OK, so it is not impossible but you can plug in all of the data that you have right here...www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php and you can calculate your trajectory. That will give you the drop number you need to program this scope.

Hey Travis, good videos. However, you picked the most complicated way to program the scope. All you need is 1.Muzzle Velocity which you get with a chrono 2. Your round, we have them all even hand loads (all you need is the bullet and BC), 3. sight height above bore, and 4. environment info (elevation, and temp). There is no need for drop info, formulas or anything like that. Once you have your Muzzle Velocity this whole process will take you about 5 minutes and will be as accurate as you are! One the riser topic you will only run into issues with ARs for those we make shorter risers so you don't have the scope so high.

Those Burris scopes work great... I have one on a 308 AR10 and a Weatherby 257.. Look up on the sheet they supply the closest ammo BC wise... Or reload your own with the BC of the projectile and the average velocity using a chronograph... Then do the formula for your bullet info. I live at 310' elev in CA but usually hunt in Nebraska.. I use 4000' for a close enough elevation. Sight in at 100 yards just like directions say. Then take a shot at something near 750 yards.. Can be more or less and there is a correction for both. Then shoot. Take the distance in inches above or below your target and add it to your drop number or subtract it from the drop number... Sounds complicated but it is relatively easy. I have lasered deer out to 788 yards and have shot dead on at 520 yards.. Remember the gold dot in the scope is about a 2" dot at 100 yards so it is fine for hunting but for "F" class shooting it is too large. Push the button and 1 second later you have the distance and ballistic drop calculations with the impact point adjusted in the scope....

Can’t wait to see your findings in the field.

Sweet beard bro, was hesitant in the beginning but it is epic now

Years ago I became interested in long range shooting. I was already involved in competition Skeet shooting. I haven’t shot in a while. I went to the pistol range and afterwards stopped by the sales counter and looked at the Ruger Precision Rifle. I’ll probably pick one up soon. After watching your first video, I began looking at ammo. I have always liked Hornady and was surprise that the ammo in this video is what I plan on using. Will keep you updated.

You’re right in pointing out that it’s not quite as simple as it’s being marketed. A good many distance shooters are reloaders so they are usually pretty good at calculations trying to formulate that perfect projectile and powder combination. I’m sure the quality is good. Quite a nice setup there brother.

I think I remember doing bullet drop problems in physics one. Scope looks pretty cool. Thanks

A lot of load data is available online, but for hand loads you need your velocity, bullet weight, and your dope at 100 yards zero. You can extrapolate with some math but as you mentioned it does get a little complicated... best bet is using factory ammo with known ballistic figures... usually they're based on a certain length barrel though so you may need to tweak a little.... getting that 100 percent precision isn't easy and i think at a certain point there is no short cut.

Berger also has a great balistics calculator that includes altitude all you need is the bc and muzzle velocity.

Ok this is what I did. I used handload on Burris website and plugged in BC an MV0 for 750 yrd drop. Shooting a 30-06 180gr bullet at 2602 fps and BC of 0.369. Gave me a drop no of 213. Plugged that into scope, went to range and shot 4" gong at 400 yrds. Its was a bit low, (on bigger gong) first) so using Strelok (which by the way gave exactly same drop no at 750 as Burris did) I trued drop down to 210" drop for 400 yrds. Started getting g hits. So the trueing adjusted the MVO does little. Then took it out to 600 yrds and got HITS. So basically you reverse engineer the drop using a Ball App in the field. Not too complicated.

Awesome Vid.!!!!

Good video man

The folks that get into long distance shooting get deep into this info but too much work for a simple person like myself but nice scope nonetheless and cool set up....Good stuff....

Your eval made this sound complicated but it is super easy... add subtract the given change for altitude( altitude is findable with a phone app. ) The basic charges are factory listings and if you handload it is easy to modify the calculations. You only need the BC of your bullet for the caliber and the fps of the round. YOU STILL NEED TO VERIFY BY SHOOTING and then fine tune. ONCE DONE you need not change anything except if you travel to a different altitude(or shoot in a mountainous area) but you still have your dope card.. No biggie.

Interesting info. Try to mount your scope lower for a better cheek weld W/O having a high cheek rest in relation to the butt pad. BURRIS needs: 1.A completely programmable ballistic engine 2. Bluetooth compatibility with a Kestrel 5700 weather meter/ballistic engine IN LIEU of an internal ballistic engine. 3. At least Bluetooth compatibility for wind info and display. These improvements are mostly a Bluetooth sensor and more programming.

Also Travisp11 where did you get the bright orange case on your back counter as I love it! who is it made by.. thank you kindly

Love that rifle

Received an email today....The Eliminator III 4x16 is currently on sale for $999 while supplies last.

I have a semi auto riffle Browning Zenith Fluetted 56 cm barrel. Can I use the Eliminator III LaserScope 3-12x44mm with it?

Got my 750 yard drop number entered my elevation, pressure inHg, temperature = drop number and BC on the Federal web site 👍👍🇨🇦

So shoot the rifle at 100yards. Then adjust turrets till you hit spot on at 750. Just count the amount of clicks and work out drop. Not difficult.

very kool ty 2020

I really like the concept behind this scope but one of the things that has kept me from bitting the bullet and buying one is that (correct me if I'm wrong please) the scope can only be programed for one load at a time. In my 6.5 caliber rifles I like to work up accurate loads for mid-weight and heavy weight bullets and charge weights. This means that the scope will work really well but only for one specific load. You'd think that by now Burris would have added sufficient upgrades to their onboard computer processor to allow for the storage of more than one load; whether hand loads or store bought cartridges. This would make such a scope even more attractive. Think about it; you go on a hunt and forget to pack your programmed cartridges but your lucky enough to pass a sporting good store on the way that sells one of the other load recipes the scope might have been programed for. I know this is just offbeat example. Most hunter have never forgotten to bring along their bullet when they go hunting but, I only mention it as an example. It would be a whole lot more convenient to simply punch in or change the load preference with a simple press of a button.

Greetings, good video, congratulations. One question, can the Eliminator be used in caliber .22LR and 17HMR ?. Thanks for the reply.

Travisp11, you should make the small investment in a chronograph. All guess work is gone. Plug in your bullet data, scope height, and muzzle velocity into Ballistics arc or strelok pro. It will be life changing for you.

Very good video. Would the same applies for northern alberta Canada?

I just bought this scope and that rifle in .308 but its hard to find a mounting video. Any information you can provide would be helpful!

Good Morning Travisp11 thank you for you videos.. Im looking to buy this scope for my birthday.. in May. im excited as im a newbie... Would you say this is GREAT scope for me to pick? I will be putting it on My Howa ACP 1500 6.5 CREEDMOOR. or should i go with the Vortex Viper.. my instincts say Elimintor3. smiles.. looking for input from seasoned Gun owners like yourself... thank you kindly...AS i have no one to show me the ropes.. but im a Gun4Life Lady...

The question of drop at “x” distance is entirely academic, regardless of what is / is not available on the factory ammo. If you’re going to spend $1,000+ on a scope, you’re a fool if you haven’t already allocated a chronograph

New list on line the they do on line now a lot easier

Do you know the code for at Hornady outfitters cx180 grain please

700 yards who needs a scope for that? That's what I warm up with when I'm shooting pistols. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What is the mount the Burris is mounted to?

This 🔫 loks like 2019

How does the eliminator calculate wind speed? Good vid, thx.

So do yo have to zero the scope at 750 yrds before you and bullet info.

There is a calculator right on Burris website....:it has a lot more manufacturers than the printed ballistic chart. You enter your elevation, barometric pressure, temperature as well as brand of ammo manufacturer, and exact bullet you are shooting....it gives you al other numbers you need. No need for any math or thinking for that matter. ballistics.burrisoptics.com/eliminator#main:6

Couldn't you just chronograph the rounds and put them in in a ballistic calculator and get the drop number

just use a ballistics program , they are free

Here is the link to part 1 of this series...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLtkoq95yJbOfIE.html

Parabéns a vc de ser privilegiado de ter essa delicias de armas e lunetas. Nois aqui no Brasil não temos . infelizmente.

I have this scope it’s fuckin complicated i still isn’t know how to use it

Published numbers never match exactly. Just get out and verify your drops

Eliminate burris from your shopping lists...they wipe their arses on your warranty Battling for months fir a warranty replacement.

Traduction en français

wow i was really listening until i heard the price.....im on way too tight a budget to be spending that much money.I need to find a really good piece of glass for a reasonable price?! :>/

I have a semi auto riffle Browning Zenith Fluetted 56 cm barrel. Can I use the Eliminator III LaserScope 3-12x44mm with it?
