No it's not legal in Alberta, but I had to laugh when I saw the ad.

Would be perfect for the road hunters.

Oh Lord.....looks like the perfect thing to have for when you need to get that quick shot off at a Woodland Caribou.....

And no, that was not a suggestion, that was satire, for those who were thinking 'spot on!'.......I'd like to think we don't have any of those on the forum, but I suspect.

Where are the molle straps and picatinny mounts? Does it come with an option to have the spotlight move along with the rifle?

It still needs some improvements before I will buy one........

Default Stealth Truck Hunting... Really?

"Silent adjustability will not give away your position while setting up your shot
Fast and smooth elevation adjustments are done while keeping sight on the acquired target"

What do these guys drive for their road shooting, a Tesla?

I like the fact it comes left handed and you can leave your gun in it while driving.

I'd prefer to repurpose one of those sphere's from a B-29 belly gun and gyroscopically stabilize it in the truck bed for stability on the move.

These posts should be locked before a road hunter gets offended.

Except that it is from an area of the world where hunting from a vehicle and at night is completely legal and an acceptable way of getting things done .
In the UK they even have to use suppressed rifles in many areas .

Great tool for ground squirrel territory. Did it in Wyoming......don't know if it was legal and don't care......the land owner was the one driving and I was the one doin' the shootin'. Made sense on his 20 1/4 sections of gopher infested property, in the middle of nowhere...

Too much money and I would need it in camo to remain stealthy.

I need to set up a stand selling these out of my driveway, would make a fortune during rifle season. They do need a cup holder for the beer cans though. Need one in real tree camo so it blends with the other useless contents of the truck.
