from the article:

More than just a laser-targeting system, its sensors also track wind speed, direction, temperature, and barometric pressure.

At least two of the usual Gun-rags have written up variations on this thing over the last year. IIRC, one variant also computes coriolis effect.

Looks like they incorporated a laser range finder to the reticle, so the guesswork is taken out of the distance reading, instead of having a separate range finder and then clicking to range, just paint the target, and line up the reticle to it.

Still needs to read the wind, and the rifle can only read the near wind, not the intermediate or far winds.

Would be useful for snap shooting distance targets. Kinda steep on the price. Maybe I will find one laying around somewhere, one day.

“More than just a laser-targeting system, its sensors also track wind speed, direction, temperature, and barometric pressure.”

That’s a big step forward the models they’ve been advertising didn’t do that.
