Tracking Point has a remote viewing option - just hold the rifle up (1 hand and arm exposed, that’s it, if the gun is on a sandbag or other stable rest), aim the shot on your cell phone or iPad, shoot and get to cover. Not cheap for us civilians, but bought in quantity by Uncle, it’d be a lot cheaper (and the simple financial cost savings would dramatically expand as less of our soldiers and Marines were wounded or killed, since they’d all be equivalent to the best snipers). That doesn’t include the reduction in misery for our side, which I cannot reduce to a quantifiable amount of dollars.

The ability to keep concealment while exposing only the gun is unusual, but effective. I’ve looked at all the videos, and some others that reflect the ability to “lock” on a target moving 30mph with no degradation of the success of the shot. They sell the remote, infra red, night scope as well. There is a video running around where Taya Kyle (with only minimal training) bested a national champion sniper at a variety of distances and wind speeds. She scored 100% hits. The sniper scored around 54%. The scope/computer calculates wind speed, distance, and elevation. It’s on my Christmas list for my kids. Somehow I think I’ll have to cough up the $14,000 myself. I was thinking that if/when we get a period of insurrection, it would be priceless.

The added benefit is you can call your mom from the foxhole to say hi.
