Earlier this year at the 2010 SHOT Show I shot the nicest AR I’ve ever fired. The recoil impulse was incredibly smooth, the trigger was light and crisp…. I could go on. I came back and posted a video of shooting the JP Enterprise CTR-02. JP Enterprise had a backup iron sight system mounted on the CTR-02 that I shot, and I thought it was neat. I hadn’t ever seen one locally and figured that there are other people who were also unaware. They call it the JP Short Range Tactical Sight (JPSRTS).

Savage 110 BA .338 Lapua – SHOT Show 2010
While at the Media Day at the range we got a pretty good look at the new Savage 110 BA in .338 Lapua. The muzzle break was very effective. However, the benches at that part of the range had a steel roof over them and the blast echoing around inside was painful even with ear protection. This rifle gets a cool factor rating of 10! See our videos below of shooting the 110 BA at Media Day and also some video at the SHOT Show.
JP Enterprises CTR-02 AR-15 – SHOT Show 2010
Shooting the JP CTR-02 was an eye opener as to just how nice a finely tuned and gas fed AR-15 can shoot. The trigger was amazing. The muzzle break did its job really well as there was virtually no recoil. You could easily keep sight picture and watch the bullet impact. The action working felt unbelievably smooth. This was the nicest shooting AR type rifle I’ve ever shot. The rifle has a Trijicon Advanced Combat Optical Gun sight with the JP custom reticle mounted on it. While we didn’t get a chance to really put the reticle through it’s paces we liked what we saw while shooting the gun. Check out the JP website.

Magpul MBUS backup folding sights and AFG-1 Angled Fore Grip – SHOT Show 2010
Although the Magpul backup folding sights weren’t new for the 2010 SHOT Show they are still a fairly new product and if you haven’t seen them they are worth looking at. We were impressed. The best part about them is the price point. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other brands. The AFG-1 Angled Fore Grip is new and we liked it. It was completely designed with shooter ergonomics in mind.
American Tactical California King – SHOT Show 2010
American Tactical California King
This is a California legal AR-15. Although we don’t live in California we can see why this would be a great product for someone who does. The California King allows for fast reloads while still keeping you legal. The rifle comes with a Adams Arms Piston system. This rifle is priced right! Heres a link to ATI’s Site.
