[QUOTE="Tyler Kee, post: 1502885, member: 107051"] It was one of the first things I thought when I shot the Tracking Point prototype many years ago after having just tested the Eliminator v1. Wholly stupid, clunky, large systems at the time. But I also remembered seeing pictures of the first Surefire lights, Vietnam era NV, and other technowizardry strapped to early rifles. They looked pretty dumb and clunky and now you can have a thermal on your rifle that can see in the pitch black for 3/4 of a mile for less than the cost of a reasonably priced used 4 door hatchback. I think TP spent way too much time and engineering effort getting the scope and firing system to work together. They should have just done a nice integrated scope and called it good. If memory serves, their engineering team told me that they had played with lasers for wind reading - something something particulate disruptions or speed or some such. Very far out stuff and way over my head. [/QUOTE]
