Burris eliminator thoughs
- Thread starter shane32
- Start date
My cousin has one and really likes it. Two years ago he shot an elk using it on a shot I would not have even attempted, elk was going straight away at 270 yards. He aimed for the anus and the shot was about 1/2" low and 1/4" left, just about perfect. Animal folded up and the real work started then
In the little I've gotten to play with that scope I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Decent glass with added benefit of range finding/bullet compensation abilities.

shane you have a flat shooting round . How far are you trying to shoot ? Even with the burris you still have to shoot a load and know what a load does out to 500 yards to adjust the burris .
Read this review from chuck hawks. I am not a big believer I all these guys say But using a couple lasers for years I read the same issues with the burris eliminator.

Its ability to give a honest return on a deer is limited to 500 yards as are many lasers. Smaller varmint sized game in a grassy field ?? No so good .
If you own a good enough rifle scope now for your needs invest in this range finder as it will be far better tha. the burris at real laser yardage radings. Leica CRF1600 B- http://swfa.com/Leica-7x24-CRF-1600-B-Rangefinder-P53924.aspx
Maybe adjust your zero to 300 if long shots are needed and reaching to a known yardage shorter or longer is much easier with a simple cheat sheet for your load with a good range finder like the leica.

I wouldn't use it on a varmint gun.
