Hi, I'm Trevor Bending from Optics Planet and I'm here with the Burris Eliminator III Ballistic
Laserscope.
This is a riflescope with a built in laser rangefinder.
Very, very cool system. It's a 4-16x50. One of
the nice features of one of the upgrades from the Eliminator II is this
one has an adjustable parallax. It will go from 50 yards
out to infinity. Powered by one CR123A battery, gives
you about 5000 push cycles on that laser rangefinder. What I mean by push
cycle is
when you're behind the scope, when you wanna see that range in yards
or meters of your choice. All you need to do is push a button on
one or the other side, easy to reach, very ergonomic place
for that button. A lot like a traditional riflescope as well:
elevation, windage turrets, once you get them dialed in, throw the caps on there,
perfect for hunting, we have a fast focus eyepiece with a really, really nice
amount of eye relief. You've got three and a half to four inches,
which, mounted on a big bore gun like this, is a 300 Win Mag you're going to need all
the eye relief you can get and the laser scope Eliminator III
does that for you so really nice setup. A great feature of the Eliminator III
is the mounting. Very, very easy to do. It comes with an integral mount
on the bottom of the scope itself. So it actually has a built-in rail
and the scope comes with clamps that'll clamp onto a Weaver or a Picatinny rail
and it's an adjustable clamp system so depending on if you have your Weaver ready
or you have certain notches spaced out
or Picatinny rail that's standardized, it's going to fit either of them.
It's really easy to do, just bolt it down to the sides. One of the nice things Burris also gives you
on this model,
is you get that sun shade. If you're shooting in the middle of the day and you're getting that
glare on you,
you have that sun shade to really cut that out of the picture. Now, because it's a
range finder you have a Maximum reflective distance
and then a target distance. So the maximum reflective distance on the Eliminator III
is about 1200 yards but if your ranging on an animal, large game, say like a whitetail
deer, elk,
you're looking at about 750 to 800 yards ranging
on that animal. It's going to give you your holdover for both elevation and that's going
to be by a little dot.
on top of that lower post but it also gives you your windage calculation
and that's going to be displayed in the upper right hand corner
and it's going to tell you how far to hold right and left of your crosshair.
Now that I mentioned drop in the Eliminator III, let me explain that a little bit
more into detail.
Drop is actually calculated by your ballistic coefficient of your cartridge
and what Burris does is they make it really easy. They give you a nice printout and
booklet of
many different cartridges so you can pick your cartridge off that booklet,
its gonna tell you what trajectory table you need and, going through the menu in
the scope, you can be easily select that
and you drop is automatically calculated. Very, very easy to do
and you can effectively sight in at any magnification
and your drop will be displayed for you. So, if you're on 4, 5, 6, all the way
up to 16, any magnification, it's effectively going to give you your drop.
So what are the benefits of a laser scope? You're combining two of your most
important tools,
your laser rangefinder, and your rifle scope, you're putting them into one package.
It's simplicity. You can track your animal, rang your animal;
keeping your eye behind the glass, never having to leave it, press the button,
you're ready to go. You can find the Burris Eliminator III at
