Isn't that supposed to run north of $15k? Hell for that price, I'd get Mr. Gradous to build me a rifle, put a S&B up top, and spend the rest on training/practice!
One question I have is how does it compensate for wind? My understanding is that you paint the target and then the system does not allow you to pull the trigger until your POA matches where you painted the target. Well, what if the target is a few hundred yards off and you want to hold for wind? It seems the POA wouldn't match the painted target and therefore you couldn't fire. Have they explained this somewhere that I've missed?

That is one really sweet rifle. Almost video game'ish system. Please post videos when the day comes.
i believe they run over $20K, in which case I would buy a coupe GAPs with sweet glass, a sick ass spotting scope and then training and equipment ha.
cool rifle, i saw the video on youtube about this rifle, but man $17,000 can feed the whole Africa lol jk. My next rifle will be Tac Ops xray 51, actually ordered and still waiting.....
Cool idea... but makes to many questions in my book. In the vids it looks like after a shot the "display" goes fuzzy and out of wack making my first question, repeatability?? The second would be, in some of the vids they are targeting the hunting crowd... If you paint a target on an animal broadside and the animal moves (ie. quarters away, head straight towards or away) what happens??
In the hands of amateurs (there target audience) I see nothing but trouble

According to "Hunting Illustrated" some of that stuff like wind, has to be put in manually. The glass isn't so good, making it tough on a 900 yard shot. 400 yard shots were easy. For the money, I am not that impressed. This is first generation stuff, wait ten years and we will all be making long shots for less money. Of course you won't be the first on your block if you don't get it now.
This is going to be great for hunting shows that can now show "kills" on game right through the scope on the rifle, U Tube shooters will really enjoy it!
It just doesn't do it for me.

i wouldnt buy anything like this on the first production run. wait 5 years or until all the questions are answered. I have been bit to many times trying to be the first kid on the block with the lastest and greatest.
A custom built rifle by Jon Beanland will cost a fraction of the price and shoot with anything out there. Thats were my money would go. Good luck though i hope it all works out for you. lee

Saw this at the NRA show this month. They had a video game type game set up for a test drive. $17,000 for a nice rifle in 7MM Mag. I think the person that said we will have to wait for actual field tests to go with this and the price has to come down. The rifle could have been easily a $4000 rifle but that leaves $13,000 for the scope???
I agree. I Also saw their setup at NRA. It's a neat idea, but one has to wonder what 10 years down the road will bring? There might come a day when bino's WITHOUT LRF are passé. Who knows what they will cram into a scope by then?
As for what it promises, I'm not a buyer yet. Doesn't appeal.

For that kind of money I could get set up sweet and still have money left over for professional training and lots of range time.
Why would you want a rifle that anyone with no training or practice could shoot the first time as well as you can shoot it after years of refining your skills?
Isn't the point of all of this becoming good at something that requires skill?
It is the challenge that makes it worth doing..

well if the rifle has some kind tracking/ID, image processing stuff and other optical/electronic, laser range etc. i dont see how the price will go down, unless mass production.
