A new company in Texas is selling a precision rifle with a unique technology that allows even an inexperienced shooter to hit a target 10 football fields away. The price tag is a staggering $27,500.
Tracking Point describes the weapon as a smartgun, with a trigger wired to the scope so that the gun won’t fire until it’s locked on the target that’s been tagged.
The company also has a deal to sell about 1,000 of the guns to Remington, which is Chief Executive Officer Jason Schauble’s former employer. But the Remington model will be less expensive, running about $5,000 each.
