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.

RE: really??
 

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:D

Wonder if it would get rid of the T7 crud ring?

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.

im gonna wait for the optional solar panel re charge kit. i cant ask a deer to wait while i run to the wally world for a 9 volt:D

RE: really??
 

I'm waiting for the remote control model. Then I can put the rifle on a tripod out in the woods with a video camera aiming devicehooked direct line to my computer. I can sit in the house where its warm, watch the game on TV, drink coffee, and when the deer I want walks by the rifle I can (using my flight simulator joystick) move the scope crosshairinto position and then remote fire the rifle. This will save a lot of time walking in the woods, wearing them uglyblaze orange santa suits, and freezing to death 20 feet up in a tree playing squirrel.

CVAshould stick to copying proven designs.

liquidorange,
For extended back woods hunting you could hook it up toa hand powered generator like is in the free play radios. It takes up less room than the solar panel and works in low light conditions. :) You would also have a radio to check the weather and for entertainment.
