It'll be interesting to see if the Defense Department nibbles at this; I would not be surprised to discover that they did.
What's even funnier is I know the former Capt Schauble. He was a platoon commander with 2nd Force is 05. A bunch of my good mates were in his platoon. Pretty good guy and was wounded pretty heavily during the attacks in Fallujah.
It is a heckuva weapons system, but like they alluded to in the article, it still takes a shooter to hold the rifle steady enough to hit at a 1000 yards. Most of the technology has been there for awhile though with ballistic computers and the boon in RF technology.

Check out their videos on youtube. They are gut shooting and making horrible shots on game in Africa. Not very ethical, if you ask me.

There was a full article write up on this Rifle/Scope combination in last months Sniper magazine by Tom Beckstrand. "The coolest company you've never heard about".
Interesting I thought. Surgeon built the XS1, XS2, and XS3 rifles for them and Barnes loaded a 190 gr. LRX bullet for the XS3 in 300 Win. Mag. which is their hunting model and loads a 220 gr. SMK for the XS2, their Tactical model in 300 WM..... even using a 300 grain Sierra MK for the XS1 in 338 Lapua Magnum.
Honestly though, I'd rather not place so much "trust" in a high tech device like this, but the system does have a lot of built in advantages?
