Maybe they forgot to put in a headphone connection?

I can see it would blow the stealth Hunting plan.

Still cool though.

Plink!

O.K.- I just know one of Y’All got one of these.

I’m somewhat of a tinkerer (check out my bio) and I’ve been thinking of a smart phone in the stock of a rifle so that you can text (keypad on the forend) and talk (earbuds attached to gun) while out stalking and sniping. If we are truly a connected society then by golly let’s take the next step forward.

Interesting, thanks. I, for one, liked hunting because it was a great chance to get away from all the noise...ditto with camping, climbing, hiking, and to this day I can't understand why people insist on bringing all that racket with them.

Just stay home, turn out the lights, and snort pine scent or something if all that crap is so important.

Yes, I can see the merit of getting weather alerts in the boonies (although we were taught to watch the sky at an early age).

It's tough to do that hunched over a smartphone, and you can't hear thunder so well with those earbud thingies going full tilt...

All right, that is cool. If you could put a transistor radio on a Picatinny rail it’d do great today. What the heck, I already have at least one friend who’s turned his 6-lb AR into a 20-lb Swiss Army Rifle...

Thanks for posting, this is the first thread I have read today that hasn’t made me grind my teeth out of anger.

I’m sure they’d have no problem selling it now.
