The CEO has said it enough that it has penetrated my thick skull. "They are getting into the military". Vortex is seen largely as making Hunting Gear but it's obvious now this is who AS is referring to for inclusion in the NGSW FCS Program. Like our friend at Task&Purpose said the Scope is more important than the rifle. And incidentally will cost more than the weapon.

 

Small arms fire control systems combine a laser range finder & ballistic computer in compact optical sight, drastically increasing first-round hit probability. Vortex's sight has been selected by the US Army for its NGSW rifle & is probably more important than the weapon itself. pic.twitter.com/LdDVX341RR
