Shot Show 2012 Part IV

It just keeps getting better!  In case you missed my Shot Show coverage: Part I, Part II, Part III. 

.950 JDJ Largest Centerfire Rifle

$40 a round, and the force equivalent to 10 .30-06 rounds at the same time, this is a behemoth!  Weighing in a 50 lbs you won't be carrying this out to your tree stand to hunt... cars?  Anywho, I'm guessing this cannon rifle probably cost several grand, and I wonder why no one thought about putting a few hundred into a better mounting system.  When it jumps off the shoulder of a big fat guy, you know the recoil is serious!

Sure Fire Push Dagger

This dagger looks like a great little "last ditch effort" knife!  I'd bet the Sure Fire name will make this blade way more expensive than it needs to be, but a nice piece of kit nonetheless. Hat Tip Soldier System

Excel Arms .30 Cal Rifle

A modern day take of the the M1 Carbine created by Excel Arms.  I have to ask why?  .30 cal is a weak round for animals (and people) and not exactly cost efficient for plinking all day long.  I feel like this is just a poor version of an AR15, but I suppose it is interesting.  The X-30R starts at about $800, and is not California friendly.  If you want a .30cal just get a vintage M1 Carbine.

Stoeger Double Defense

Hey more old guns turned tacti-cool!  Stoeger has a bad ass new double barrel shotgun, available in side by side or over under barrel configurations, called The Double Defense.  Yes, it has all the tacti-cool features you could hope for: rails, fiber optic front sight, and all tactical black!  This shotgun is billed as "home defense" but I don't think two rounds is gonna cut it when the Zombies are clawing at the door.  The Double Defense sounds like it could defend you from two clay pigeons flying at high speed.  This shotty would be better suited for making you stand out at the local "Ah skeet, skeet, skeet," and trap establishment near you.  Hat Tip TTAG

Leupold VX-R Zombie Scope

Did you know zombie items are popular at Shot Show?  The Leupold VX-R is today's zombie related item of the day.  Besides a fancy paint job and cool box, there isn't anything special about this scope.  I guess the green illuminated dot is kinda cool, but if you're hunting zombies in the forest it might blend in with the surroundings.  For $600 I would rather purchase 6 Mosin rifles...
