George,

Jim Brockman was there, and the "JimSquare" rifle is inching toward availabliity. The first right-hand prototype is getting its finish now, and we are waiting for MR to ship the left-hand action (standard length, magnum bolt face, H&H magazine box). These are .458 Lott rifles.

It seems the CZ3 project is not making any of the other projects happen more quickly.

Anyone here go? I met Marty from Teppo Jutsu, and JoePA there. They had some seriously cool stuff on display. A-Square was there, they are reintroducing their .400 Pondoro as the .400 DPM(dual purpose magnum). Using .41 Mag handgun bullets, you can plink with it(or shoot animals that weigh under 1000 pounds) rather cheaply. Interesting concept. Alexander Arms and Leitner Wise were there as well. Steyr is introducing a 50 BMG bolt rifle, and now has their own US importer. Also introduced the .460? Steyr, which their new .50 will also be chambered for.

Has anyone seen and handled the Ruger 416 Rigby at the SHOT show? According to a picture I saw, it looks to have a very nice piece of maple. Thanks!

It was a nice rifle, but the stock on my .375 was nicer than their display gun

No, I didn't. The Montana Rifle actions were there, I'm pretty sure they will have a left handed version of their PH action. A-Square was there, but that's not really news. I didn't see anything else left handed, and honestly, I didn't look specifically for it either. Sorry George.
