Seems like another entry in the "civilian operator" market. And if I hear another corny civilian use sniper lingo like "send it", I'm going to scream.

Seems they're moving to gov sales, which makes sense if your product costs $15000 and up each.

If the U.S. Army testing of TrackingPoint 338LM, Yuma Proving Grounds, 29 October 2014 is accurate, this just might be the next game changer. Heck, now Call of Duty "veterans" can become effective leadslingers instantly with zero hour in BRM. Imagine the savings!
