New compterized scope

[Judan_454]

All the time I spend out too the range to improve my shooting is now taken over by a computerized scope.
Welcome to the 21st century.

I'd rather know how to use a regular scope...

[HighHook]

Yep. Give me a Mildot scope and I am happy as a clam.

Human skill is paramount.

Missing should always be an option.

It's not for me.

Kindles are great until the lockup.
Sorry for the double post.

It may tell you the range, but it sure doesn't calculate the wind or allow for shooter error at that range. That first shot sure looked like it hit high on the rump.

[Love Life]

Looked like gutshot in one of the animals as well.

[Judan_454]

It suppose to calulate the range,wind speed, tempeture,elevation,target speed and even the rotation of the earth.

I tried looking up the price of one of these rifles/scopes and the lowest I could find was around Seventeen-Grand.

For that kind of money I could take the next two and a half years off work and spend all my free time at the shooting range practicing with the rifles and scopes I already own. That $17,000 would also pay for my gas and ammo. Life would be good. (I live a simple debt-free life right now)

Still, it would be nice to have that kind of money to burn on a cool looking rifle like this.

And just as soon as you bought the fangled thing ... they would come out with a gen 2 and a gen 3 already in the works making the $17,000.00 purchase obslete

I thought so as well. I certainly wouldn't be putting those movies in anything I was advertising!

This is for military. I don't care what they say. No one else is going to buy an ugly rifle that needs special ammo that you can only get from one source for this amount of cash.

Buy this, automate it in a turret, and you have a very cheap anti personnel weapon that some pogey at a desk can watch thousands of miles away. Gut shot, or wounded men screaming on the ground is one hell of a de-motivator. No more rogue shots or claims. Verify there's a weapon, have the CO, a lawyer, two Caps, and a grunt to push the button after they all sign off. The UN whining? Show them the tape.

I'd be proud if I didn't expect this to be used in the future on American citizens when to much of our military refuses to fire on us.

I couldn't even get halfway through it. What BS, that's not hunting that's guys with more money than brains.

[TXGunNut]

I can see some of the technology being useful for a long range engagement but I'd put my money on a trained sniper and a mil-dot over a geek with a keyboard any time, any place.

[Love Life]

I don't see the military going bonkers about of getting these. Too much can go wrong with the platform, Marines break everything, and they would rather have well trained snipers. Not fake snipers.

[Pb2au]

Well, That sure is a complicated looking device...........and fragile,,,,,,,,,,,,and unnecessary.
It probably works, until it rains, or gets dropped, or bumped, or breathed on, or runs out of lantern batteries to power the silly thing, or any other myriad of things that can happen in the field.....
silly thing.

I would bet real shooters and snipers like Carlos Hathcock would cringe as such nonsense.

[Garyshome]

That would be like having a computer in your car. Sooner or later it is going to CRASH! Then you need an OBD 3 to find out what's wrong with your scope?
