For the first day post on airgun news at the 2016 SHOT Show, we have some overall photographs of the show, together with more detail on a couple of significant announcements from Crosman.
One is that Remington is now out of the airgun business - Crosman will be selling Remington-branded airguns in future. This sounds like a re-run of the previous, short-lived arrangement, whereby Crosman sold Remington airguns a few years ago. It will be interesting to see how this works out going forward...
There's also a "new" low cost PCP air rifle, the Benjamin Maximus. This is basically a synthetic stock version of the long-running Discovery - the big news is that the MSRP is now just $199.99 - a price point the will make it very attractive in encouraging new PCP air rifle shooters.

And yes, there is a new Air Arms PCP. The Galahad is an attractive bullpup gun that's based on the S410/510 platform. I'll be there tomorrow to find more information, but here's a link to the separate story published in Hard Air Magazine earlier today.
