Rifle Scopes Anything new from the NRA show?

I spent a fair amount of time wandering around. Nothing "new." Maybe my expectations were high, like for SHOT SHOW. Positives: Got a chance to handle a number of scopes, and hear from vendors. I did that with Sig, S&B, Kahles, Vortex, Leupold, NF. Nothing like having so many vendors under one roof, and looking and handling and talking to the manufacturers. Negatives: No good swag, extremely limited "show special pricing," and the lack of some big name gun manufacturers that I would have like to have seen and talked to, like KAC, HK, LaRue.

Outside of scopes, Sig, Glock and Baretta had a good sized booth for handguns. Daniel Defense did for rifles (ho-hum), and FN had some interesting guns on display.

For me, I am not sure I would go again. 15 acres, but rather pedestrian.
 
I went to Leupold booth looking for the 7x42 F class scope only to find they had 1-2 and sold them already leaving nothing for us to see. Sightron has a new ED version of their 10-50x60mm SVSS scope that looked really nice. Otherwise everything else was already out scope wise
