Discussion from yesterday’s thread at:

so what happens if the wifi is down?
Just watched the video. Nope, I don’t think it’s very sportsmanly. Sorry - I don’t hunt to utilize a wi-fi enabled computer-controlled device. A good scope is about as high-tech as my spirit allows. Is it even “stalking” at 1000 yards? Naa, not for me.
Meh... it’s a gimmick for people that don’t know how to shoot.
Some times shooting some thing is not about being sporting.

a story of this weapon was posted yesterday...I posted as you did about it not being sporting.
Or, whatever.
Would seem to raise a multitude of security concerns.
One way to defeat the effectiveness of this rifle is to jam the wi-fi signals in the area.Thought the enemy has to know they are being targeted with a weapon such as this.
I don’t see the rifle requires wifi. It will broadcast to wireless devices to let others see what the scope sees.
And 1,000 yard shots mean you are not in their area.
oh BTW....what a great device for our boys in Afghanistan!!
Every American who can afford one of these things should have one.The eds will have them or already do and they don’t really even need them with their drones.
So is there ammo available at WalMart for it?
This has the gun grabbing libs scared to death...it makes a sniper out of an average Joe......they are in big demand...you have to get on an approved list to get one...approved is the key word here....
My dad taught me how to shoot his M1a - good hits at 800yds, half mile. I read Carlos Hatcock’s book about sniping. I think the .50 cal sniper rifle is awesome. I like shooting. Miss it down here.
Yes, I read your post just now. Some of those shots also seemed sort of peculiar - stomach shots, spine shot... Just not the way I like to hunt. (Also laughed at the poster who claimed every shot he ever took was an instant kill...)
.338 Lapua and .300 Win Mag
Been researching the difference between the .330WM and 7mm mag. Either one will push me back a foot when shooting prone.
