The red links under the pic of the weapon tell about the features.
When you tell the scope what to hit you can't pull the trigger until the crosshairs are lined up.

Might have said the same thing about a telescopic sight 60 years ago. And how is it worse than a PH whispering a firing solution into a city slicker's ear on the sticks? It's not like that system hauls you up the side of the mountain to where the rams are. Some day the technology will be commonplace, and when it is it will hopefully drastically lower the number of gut shot or otherwise poorly shot deer and elk etc. every year. At the end of the day the shooter still has to learn the system, stalk the prey, take aim carefully, tag the target, maintain careful aim, and squeeze the trigger when on target. "Never misses" and "won't even need to know how to fire a rifle" are so ridiculous and off the mark it's sad.

I'm not a hunter, but any tool that helps to improve the success ratio on expensive and difficult hunts while lowering the chance of a poorly shot animal gets a big OK from me.

Success in hunting often isn't measured in the taking of the game, but in the pursuit.

Just one more tool for the states to outlaw in the name of fair chase. Might as well tie them to a tree.
