Ruger Takedown rifle is awesome but is not the only one in the history. The price of $16 in 1897 would be just a bit more than $300 in today's dollars.

On Travis Haley's ND controversy
Last week, a video surfaced showing Travis Haley having a negligent discharge. It made quite a talk. The videos were taken down as Panteao Production claimed copyrights, but the controversy kept on, surviving on other formats.
On Monday, Panteao Productions uploaded the video with more of before and after footage.
Jump to 1:40 for the ND.
According to the Panteao Productions, the video was used for 'in-house training purpose.' It was uploaded to Youtube as an unlisted video, not meant to be shared in public. One of instructors shared this with public.
In the video, Haley discusses problems with safety method used by Russians and how it is prone to ND, which this video shows.
There has been accusations over this video. It seems like Travis Haley thought this video was maliciously released by Panteao Productions to slander him, ever since his comment about his Magpul video somehow implied that his Panteao Productions video was going to be outdated as well. Panteao Productions eventually discontinued Travis Haley's videos.
This incident should be used as an example of what to beware and importance of everyone being a safety conscious participant as well as having some discretion.
First, for the demonstration, a loaded firearm was not necessary. It could have been cleared and used with no chambered rounds. It is unknown if the production required having a loaded gun, but it would have been better if it was unloaded.
Second, someone should have mentioned somethig about safety protocol. Forgetting to put hearing protection on is not going ot kill someone, but it is far better to have it on. Unfortuantely all people at the site got complacent and didn't think about it.
Third, the video should not have been posted on the internet. What goes on in the internet stays there a long time and someone will see it sooner or later. Panteao Production placed it on the internet which evidently is not a good idea.
Fourth, sharing it with others was not professional. There are times when doing just because you can is not a good idea. Having a bit of discretion would be a good practice.
This controversy will blow over after sometime, but hopefully something can be learned from this incident. Something like this can happen on range for anyone. If you see someone being unsafe, nicely letting the person know could potentially prevent incidents.(This doesn't mean you have to be a safety Nazi) When someone calls you out for violating the four basic rules of firearm safety, give yourself a quick check and see if something is off.

HTC's new AR holster mentioned on TFB
The Firearm Blog mentions the new holster High Threat Concealment is making. HTC has been quietly building a reputation and they had an interesting holster at the SHOT Show. They politely declined my request to take a photo of the new holster, (it is still in development stage) but the description on TFB should give some ideas.
The holster was quite effective as the AR was not visible until the person pulled it out. It had a 30 round magazine, and a 20 round magazine would make it even more concealable.

Things I missed at the SHOT Show
SHOT show is the place where most of the industry gathers, and it is extremely difficult for one entity to cover everything. So here are some things I missed but seems to be interesting
1. Kyle Lamb and Sig Sauer Academy - Kyle Lamb of the Viking Tactics will be working with SIG Sauer as a consultant. This will be quite an opportunity for SIG Sauer Academy as Kyle Lamb has vast experience in use of firearms in operations.
2. Lena Miculek to shoot for SIG - Lena is daughter of Jerry Miculek and although all three of the family were sponsered by Smith & Wesson, Lena is now joining Sig Sauer's team.
3. SIG MCX Lower Receiver Adapter - This adapter allows AR users to use SIG's MCX upper. Soldier Systems Daily has more on it. It is unclear when the release date is going to be.
All three things are related to SIG Sauer, and it is no coincidence that SIG Sauer is really trying to make a difference. SIG had the largest and the most swankiest booth this year and they are really trying. It is hard to see if that will payoff, but the company is certainly making some serious moves.
