The TrackingPoint Precision Guided Firearm (PGF) system uses an integrated optic with a ballistic computer and laser rangefinder to achieve automated shots. The shooter locks onto the target, and the system calculates a firing solution. The rifle only fires when the reticle is perfectly aligned with the digital lock point, ensuring accuracy even at extended ranges like 213 yards.
