Has anyone had a chance to see or use the new burris eliminator 3? I hunt out in open range in Montana and do a lot of shooting between 300-700yrds. Seems like it would be useful......Thanks

Unless I hear something negative about it I'm going to get one and give it a try. T thought the official release date was May?

Re: Burris eliminator 3
I've messed around with every version before they came out to the public, their factory is right down the road and I shoot at their range but I've never had hands on a finished/retail version. I like the idea more than I like the actual product but only because it's pretty bulky and heavy but it ranges good to 800yrd on hair and is a little hit and miss beyond that. I like how you can load in your own tables and get instant solutions. It's great and have used it for hunting the plains for speed goats and the like so if your using it in the open up there in Montana it's going to be perfect but it's no go in the forest/dark timber where the range is <50yrds 'cus you don't need to range in there anyway and really any scope is pointless. If they could put it on a diet it would be a no brainer.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm sure if I search the forum I'll find plenty of info. of the Barrett BORS system but my question is: Practically speaking when long distance hunting does their effectiveness over lap much or does the BORS blow the Eliminator 3 away?...................Thanks.....

Re: Burris eliminator 3
I'd start out with it on my 300 WHBY MAG at no more than 1200 yrds? Ideally, I'd like to be more consistant at shooting 800-1000yrds............Thanks
