        There was a booth at the Safari Club Convention in Dallas last weekend for either these guys or something similar. Pretty sure civilians can buy them.

          They have been for sale to the public since last year. I have the brochure in my office.

            I shot one on Monday. Yes it will render all marksmanship training obsolete.

                For the military.

                Civilian model won't have auto-windage and other functions, IIRC.

                Remington Arms Co. has partnered with Tracking Point on a new shooting system that may just revolutionize how targets are acquired. There are lots of myths out there about what this technology does and doesn’t do, but here is what the author learned from his time on the range.

                  Great.

                  Now we are gonna get Tactical Tommy bitching about how there aren't enough 1000+ yard ranges for his TrackingPoint scoped .338 Laupua AR.

                  Color me excited.

                    I hate the phrase "game changer," so no.

                      I don't like the fact it basically removes the human element from shooting. I know there is a role for it to fill in the military, but I just don't like how dependant we are becoming on technology. Technology should be something that helps us, not something that just does the job for us.

                            It doesn't do the job for us. It aims for us. We still have to find the target and pull the trigger.

                              Download the apps "target finder" and "CHOOT IT CHOOT IT!" and you'll have that covered. They're only $1
