The gun shows around here(WI), suck. I don't go to any, unless my brother wants to make it a social event. There is one, about the time we turkey hunt, that he and I go to, more to do lunch, and look at what ever shows up at that show. It usually reminds me why I don't go to gun shows anymore.
As for tacticool, I like that style of rifle, and pistol. I have pretty blued/walnut rifles and shotguns, and for the most part, they stay in the safe. My Citori's and a Ruger Red Label, in 28 ga., get out regularly, but the pretty rifles stay in the safe, and the plastic stock rifles get to play. Even my Model 70, has a synthetic stock. Actually a number of my rifles, have walnut stocks, in their original boxes, and they now wear after market synthetic stuff. I hate dragging pretty wood around in field conditions. And as I get older, I find even less use for bolt actions, and have migrated to semi-autos. I have one revolver, and over a dozen semi-auto pistols. I have no use for wheel guns. I won the one I have.
I guess maybe I was born 40-50 years too soon.
About the only good thing about millennial's propensity to trade in/sell cheap, is if one is in the used firearms market, there are deals to be had.
