Four days hardly seem like enough time to check out all that SHOT Show has to offer this year. In addition to handguns, many companies are introducing a new long gun — and in several cases — a whole series of long guns. Here are some that we’ve heard a bit about so far. What are you looking forward to checking out? Tell us in the comments section, below!
