This is the time of year that firearms publications award their “Best of 2013” prizes, recognizing the gun companies that gave them the most money made the best products. While TTAG shares our colleagues’ desire to reward product excellence, we wanted to do so in a way that took our bottom line biases out of the equation. So we’ve decided to put our very first annual awards in your hands. Make the jump to use our super awesome voting system to make your voices heard. Feel free to lobby for your choice below. We’ll tally up the results some time after Christmas and announce the winners in the New Year, just in time for SHOT Show schmoozing. [ED: I added that word.] See you on the other side . . .

I may now go away?
Merry Christmas to you too!
larue predatobr and it’s not even close (now shipping)
S&B 1.1-8 if they would ship the thing already. Or SWFA SS HD 1-6x.
I vote you stop saying “make the jump.”
😛
Alternative?
“Here’s the link”?
I dunno, “make the jump” is just so 1999, the-Internet-is-so-space-age-and-exciting! Web 1.0-ey.
And yes, I’m being persnickety and unconstructive.
“Thru the Wormhole…..”
I like “make the jump.” Makes me think of interstellar travel.
+1
I like make the jump too. That’s what its called most often in blog-land. If you change it, I recommend, “Engage” or “Punch it”
“Have Scotty give you all she’s got…”
or “let’s kick this pig!”
Once you put it in list form it seems like slim pickings in the “new” department. Most of the new stuff is just an update or mod of a much older product. I wish there were more originality in the firearms or that the market would support it at least.
Yeah I had to laugh when I saw the Remmi 870 and such on there 😉
glock 30S left off the list.
had to write it in.
I saw the 30s on the list just fine under the handgun section.
It wasn’t my vote, but I did see it there.
I’m pretty sure the system adds anything that anyone inputs manually, so it’s there for future voters.
Oh, reeeeally?
It does, and it took forever to lock that down.
“I’m not givin’ you my IP address!”
Joke’s on you, you do every time you leave a comment!
He’s right. You do. And we do absolutely nothing with them. Merry Christmas.
But you can but Obuma and his minions/wenchmen at NSA/ATF store it.
Shrug. Either you live your life in fear or you don’t. I own guns, I buy accessories, I buy ammo, and mostly all of that is done on plastic and/or with paperwork.
If you want to make a really radical comment – use a new name, a new email, and send it from like … a Panera bread or something and use a removable network PC card you can throw away if you need to later (for the disposal of MAC addresses). Purchase your network PC card with cash. If you have a fancy laptop you can basically… make up your own MAC address in the BIOs. Then you don’t have buy a “panera bread PC card.” Never forget to ensure you are using the right MAC address.
Congratulations, now you only need to worry about eye witnesses, surveillance cameras, and satellite imagery. Like in the movie “enemy of the state” – don’t look up, wear a hat, keep your head down. Wear glasses and clothing to mask your identity. If you don’t want to wear a hat, wear a rug like hickenlooper. Never go to the same Panera bread twice.
Haha 🙂
Or just use TOR.
Unless they did actually compromise that. 🙁
M&P 40c is a new handgun? Or am I seeing what others wrote in?
It’s likely you’re seeing someone else’s entry.
Jeez people, if youre gonna add a gun to the list at least make sure its kind of close to being a 2013 gun
Yeah, I’m guessing anything that’s obviously not a new-for-2013 item is going to get thrown out. Way to make your votes count! Heh.
Oh cmon, the Remington 870 totally deserved to be on that list. You don’t get any newer than that.
So much for an 1891 model Mosin Nagant.
“You may now go away.”
LOL
..!., to you too
(no hard feelings, just could have been “have a good day.” or something)
If you spent your Saturday debugging this damned code you’d be surly too.
Merry Christmas.
The only coding I have done was on VB 2008. I can only imagine writing a program and imbedding it on a website to be used by different platforms.
i liked it and thought it was funny.
Submitting vote for best Firearm Accessory… FAILED.
Apparently it didn’t like my vote for “Any of the CZ model girls”.
It went through, your text was just too long and it got truncated. The error is what you saw, but your cheeky entry lives on.
Too bad, because that might have been a winner.
Browning A5? Did they mean best new shotgun of 1913?
Its talking about the new A-5 its a different system and doesn’t kick as hard.
all guns are best
I know a few Del-tons who might take issue with that characterization 🙂
Best new firearms accessory?
A 3D printer.
Wish I had thought of this before finishing the survey.
best accessory… Failed. I wrote in the 5 star bedside block and speed loader. maybe not new for 2013 but it was new for me. It quenches my OCD nicely.
Best knife… I bought a limited edition Havalon for deer season and its awesome. I loved it so much I bought them as gifts.
If some AR wins best rifle over the Tavor I am going to burn down the internet.
I put winchester whitebox as the best new ammo. for those who say its not new, it sure as hell didnt exist for most of THIS year!
By the way, that picture at the top is some serious gun p0rn.. Wow.
our records have indicated you’ve already voted..
sheesh. how rude. you know some places they let me vote twice now, or more, if its for an approved outcome. Democracy is so 18th century.
“Majority rules, and I made the majority of the votes!”
so if I put March 1-10×24 in the open feild will my vote be counted? http://marchscopes.com/tactical-1-10-x-24.html
Excellent choice. Do you have this scope?
No, however it is an aspiration of mine. Where we only supposed to provide opinions on it seems we owned?
Ammo selection…….FAILED!????
Nooooooo…….this cannot be allowed to happen (runs to his laptop)
I’ll make my voice heard yet 🙂
