another thing - with the - I assume - chip technology involved - and with a gergillion units of info now possible to encode on a minuscule chip - who's to say there isn't a built-in tracking component?

They did use almost zero lock time as a selling point, that was the only other thing they could come up with. From a practical perspective, what difference does lock time make in a rifle (or even, for that matter, in a shotgun)? If you're shooting at a target 100yds away with a mach 2 rifle, it will take over 150ms (from the time the primer ignites) for the bullet to reach the target. Even the time for a fairly slow rifle would seem slight by comparison (especially considering that rifles are often used at ranges over 100yds).

From a practical perspective, what difference does lock time make in a rifle,,, It appears for no longer than this rifle was in production, not many people were impressed enough to fork over the money for the Extronic Rifle.
Remington will never say, but I think it is safe to say they did not make any money on this grand PC idea.
