I am thinking about buying a Burris Eliminator III scope for my Weatherby 300 Win Mag. Anybody here have one or experience with one? If so, what are your thoughts?
a vortex crossfire 2 scope weighs 15 ozs as compared to 29 ozs for the eliminator. Thats nearly twice the weight, not 'lighter'' than a typical scope. the largest of the the large nightforce scopes come in at around 32 ozs, with most coming in well under the weight of the Burris as well."Incredibly big, bulky, heavy, and unwieldy" is sort relative, I know that the ones I've used were actually lighter than the typical long range scopes used nowadays (Vortex, Nightforce, etc.). I suppose those characteristics are all relative and the scope might be heavy compared to the average hobby hunter but not to others.
I believe in using modern stuff but I'm not going to use an Eliminator because as was previously statedI don't have one, yet, but have shot one quite a bit and don't see it as a gimmick at all. I use all kinds of modern technology, GPS, binoculars, red dots, and rangefinder. I don't see a problem integrating it into a scope. It's 2016 , not 1916, why not use modern stuff.
