I’m sure by now most of you have seen the hype around the TrackingPoint Sniper Rifle. Â No matter what some may say about the system, it is a cool piece of equipment and I can see the benefits of using one. Â When the TrackingPoint Sniper Riflewas first introduced, it was exclusively for the long rifle, and I thought, “Why not have one on an AR platform for our nations warfighters?”
That question has now been answered.
Recently, TrackingPoint unveiled its AR-friendly system. Â Unlike the”sniper system”, where the shooter tags, holds the trigger, and waits until the cross hairs meet the tag in the optic before the weapon discharges, the AR platform has a free-fire mode. Â The shooter still has to tag the target in order to obtain a ballistic firing solution (DOPE), but once the information is gathered. the shooter can switch to a manually-operated trigger and not worry about the ballistic hold overs and unders.
