Best of the SCI/Reno show
23/01/06 10:17 AM

1. Best new double offering: Searcy Classic. At $12.5K, it offers a slimmer profile than before, and comes in a downsized 450-400 version. Case coloring and wood work were beautiful.

2. Best selection of used doubles: Westley Richards. It is still possible to get a vintage British double for less than $20K, but not for long.

3. Best new book: Ndlovu by Richard Harland. It is about elepant hunting and available through both African Hunter and Rowland Ward.

4. Best new video: Buzz Charlton's "Hunting the African Elephant". It is a video that teaches elephant hunting. Most hunting videos just string together a bunch of random footage.

5. Best of the best quality gunmakers: Peter Hofer of Austria. He had a fantastic 22 Hornet double, and some equisite 4 barreled creations.

6. Best takedown DGR: Joe Smithson. It uses a GMA action. Square threads retain headspace and a unique locking mechanism makes it very easy to use.

7. Best QD scope mounts: Joe Smithson.

8. Best non-takedown rifle: Ryan Breeding. GMA action, with complete attention paid to both functionality and aesthetics.

9. Worst bullshit: A guy at the Barnes booth claimed that GS Custom's HV bullet is a copy of the Barnes Triple Shock even though the GS Custom bullet was being sold in the market at least 12 years prior to the Triple Shock making its appearance.

10. Worst ethics: SCI let Out of Africa exhibit again.
