Personally I can't afford this right now, so I will stick with my bow.

I love how they claim that they are selling them to high end hunters who want to shoot long range... It definitely is not something I would approve for use, and would venture that many states soon will limit the use of the weapons in hunting seasons.

I for one would never want to see it used for anything except for predator control.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-13 AT 09:33AM (MST)[p]I did not read anything in the article about wind compensation. At those distances wind would be a huge factor, even if it did just lock on the target. Guess shooters are on their own in that regard.

Just think of all the bullets Stinky could save with this gun.

Actually they did mention wind, though the claim is hard to believe if there was a stiff wind:

"What sets the TrackingPoint rifle apart is its high-tech electronic scope that automatically accounts for distance, gravity, wind speed, humidity, the rotation of the Earth and other variables that can influence whether a bullet hits its target."

And sometimes on my shots, the earth seems to turn a little faster or slower. That has to be why my shots miss the mark!

The word (HUNTING)is gone! Food plots WTF kind of hunting is that?? 1000 yard shots? How can you post a pic of something someone else found for you? $10,000 guides with 8,10 ,12 spoters??? Most of the hunting show on TV make me sick. There are still alot of good hunter around but things are changeing fast.
