The concept that the rifle’s high cost is so that it is capable of NOT necessarily firing exactly when the trigger is fully depressed (like every other rifle in the world) but rather when the system determines a moving target is reacquired, would be simply nerve racking to the shooter.

I never got the point of…Tracking Point. The “problems” that it purports to solve are all the easy ones in shooting that take a little bit of training and inexpensive equipment to overcome (trigger control, drop calculation, etc), while the truly challenging stuff–wind doping–is left unaddressed. It’s also hideous, likely fragile, and outrageously expensive. The product has always been more gimmick than substance, enough only to impress the mall ninjas. Good riddance.

These “positive reports” are known as “forward-looking statements” … otherwise known as public relations BS. Always remember the old saw: “Buy the item, not the story.”

“[Y]ear-on-year unit growth was 281% and year-on-year bookings dollars grew 107%. The company believes it is the fastest-growing gun company in the world.”

Percentages in this context don’t mean squat, and neither does public relations blather. Hoping to sell to the military and stick it to the taxpayer didn’t pay off this time. Just another outfit whos’ time will hopefully never come.
