Remington Defense at AUSA



 Remington Defense builds and markets firearms to the military. They are featuring  a couple of guns, the 300 Blackout and surprisingly to me, hanging over the mantle as it were, prominently displayed was the Top End TrackingPoint XS2. So it was pretty clear that if the gun was being displayed to the Military it was available to the military. Schauble, the TP CEO was these guys boss before he set out on his own, they think the guy is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Ok, that's that and I feel comfortable saying the rifle has a big future in the military on the other hand I asked one of the guys at the eMagin booth if the Remington consumer model, the 2020 had an eMagin display in it as well. Whoa, Safe Harbor time, he hemmed and mumbled and that was the end of that. I don't see how it could not be as the HUD is apparently identical to the TP version but there you go. If he said yes we could safely put Remington in a customer slot which would look pretty damn impressive on paper. Regardless the Remington Rep said people were lining up to buy the Smart Trigger version and noted that their is a lot of money in Texas and a lot of Texans go hunting, not just Whitetail but on Safari in Texas on Game Preserves where the Eland and Sable Antelope play. He named a couple of early adopters, Rick Perry and Jerry Jones, those sort of Big Hat Texas types. This is why TP is buying a big place North of Austin to get these things out the door.
