This episode of the SHOT Show New Product Premiere covers a range of firearms and accessories. Key highlights include Caldwell's updated E-MAX Shadow Pro hearing protection with Bluetooth and an optional LINK radio, Browning's new X-BOLT Target Max and Speed SR rifles designed for PRS shooting and hunting respectively, and Silencer Central's Banish 46 and 338 suppressors. Leupold introduces the Patrol 6 HD LPVO scope, Winchester unveils its Copper Impact ammunition, Aimpoint showcases the Duty RDS carbine optic and Acro P-2 pistol optic, and High Point presents its expanded line of pistol caliber carbines.

Kyle Lamb, retired Sergeant Major from US Army Special Operations and founder of Viking Tactics, introduces the Leupold VX-5HD series of optics. He highlights the versatility of the 1-5x, 2-10x, and 3-15x models for various shooting applications, from tactical use and dangerous game hunting to whitetail and long-range shooting. Lamb emphasizes the optical quality, including contrast, clarity, and true color, as well as the practical features like the Guard-ion lens coating, two-turn Zero Lock CDS turrets, and side parallax adjustment.

Shane Mel from Leupold demonstrates the VX-6HD rifle scope with its two-turn locking CDS (Custom Dial System) dial. This system allows for precise long-range shots by pre-calibrating the dial to specific ballistic data, such as for a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 140-grain ELDX bullet at 2600 ft/s. The dial features a push-button lock to prevent accidental adjustments during movement.

This guide details the installation and use of the Leupold VX3's Custom Dial System (CDS) based on expert instruction. It covers the physical installation of the custom dial and the practical application in field testing for precise long-range shots. The review highlights the system's efficiency over traditional holdover methods, drawing on the reviewer's significant field experience.
