Taya Kyle, the widow of legendary Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, shocked onlookers at the American Sniper Shootout when she beat champion marksman Bruce Piatt, one of the top professional shooters in the world, with a perfect score. The competition not only marked Kyle’s first foray into professional shooting, but also pitted TrackingPoint’s Precision-guided Firearm (PGF) technology against the skill and experience of an expert shooter. The result was noticeably one-sided.
After the book and movie she could have sat back and cashed checks. Instead she goes out and honors Chris, wins and does good with the $$$. A wonderful person to say the least…
Looking for a price list. How much?
Sorry, noticed that there are two different spellings of Mr. Kyle’s name (Chris and Kris) in the article. No disrespect intended.
In the comments below they mentioned 20K plus…
Wow! That rifle in the pick looks like the Tracking Point System (http://www.riflegear.com/p-2951-trackingpoint-xs1-338-lapua-magnum.aspx)
$27k! A bad ass rig to be sure.
Oh, Duh! Tracking Point right there in the article.
I’m reading challenged on that one.
Love the Kyle’s, but that’s cheating.
I’ll forgive her if she tries it out on Ventura.
They start around $8 K and go up to around $27K +.

“Cheating” in a contest…for sure…but not when it counts.
FWIW…what do you think of the Ruger Precision Rifle in .308?

Very nice set up. For a second there, I thought they had stuck a quran on that target. lol.
Wonderful woman!
I’ll bet that gun weighs more than her.
I want to see some terrorist-control footage from one.
I haven’t seen one yet. I expected to see one at the range by now but have not. It should be a nail driver. I’d get it in Creedmoor though. Tsunami has one on order in Creedmoor. You can’t beat the price that’s for sure.
The down side is eventually every swat team in the country will be buying them.
EMP jam it?

6.5 for you, Brad
Not to start a row, but I’d have thought a guy who obsesses over people referring to a magazine as a clip wouldn’t have called a rifle a gun…but I’m an old Marine…
Let’s see how good people are with a regular rifle and iron sights.
Spose Mangina Ventura’s driveway is full of Panty Liner and Depends salesmen?
Row row row your boat?
What’s a row?
Hey, with all that electronics hanging off the top of it, I’m calling it a gun.
I had enough trouble trying to get the wife to let me get a custom Les Baer.
$27,000. No way.
Well I’d just like to point out our 308 DPMS platform rifle in Creedmoor with a 20 inch Blackhole Weaponry barrel tips the scale at 7lb 10oz. But then again it’s three times the price
Can you call a carbine a rifle?
Or a revolver a pistol?
Stop shaking, Jessie, and take it like a man
