I think the point of this rifle is to both cut down on training costs and also have the ability to make clean kills. Im not in support of a weapon that takes the skill from the shooter, im just looking at the possible market: military and police. This product has no place in the civilian market…
This topic was tacking about the future of rifles,, i was thinking for this rifles, and i was interested to know what this is all about, thaks.
SS, wht the hell has happened to Lama? I haven’t heard from him in well over a year? He use to drop by the house every once in a while to watch the F-1 races.
And where are you in C. Texas, I’m now in Gatesville, Moves from Killeen FT. Hood 5 years ago

It’s always exciting to watch the technical advances being made today. However, I believe too much of a good thing isn’t always good for the average guy. Military snipers…yes, and yes again! Their prey doesn’t deserve to live. Putting “one shot, one kill” capability in the hands of an average Grunt is a genuine force multiplier…and a lot cheaper than months of training the very few exceptionally gifted shooters.
If I had a scope that laser ranged, wind corrected, gauged vertical barrel tilt, auto adjusted the reticle to the correct POI at 1000 meters, and the gun had plenty of knockdown power at that range, then all I’m left to do is pull a trigger. That would get boring in a hurry.
That kind of shooting for the average Joe is akin to taking a whore out on a really expensive date!!! It’s just not necessary, nor cost effective!

I’ve seen these super rifles up close at the test range in Texas which also happens to be my local 1000 yard range. Mr Lama and I watched one of the engineers test fire the rifle. Pretty impressive.
Long range shooting you need a atv. Or you need to set up 50 targets and go get them all at once hahaha :rofl:
Good point Hoot, I better stick with the 50 yard targets, alot less walking.
Plus that night time hunting stuff will inter with my beauty sleep. 😀
Blind man kills Zebra at 1000 yards with new scope!!!!
Coming to a sporting goods store near you in 2015. Meanwhile, beware of feral Zebras!!!!
Meanwhile, man up and learn to shoot your guns properly. Taking the skill challenge out of marksmanship makes it a useless hobby. It will quickly loose appeal, never become cost realistic, and the market will reject it. The exact same thing is happening to the night vision scopes. The average man can’t afford a FLIR or GEN 3 quality scope…there’s just not enough use for it in the real world to justify the cost! Night time target shooting quickly becomes boring, expensive-boring! You need moving game to make this aspect of our hobby interesting. Besides, who the hell wants to walk 500 to a 1000 meters to see what they shot. Take you an hour to get there and back to your shooting stand.
