Title: American Hunter takes a look at the new rifles and optics for 2010
Post by: 2aHawaii on March 08, 2010, 08:59:40 AM

American Hunter put up a list of new rifles for 2010 (http://www.americanhunter.org/ArticlePage.aspx?id=2373&cid=58) and provides a brief description of them. I'm sure this isn't a comprehensive list, but it does have quite a few manufacturers on it.

This is one of my favorites even though I'll probably never own one.

BARRETT MFG. will offer its flagship Model 82A1 semi-automatic rifle in the company’s proprietary .416 Barrett cartridge, which produces a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps. with a 395-gr. projectile from its 32” barrel. The rifle includes a new muzzle brake design, a chrome-lined barrel and a 10-round magazine that has been modified to feed the shorter .416 cartridge. Also new is a compact variant of the Model 98B bolt-action in .338 Lapua Magnum (April 2009, p. 44) with a 20” barrel. www.barrett.net (http://www.barrett.net)

update: They've also put up a list of new optics for 2010 (http://www.americanhunter.org/ArticlePage.aspx?id=2371&cid=60). That new Aimpoint looks nice.
