground…..I had to watch it twice. BIG thanks!!!!
Science teacher here…Cu is the periodic table symbol for Copper. If it was CU it would be Carbon Uranium which would be a completely different line of ammo!
The CVA SR80 looks NICE! Finally another modern bolt action with a good peep. That Caldwell radar is just awesome, especially for the price. Hopefully it does everything it claims because the BC calc would be cool.
I love seeing so many bolt guns in 7prc. Ive been holding off waiting for the one I want at around a grand. That christensen arms gun looks very interesting.
Loved the coverage of shot show 2024! 2 things I’ve never heard of smelling the bolt friction = Aero Precision and 3/4” groups at 500yds = random bullpup rifle salesman
@@br4nd0nh347I’ll bet your correct. 3/4 moa at 500 yards would be roughly 3.75” group. If your gonna rep a rifle manufacturer at something as big as SHOT show you ought to know the difference between moa and inches.
Liked how this video was done. Didn’t deep dive on everyone but gave a good synopsis of what’s new. Exactly what I wanted to see from shot show. Thanks!!!
Cool gear, and nice people. These are the ambassadors we need to help non-shooters feel more comfortable, less scared by what they see/read in the news, and perhaps more ppl would get interested in the hobby
The FIMS bullpup featured above at about 36:34 is my actual rifle. At a long outdoor range in CO I can pull it to 500 years within about 3/4 of an inch from the prone position. Being prone, using a bipod, and the incredible trigger this has in combination with being a disciplined shooter makes this possible. The day I was shooting at this distance there was a slight breeze (only a few mph) and my shots were about 3/4 inch right of dead center but within about 1/2 inch of each other vertically/diagonally. If the breeze could truly be isolated I think at 500yds the cluster would be even less. I did this with the Athlon scope in the video. I am going to try and achieve a video of this this summer and will gladly provide to you without breaks in the footage. I am going to put on a very high end night force optic and see at what distance I can stretch this to.
The vid I've been waiting for...thanks Jim! I'm very interested to learn more about the lighter weight Aero Precision Solus action. That's the thing that's kept me from purchasing was the weight. If they are really dropping a LB from the original action and the price is relatively similar then it's going to be a home run!
@@BackcountryApprentice I love your segments. Having a pile of nephews that are about your age, it is helpful to get your perspective on how to better help them in the field.
Unless your question was rather tongue and cheek, Cu is the chemical symbol for Copper. Which would explain why Remington named it the way they did for the CuT ammo.
The Ruger american hunter mapul .308 is a decent model with factory brake. Hopefully model will still continue its seriously heavy for anything but still hunting or bench target.
How many people who use hunting rifles have ever dealt with "the terrible horrors of swelling wood" in bad weather? I feel like it's repeated as a "thing" 100x more than people have actually practically experienced it. I mean face it.... does the gun give up in bad weather before the person gives up in bad weather? Most of us won't leave the house when it's raining.
Outstanding info Jim, thanks to you and your lovely wife. I'm thrilled that the Aero Precision Solus is coming out in long action, I've put my 7PRC build on hold waiting for that one.
Such great content. Really appreciate the hard work that you and your wife put in to producing these videos! I always love to hear Your take on each item...at a show like this you get a lot of marketing...but you put a personal spin on different features that make your content worth watching! Thanks again!
Thanks for the highlights in a condensed version. Exactly what I wanted. And man, what a time to be alive! Competition is hot right now. Love it as a consumer, but also feel like a deer in headlights. Decisions, decisions, decisions....
Time stamp 21:45. Remington CuT Ammo. The symbol for copper is Cu and not cu/CU/cU. So im sure it was just a little play on the new line of ammo's name to add the lowercase "u" to show its an 100% copper projectile.
Great job!! I really enjoyed your insight on the many different products that you covered. Firearms and accessories are taking giant leaps and bounds. It's a very exciting time for the industry, imagine if firearms were still a part of mainstream America? The competition would have even more great innovative products available for us.
Canik is absolutely amazing. Not a better handgun for under 400 bucks and it's one of the only guns to come out and live up to the hype as well as surpass it and continue to get better
4 of my favorite gun guys all in one spot. Adam must always feel like he is in the land of dwarves lol 😆 in comparison. Anyway so cool to see Jim, Ron, JVB and Adam in one spot. Thanks 🙏 for sharing this with us. I was hoping that Tikka was going to announce they added 7 PRC to their lineup. I would be interested in the CA Evoke when they get a left handed version. Speaking of lefty models and something you and the presenter skipped over is that Bergara FINALLY made a lefty in something outside of their HMR and that’s the Sierra. I am extremely interested in that one in 7 PRC. The amount of industry professionals and presenters who kept saying Caliber when the correct term is and always has been Cartridge was driving me nuts 🥜 lol 😂
I wonder when they'll begin selling those Tikka Ranch Rifles. I've been wanting an iron sight .308 and the Savage Hog Hunter was going to be my pick, but I just may hold off and wait for Tikka to get those out.
@@_cal_techie mine hasn't failed me yet either even after 2000 rounds. But just because our anecdotal evidence is positive doesn't mean Taurus doesn't have a well documented trail of QC and safety issues lol
Great opening product from Taurus.... Who would have guessed a cool looking rifle from them? Great video, thanks for sharing all the cool new gear with us "industry outsiders" 😅👍

FYI The Cu in CuT is because Cu is Copper in the Periodic Table. The capital T is for Tipped.

SO TRUE.THERE A WONDERFUL YOUNG COUPLE.
Thank you. Sooo many channels focus on the endless variations of ARs and striker fired pistols. Nice to see something covering everything
This is like a Sears Wish book catalog for the firearm industry in 2024. Thanks for the fun! 🙂
I like that there was a common theme to keep prices reasonable.
Bravo to the Backfire team.! Best reporting from Shot show 24 yet!!!
yet be the key word
I like the quick and fast approach but classic firearms is killing it imo. Not sure how they manage 2 one hour episodes each day. Editor magic
Great to see you guys!
Is Tikka coming out with a 7PRC T3x lite?
Matt Carrick, Ron Spomer, Who_Tee_Who, Joseph von Benedict, and Eric Cortina on Backfire!
Thanks for passing and stopping by our booth, it was a pleasure to see you both again! Glad you enjoyed our new products.

Have you heard of anybody coming out with a factory 22 creed in the $900-$1600 range?
As far as I know, Horizon Firearms is the exclusive manufacturer. So, you’re looking at $2k on the low end.

The periodic table nomenclature for copper is Cu, so they are playing on that. ;) The T is for tipped.
