New from TrackingPoint

Saturday, October 25th, 2014

TrackingPoint recently introduced the Shotglass:

The Shotglass can be used to aim and fire the weapon from complete concealment cover. It can record video. It’s most likely use in the real world, though, is as a way for the spotter to direct the sniper on target. We expect we will see more of these used with TrackingPoint’s long-range bolt action rifles than with its ARs, but time will tell.

The company now offers three ARs, including a .300 WinMag model:

    “concealment cover”

    I know that’s probably a typo, but which is it? Concealment or cover?

    Setting aside the fact that it’s literally impossible to fire your weapon from complete cover…

    Quibbles aside, looks like a neat technology. Battle HUDs are only a matter of time, it seems.

    .300 win mag in an AR? Invite me out.

    I have a .308 AR and that puppy is my hardest kicking gun.

    Harder kicking than a .300 Weatherby MkV, a .50bmg mk 82, or a Ithica 37 featherlight shooting goose loads.

    Got to question how many rounds that aluminum receiver will be good for.

  3. Isegoria says:

    I suppose there’s some subjectivity to felt recoil, but I’m surprised that you found that your semi-auto AR kicks harder than your bolt-action Mark V. The AR isn’t heavy, but the Mark V doesn’t seem to be an especially heavy gun, either.

  4. Kevin M. says:

    The MkV stock is a work of art.

    Anything with that round’s specs should kick like a mule.

    Felt recoil from .300wby/MkV vs .308 rem700/win m70 is about the same.

    Report is another matter entirely.
