Once again it is our pleasure to make our voting member firearms manufacturers aware of a special opportunity to feature a special edition of one of your rifles, shotguns or handguns as the 2015 SHOT Show Auction gun.
Each year the SHOT Show features a very special rifle, shotgun and handgun as a featured SHOT Show Auction gun. Past guns have typically been anniversary or milestone production guns — like last year’s one-of-a-kind Tribute to Henry rifle designer B. Tyler Henry (that auctioned for $50,825) or the first-ever Doug Turnbull Restoration 1911 pistol (which auctioned for $36,025). These guns are auctioned on GunBroker.com and, as you might expect, get excellent coverage in the trade press.
The SHOT Show gun program is administered for NSSF by Bob Delfay and the Hunting Heritage Trust. If you have a special anniversary or production milestone gun coming up in 2014 or 2015 that you would like to propose as a 2015 SHOT Show gun, we hope you’ll contact Bob at rdelfay@earthlink.net.
