I'm here at the show. There do seem to be a lot of chassis systems on display, but I don't recall having seen any thus far that fit the micro action yet. Not to say there not out there, but I don't think I've seen one on display.
Some things I did get a chance to check out that were interesting to me were Elcan's quick switch magnifying scopes. They have three presets 1x 3x 6x (I think, may be wrong on powers) but the cool thing is that they have a simple knob located where the focal distance adjustment would normally be located on the left side of the scope. You just turn it to the mag power you want. Much easier than most scopes where you have to turn a knob on the body. The eye relief changed quite a bit as you changed power, but the scope was also set in a bad location for me on the demo. It may be less noticeable if set up in a better position.
Also in optics I liked the new Eotech scopes. Variable power, first focal plane, illuminated reticle, And the new first focal plane Nikons seemed like a very nice scope for what should be a reasonable price.
Also really like the new Mega Machine 308. Going to be their first complete rifle, and looks VERY nice. Short carrier, light weight under 8 lbs, ambi controls on the lower. Just looks like a good set up. I'm sure they're not going to be handing them out for free, but if you're in the market for an AR-10 check them out.
