TrackingPoint is a manufacturer of "Intelligent Digital Tracking Scopes" and "Precision Guided Firearms" for hunting and tactical shooting. Their impressive technology allows a shooter to designate a target using the digital scope and the rifle will automatically fire only when the rifle is correctly lined up to the target. The demonstration of thier prototype looks more like a sci-fi movie than real life!
Initially the company will have three rifle models. The XS1 will be a tactical style rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, the XS2 will be a smaller version of the XS1 chambered in .300 Win. Mag. and the XS3 will be a hunting version of the XS2. The company recently confirmed that rifles and scopes will go into production next year (2013).

"Intelligent Digital Tracking Scopes"

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

So, this thing is just a range finder?
Only does hold over?
Not wind?

Re: "Intelligent Digital Tracking Scopes"
Some of the comments at the link were questioning that very thing. With wind though, to be fair, I'm not sure how you would solve. Somehow it would have to detect wind changes over the entire range.scorpionmain wrote:So, this thing is just a range finder?
