Remington's New ???? Scope

The original system that TrackPoint were selling was about $25K and that included rifle with I think a Surgeon Bolt assembly with a Kreiger Barrel and a Macmillan stock in 300win and another in 300 win mag with full ballistics package and hand loaded ammo.
All in all: too much for my pocket and takes all the fun out of it.

Radar, you have to keep buying that same ammo too or the ballistics are off.

The newest American Rifleman has an article on this system. The weight is much more than I expected - over 3 and a half pounds (58 oz). That is more than 1/2 the weight of my hunting guns - all up top. It was an interesting report. They said it worked very well when it worked. Camera resolution and brightness were issues. There currently is no way to adjust ballistics to trajectory compensate for rounds other than what is already programmed. Give it another 5 years.

The difference between the Remington system and Tracking Point is that tracking point controls the trigger the 2020 doesn't. You have to get the cross hairs on the sight point and then pull the trigger - a bad shooter is still going to miss.

They are the same system, just the Remington system is the discount version.
