    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    Thanks. I saw your review, very helpful. I will try to shoot well past 1,000 yards and report back. For what it's worth, I had no problem getting a firing solution with the 6.5CM at 960 yards and I ranged the 1,100 yard target and got a solution. If the previous versions stopped providing...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    Agree that hunting out to 700/800 yards is generally what the scope is designed for and the results proved out this application. I would like to determine if the ballistic solution can be fine tuned to do accurately go beyond 1,000 yards with good rifle/cartridge combinations. The rifle and...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    Yes, that’s also my understanding based on the scuttlebutt – good Japanese glass in the XTR line for sure and likely in the Eliminator 6 too. I have two Burris XTR IIIi 3.3-18x50 SCR2 reticle scopes. The optical quality is very good for the price, the combination of FOV and depth of field is...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    I agree, FFP with a good mil tree reticle would be much better (or MOA tree for those who speak MOA). My understanding is that it is much more difficult to produce an accurate FFP reticle scope that has an aiming solution projected onto the reticle as compared to an SFP. Hopefully this...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    I can conditionally recommend the Eliminator 6, pending the additional work I need to do described in the conclusions, but don’t know about the earlier Eliminator versions. The optics were not as good for the earlier versions according to the reviews. I don’t think the E6 has been on sale yet...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Eliminator 6 Accuracy Range Test Review

    All of the observations, conclusions and opinions that follow are strictly my own views. There will be others who see things differently or don’t like the test procedures, I can only do my best. I hope this review helps some Hide members who are wondering about the Burris Eliminator 6, or...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    Yes, that's the idea and your comments are helpful, thanks. At 200 yards with a red dot I make more hits than misses on a small target from an improvised position when there is plenty of time per shot. But when I practice with position movement and faster shots I am considerably better with...

    Ok guys. Not sure what turns your crank, but I've had enough of it for now. Take care.

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    No measurement is perfect. An imperfect measurement can be referred to as an estimate. An estimate of a performance parameter is far better than knowing nothing about the performance parameter. The more resolution one attempts to characterize in a performance parameter test, such as the...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    Right, but it does if you need to shoot unmagnified at 150-200 yards which is not at all an unimportant circumstance. We've been practicing at that distance and that is why I considered going to a holo sight, thought it would have less parallax. Instead I learned that regardless of holo or...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    Great - thanks! Haven't been able to attend lately due to family/entertaining in the evening but will make a point for the next one if there is a little advance notice.

    Rifle Scopes Does anything rival the Burris XTR3 for the money? If so, what ?

    My $0.02. If your application works with the reduced FOV and higher magnification, the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 FFP with mil tree reticle is a little better than the XTR III 3.3-18x50 SCR-2 IMO for a similar price (when both are on sale). I have both scopes and really like them both for...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    Thanks Ilya. I was wondering if you might see this and weigh in. As always your experience and knowledge are greatly appreciated. I was wondering about whether the parallax error sensitivity due to to a given amount of eye displacement distance might be better in the center of a holo (or...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    This is an interesting statement: "...people here who know more on this subject and have tried to gently nudge you that you are incorrect in your testing/assessment.... Unfortunately sometimes those that know more and that could easily dispel your testing methods and results, simply can't...

    Perhaps not everyone knows what you know. And if you already knew the results, why give me such a hard time for posting them?

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    The above statement is very different than saying there isn't a bunch of information out there saying holographic sights are way better in parallax error than a reflex red dot. The above statement I agree with and that is why I posted the test results.

    A couple of many examples are provided below. (1) From: https://tacticalgear.com/experts/reflex-sights-vs-holographic-sights-which-do-you-need "Reflex sights offer good eye relief and low parallax, but holographic sights are even better in both respects... " (2) From...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    I respect your diligence with respect to the theoretical doors that may be left open here. I have worked in the technical fields all my adult life and have conducted many hundreds of tests and experiments on all sorts of products. It is very hard to close every door regarding what the...

    EOTech Holographic Sight Parallax Induced POA Error Compared to Reflex Red Dot Sights

    OK - I will do some additional testing when I get a chance to see if there is variation in the MOA error as a function of distance. I have 6 different red dot models I can try at different distances and can go back to the gun shop to try the EOTech and Vortex models at different distances. I...
