2024 SHOT Show

Hoping for some Ruger No.1 offered in a new selection of calibers this year. They haven't been updated in a while.

Sako 90 bringing new.magnum length actions to the product range as has been hunted at.

Any new rifles being offered in safari calibers.

New double rifles?
The Sako 90 Hunter will be available in both 9.3x62 and .375 H&H.

Christensen will be offering the Traverse in .375 H&H for $2549. Has a carbon wrapped barrel and a composite stock. It is push feed.

Winchester continues to offer the Model 70 Safari Express in a CRF in .375 H&H, .416 Rem Mag, and .458 Win Mag.

Lipsey's would not say if they were going to offer any new Ruger No. 1's this year. However (!!!!), they will be offering the Ruger Hawkeye African in .35 Whelen. In addition, they will be offering the Ruger 77/22 African in .22 Hornet. Both the .35 Whelen and .22 Hornet will have express sights and ebony forend tips.

Finally, if anyone wanted a 7mm PRC for plains game, virtually everyone was making one. Last year is was mostly Ruger in the Ruger American. This year I saw offering from Ruger (American and M77 in a composite stock), Savage, Christensen, Bergara, CVA, etc.

I don't remember seeing anyone offering double rifles other than Chapuis. Tom Leoni can correct me but I think it was the same as last year.
 
Ruger did not even bring there Hawkeye African or Guide gun models to DSC. I'm not holding my breath for them either. Far cry from the days of the Ruger RSM.
See my comments below. Through Lipseys, there were be a limited run of Ruger Hawkeye African in .35 Whelen and the Model 77/22 African in .22 Hornet. Both will have wood stocks and barrel band sling mounts.

I asked an older gentleman in the Ruger booth about No. 1s and he said we should see some later this year. Not holding my breath, but thought I'd let you know what I heard when I asked.

One in 22 would be neat for practice, but the hornet is expensive relatively speaking.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
