And here's the video: TrackingPoint 2013 -- Extreme Distance Hunting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu2EqO1qbrQ#ws)
The whole set up will cost around $50K. So, I guess I'll only be able to buy 5 instead of the 6 I had my heart set on.

Holy cow. Many high end sniper optics just became obsolete.

I didn't see a 3100yd shot but still impressive

Last I seen they could barely make a 1k shot . The settings had to be perfect .

That is not skill shooting...the damn rife and scope does all the work, you just have to put the cross hairs in the target!
-
Dont know about you guys but I could use one :(
-
Is that sporting? Is that how lazy we are now days? Zero practice needed, zero skill, zero time invested in learning. Might as well just go to the supermarket and buy ur meat.

Military is going high tech...
First, pilots get replaced by drones.
Then after that.... Army robots!

Then put one of those scopes + facial recognition tech on an army robot and you get an army sniper robot!

That was kind of my thought...takes all the skill and obtaining good marksmanship out of it.

I just got a response from tracking point the company said if i can get enough people for demo they would send one out. Anyone interested? :geekdanc:

Yeah the sent me an email the other day saying that . I asked the how the system was in shooting in low light rainy weather being we either hunt in early mornings and late evenings. They responded that they are stil working out the low light settings on it's internal laser system .

We are in the last days of real soldiers, Bring on the terminators!!!!!

I've watched most of the videos on this scope. First you have to mark the target which is not easy. Then you have to go over the same spot before it shoots. The target also cannot move and if it does you have to remark. Besides that everything else is taken care for you.

I get what you guys are saying about the lack of the "sporting" aspect when it comes to this gun, but as a military member I'll tell you this. In war, I will take EVERY advantage to kill my adversary more effectively regardless of how its done.
That said, of course marksmen should still receive all the advanced traditional training as currently applied .

"That is not skill shooting...the damn rife and scope does all the work, you just have to put the cross hairs in the target! "
That.
Ain't.
Hunting.
That.
Is.
Slaughter.
And the wounding and hindquarter shots are unforgivable.
Terry said that and he ain't takin' it back.

Now I don't knows how they do it in golden showers Colorado, but round these here parts that there is called huntin.
-
^ You're quoting a quote.
I repeat. That ain't huntin'. That is slaughter.
-
WOW.......but Where's the thrill of the hunt now

Bro, as a military system..Hell yes, I'll take two down range with me! As a "sport hunting" system...naw, I prefer to make the hunt more about my skill than about the systems skill!

thats some insane distance

That gut shot turned me off completely. If you're going to hunt, I see it as a duty to despatch your quarry as quickly and humanely as possible. If they wanted to just brag about the capabilities of the rifle system, use paper targets.
And I wonder how many other animals they wounded and did not show while they were playing this little game.
Yee-fuckin'-haw.
