Wonderful TrackingPoint scope mounted to a Lewis Machine and Tool LM308MWS rifle as produced by TrackingPoint with a custom camo pattern with "AMERICAN SNIPER" logo on left side of combination buttstock and battery compartment. These rifles were produced by TrackingPoint to help raise money for the Chris Kyle Foundation and a set number were auctioned off at an event put on by TrackingPoint called the American Sniper Shootout where Taya Kyle, Chris's widow, shot TrackingPoint firearms against Brian Piatt shooting standard US military firearms in a lengthy course of fire, where Taya eventually prevailed. As part of the auction, Taya signed a number of rifles. This particular rifle is signed "God Bless You! [Taya's signature] Micah 6:8" (KJV: He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?). Features a fully integrated TrackingPoint system that not only is a smart scope but is also hooked into the trigger system and bolt in such a way that the scope will inform you if the hammer is down but the bolt is forward and, in certain modes, will not allow firing if a target is not designated. Housed in a special TrackingPoint hard case with special edition sticker on front and French fitted for rifle, charger, battery, two logos, and perforated scope cover. Harris bipod, 2 Gen 3 Magpul .308 magazines. One battery. Also included is a framed set of three tickets for the event and a Crew tag. CONDITION: Excellent, showing just a few very minor handling marks. Retains virtually all of the custom finish with a few areas of rubbing at high points, mostly visible at magazine well. Signature clear and legible. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is excellent, bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Scope works appropriately and cycles through modes appropriately. Case is fine, sticker has some scuff marks. Accessories are fine. Lewis Machine and Tool provide very fine rifles, TrackingPoint proves revolutionary optics, and the association with Taya Kyle pushes this wonderful set over the top. EW
