I see it as a natural progression of the technology. They have had laser rangefinder scopes for quite a while. There are also scopes with bullet drop compensators that need to be dialed up or down by hand. I thought they should combine the two, now they have. Add a wind speed meter like Kestrel makes and add that correction to the mix. I didn’t think up the trigger block until you are on target, that’s a novel idea.
I have a couple of long range specialist friends. Last spring they were shooting rocks on a mountainside. They had the wind meter and an angle meter for measuring the angle of the shot. Might as well add that into the scope with all the other goodies. They had handheld lasers and both brands agreed at 1286 yards. Got everything dialed in and told me to aim right at the rock, I hit it twice right in the middle. I have done plenty of long range shooting, but not that high tech.
“I didn’t think up the trigger block until you are on target, that’s a novel idea.”
If you think of it as a technological twist on the old idea of “fire on release” triggers then it’s not so novel an idea.
Those triggers also reduced the amount of trigger and breath control needed by the operator and the electronics should be a lot better at getting the shot off at the right time.
But really, I’d be willing to bet that most shooters would do just as well with an electronic trigger and electric primers as they would do with this fancy scope.
