The Remington 2020 the optic of tomorrow

The Remington has teamed up with Tracking Point to developed the Remington 2020 weapon systems that puts snipers to shame. The Remington 2020 is a digital optic system that has a 3-21x magnification, a 750 yard range finder, and  a ballistic calculator. The system also broadcasts a WI-FI server allowing people to stream live video via apple IOS or android devices allowing people to view through the scope. The system works by the shooter placing the cross hairs on the desired target and pressing the tag button and the scope calculates a firing solution then the shooter adjusts the point of aim and fire the weapon. The system also can do calculations on moving targets up to 10mph.
