The three PGF rifles, offered in 7.62, .300 BLK and 5.56 calibers, incorporate the company's ground breaking TTX (Tag Track Xact) technology, accurately locking onto and hitting moving targets at distances up to 500 yards.

With stabilized target selection, target tracking and guided firing the 500 Series semi-automatic AR products enable anyone to be an expert marksman out to the 500 yard effective range of the firearm, even from difficult firing positions, such as kneeling, standing or even lying beneath an automobile.

For the first time, AR enthusiasts will be able to make fast and accurate shots on moving targets out to five football fields away," said John Lupher, TrackingPoint CEO.
