As a new Army Lieutenant in 1982, I was trained on a M60A3 main battle tank. We had onboard lasers, sensors, and computers that provided all the ballistic data for our 105mm main gun. Put the crosshairs on the target, press a button to fire the laser and all inputs were fed to the computer that automatically reset the “lay” of the gun. All that equipment probably weighed about 500 lbs. Amazing to now see all that technology fit into a rifle scope.
Finally a scope with all the features and functionality I’ve been wanting in a normal scope footprint. No boxy design or big clunky stuff hanging off of it. I’ll be waiting for your review from the field.
Woo Hoo I can finally make those 100 yard shots I've been missing for 35 years here in Oklahoma timber. Great info and video. My favorite scope has been a Burris Fullfield 2, 3x9x40 for the last 25 years.
Been using Burris for years. A couple of Full Fields and a Signature back in the day. I had another for a while, maybe Black Diamond or something like that. Great glass for the money. Have Veracity’s on my 7mag and 30-06 now, both with the bullet drop reticle. Love them. The only reason I don’t have the Eliminator is because you can’t legally use electronic aided optics in several western states.
The Scope Is Sophisticated, You Don't Have To Be! If You Can Read At An Average 8th Grade Level, Can Push Tic-Tack Sized Push Butons, And Setup A Late 1990's Standard: FFP, Mil-Dot Type Scope! Your 99% Capable! Pa-Pow, Amen! 😎 🙉🙈🙊 🇺🇸
Man that is next level. Only one question. If you pull up factory ammo what if you're gun is not a 24 inch barrel but a 22 for example. the bullet is not gonna fly as fast starting from the muzzle so wouldnt that skew all the numbers on bullet drop? (Unless they added barrel length to the calculations)
Its good to see that Burris has kept improving the Eliminator, though I do wish they had kept the integral mounts as they moved forward. Its gonna be fun watching the next videos involving this scope and also seeing you use it on safari too!!! Good luck on your hunt,
A bit more complicated than that. They don't tell you what rifle and specs they used to measure MV. Almost guaranteed your rifle won't be the same. Barrel length, semiauto or bolt action? They USUALLY use a 20" barrel and if you have a 16" then you have to guesstimate the reduction in published MV to get close to your rifle's MV. If they measure with a bolt action rifle, your semiauto will be slightly slower even with the same barrel length, but by how much?
@@BooDamnHooactually most ammo manufacturers use 24 inch barrels for testing most hunting rifles are 4 to 8 inches shorter which ends up being 100 to 300 fps slower than the factory specs .
WTW, we are all living vicariously through your adventures. That is some cool beans right there. I hear that an African guided big game hunt is more affordable than some here in the States. Good luck on your hunt. Can't wait to see the videos.
I use the sig sauer Sierra bdx Similar set up, zero at 100 yds. Use the handheld range finder, and it sends the information to the scope and alters the aim point. People say it takes out the skill a little? Enjoy the Burris Scope Regards from the UK
Nothing like a quality scope. Where I hunt in the brushy mountains a scope ain't needed but appreciated when needed. I like to be able to look under my scope.
My buddy put one on his AR 300WM. It's pretty sick. We didn't get to stretch it out, but I think the bells and whistles really come into play when you hunt open country, and suddenly have to shoot up or down at an angle and the shot is pretty long; well within the caliber's ability, but too hard to judge how high to hold in a simple duplex reticle. Some scopes have all kinds of Christmas tree dots in them, and that can help, if you practice enough, but that's hard to do for some of us. I have to drive an hour just to shoot at a 100 yard range; close to four hours for open land with challenging angles. That's a lot of gas at nearly $5/gal. As pricey as this scope is, it makes financial sense when you factor in all the time and money, and the anguish of the one that got away.
Thank you thank you thank you ! I have seen this scope before and it is my favorite for allot of reasons. This not only is very convenient for just relaxing on the hunt but what a training tool ! This scope can teach you about the character of any rifle you own. Buy this use it and some things are going to transfer to your feel memory. I love this scope so much got to have it !!!!
Burris is coming up in quality. Looks like they have copied sig Sauer bdx system and added there own touch. Extremely nice change for Burris and thanks for the video as a bdx proud owner I will be researching this product further.
I like Burris they are one of the few scope manufactures that has a lifetime warrant🙌 Hunters need to check their state because a lot of states won’t allow the options like this Burris has to hunt with so save your self a ticket and check before buying one! They are great for target shooting and I have had many of them on my rifle collection over the years but when I buy new I only buy Leupold scopes period! Over 60+ years of hunting reloading and collecting rifles and Leupold are not the cheapest but they are the best you will ever need and US made except some of the real cheap ones.
I think they are really cool and people have found them reliable. I'd use on something that couldn't kill me though. Just me. Emergency situations require simple things.
Burris is my second choice behind Leupold . Back in the 80s, when I purchased rifles and scopes. The Burris scopes were on the ugly side compared to Leupold but found the Burris optics a tad better. Things are probably different now.
All the capabilities of that scope are amazing. People don't have to spend time on the range working on marksmanship or time in the woods working on woodsmanship. Maybe it's just me but it seems like you would be missing out on half the fun of your hunting experience...
Actually they would need to spend just as much time at the range as any other setup. Unless you can put every shot in the vital zone at any given distance you should not shoot at game from that far. That takes practice and knowing your equipment. At the end of the day you are still only as accurate as you can shoot. This only helps with one important variable, the holdover.
Cool as heck. I bought the hi tech Vortex binoculars which does the same thing, but way more efficient when it's being done in the scope! Good luck in Africa
Glad I found your channel recently.. so many "gun" channels out there, that the guys are CLUELESS.. I like your no nonsense approach.. take it (new gun) out of the box, adjust scope, shoot groups.. (not this video, but...) no BS break in procedure, no running 20 different loads (who can afford that these days?) .. Anyway, I've had very mixed results with Burris for the last decade or so, curious how this holds up over time ;)
Looking forward to your review on this. Curious about the weight and balance effects on your rig, and if the reticle seems busy, or intuitive. I do love me some gadgets!😂
Burris is one of the first scopes I bought for a 30-06 45 years ago. I paid $79 for it and ended up using for every gun I had. So where's the wind meter?
Aaron I have my my Dream Gun Rem. 700 BDL Deluxe 30.06 with a Burris Eliminator 3 scope, this is my ULTIMATE rifle setup, I love it !!! Have Fun With It, and have lots of fun in AFRICA .
I've seen some of your video's on Sendero's. I've got an old Sendero in 300 RUM w/the HS Precision stock. Really accurate. This scope would be GREAT for that rifle. Too bad I can't afford it lol. BUT... Thx for posting. Good Luck on your Africa hunt. I went on a plains gamer in 03 and will never regret it. Saved for 3 years but it was worth it.
This is amazing. I was just at Rural king last week picking up ammo and I ask the worker behind the counter if a scope like this exists and he said vortex makes a scope like that but it costs 4000 dollars.
Can't wait to see the glass quality, say as compared to shmitd and bender, Steiner, Zeiss, Swarovski scopes in the higher end prices. Buy more scopes!! Lol I can't afford them so I'll live vicariously through you!
Yep, The ELIMINATOR 6 is the most advanced hunting scope yet. Can you imagine snipers in WW II, Korea or Vietnam having this scope? I just may get this scope and sell my Bushnell Elite 4.5 - 18 x 44 with illuminated G3 small Xmas tree reticle. The ELIMINATOR 6 would sit on my 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt for big game her in Nevada.
You're going to love that scope once you get it sited in site it in at 100 yards first then you can use it at any range just make sure it's sited in dead on at 100 yards
I should have waited, I bought the 4x16 IV. I really like Burris Signature HD 5x25s, 4 of em. Gee before you know it the rifle will have gizmos that auto shoots for ya!!! Thanks WhoTee
I watched 1x on phone 1x on tv. Thats a very nice optic ! I finally mounted a d sighted in the scope i won on Halfmilesnipers channel...along time ago ! Yay
Only thing I like better on the previous models is the integrated picatinny rail on the bottom of the older ones that gets the cant almost perfectly level
It's a super cool scope. But really, after you've just done 30 minutes of hunched over stalking, out of breath, with a severe case of buck fever, do you really want to use a remote with your scope? Auto range finding and dope adjustments would definitely be useful though. But gotta keep it fairly simple.

It better have all the features....msrp is $2500!!!
@@bort1999 Well the good news is the eliminator 5 will go on sale and drop to about 1k.
This is sick. I put it in my Amazon wishlist, right after my Night Rider Kit car
I had one of those in the 80s 😂😂
I just placed my order but I added a side of Pamela Anderson with my black trans am....

Wow. I'll always love instincts over tech but thats pretty cool.
It'd be cooler if it was also a thermal.
Especially with the price tag, they missed that opportunity for sure.
Better off buy a pulsar lrf

(lol, Tulsa here.)😂
You read the owners manual? Dang.....what a novel concept 🤔
I'll try that soon. 👍
And it will jump start your truck...or a 747!⚡ Another great review Adam.
Burris eliminator are the best but are expensive

Man, Adam, you've gone and gotten way too sophisticated for a dinosaur like me!
It's about the easiest thing . Click a button. It gives you your drop. . Not much to it. I have the 5 and love it

Pa-Pow, Amen!
😎 🙉🙈🙊 🇺🇸
just too damn expensive for me
Pretty high tech equipment, I like my Burris scopes but not sure I’d ever need that much scope in my hunting area !! 200 yds is a long poke here
Looking forward to the field test
Just Aim and it shows the yardage and trajectory. Just aim at the Dot.
Great show and thanks again for the info 👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏

You can manually enter in the bullet velocity for your round 👍👍
That was my first thought, too. I'm running .308 at 18 inch barrel.
Its good to see that Burris has kept improving the Eliminator, though I do wish they had kept the integral mounts as they moved forward. Its gonna be fun watching the next videos involving this scope and also seeing you use it on safari too!!! Good luck on your hunt,
The only problem with scopes with a ballistic calculator is you also need a chronograph as every ammo manufacturer lie about velocity

Exactly.
If you're going to spend approximately $2,500 for a scope, I would imagine you're also going to get a chrono.
That's some James Bond level equipment
Impressive all the things that scope does
You Be Careful in Africa. Very Careful!!.
Why?

Use the handheld range finder, and it sends the information to the scope and alters the aim point.
People say it takes out the skill a little?

Yes! In standard footprint, my ATN is big and bulky.😅
I have 4 high end Burris scopes-- really great scopes
Nothing like a quality scope. Where I hunt in the brushy mountains a scope ain't needed but appreciated when needed. I like to be able to look under my scope.

Xtreme!
I literally just tuned in at the exact perfect time
Thanks for watching!
If you stretch it out and lose some accuracy change your BC of the bullet and t will pickup accuracy on the entire dialing panel

Son! That scope is one high dollar scope, but it sure does have some fantastic features.
I've heard good things about Buris
Those are cool scopes. Thanks for a video on that one. Gotta be careful though, some states here don't allow hunting game animals with those.
That sounds like the single stupidest hunting law I've ever heard. You're not allowed to have accuracy and convenience at the same time?
@@herbderbler1585 yup
Oregon is one of those states.
@andrewkuperstein3892 yeah, that sucks man. So is my home state Idaho.
Cool as heck. I bought the hi tech Vortex binoculars which does the same thing, but way more efficient when it's being done in the scope! Good luck in Africa
I've been using a Burris eliminator 3 for years and love it 🎉
Awesome
Now I also have the Sig Sauer BDX that i absolutely love!!! Just a pita when you have to use the rangefinder first.
Pretty cool scope 😎 👌
As the rest of viewers can’t wait to see field testing. Thanks so much!
More to come!
Thanks for your educational videos. That scope is a step change in technology that previously was just too expensive to consider.
Thanks for watching
That thing would be killer on a 22lr!!!. Needs exposed elevation and windage dials. And more internal elevation in my opinion.
Not sure I would put a $2500 optic on a 22…
Gotta get that grey matter off the couch .. I've been mind blown 🤯
It is awesome !!
Pretty wild
So, does the scope pull the trigger and field dress also?
Great review, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Yes!!!! When I saw the blackout I was hoping that it was the eliminator. I need this in my life.

This in a 1-10 would be insane.

I might have to get one after your African Safari Hunt 👉🐃🦒🐊. Thanks for the Video Adam.
Cheers 🙏✝️🇨🇦.
Can’t wait to see you put this through its paces. I hope it lives up to the promise.
that is wildly impressive. Any time game can be taken with less chance of injury due to a mistake or poor shot placement, I will take it!
