I think it has been discussed here and on many of the other boards. I personally do not see a future in it.

It's been posted.

It got mixed reviews at best.

I wouldn't be so sure this doesn't take hold.

I read the previous posts associated with this gun and it reminded me a lot of comments I heard from fellow recurve shooters when compounds showed up or things fellow sidelock shooters said when in-lines made the scene. I can't imagine why anyone would carry a heavy compound bow laden with all it's gadgets into the woods or why someone buys a muzzleloading rifle with a plastic stock. Yet most who read this and millions of others have. It has a lot to do with the way things are when you get your introduction. Things like this succeed because they reduce work or improve the liklihood of sucess. Is it "good"? I don't know. I do think there will be fewer hunting opportunities in the future as improved technology meets less habitat. But then, I suspect there will be fewer and fewer hunters too. I can guarantee you, I will never own one.

I might be fun to play with, but at $500 I'd say it's an expensive toy. I'm not sure it would be legal to hunt with in too many places, certainly not in Idaho.

It's gonna fail!!! I'd bet $100 on it. That has gotta be the dumbest invention I've ever seen.
Those are my opinions of it

I am one that doesn't see a future for this product. Remington tried it and I belive they discontiued it. I wionder if the will eventually "hi tech" the ML so we have the same problems everywhere those folks in CO and ID have.
