I've been looking at the "mid-quality" rangefinding scopes on the market (The three that are under $1000):
1) Nikon "IRT" 2) Burris "Eliminator" 3) Bushnell "Yardage Pro" I don't have any shops in my area that carry these, so my "shopping" has been on-line only. These all look like fairly similar scopes. If anyone has experience with any of these, please share your experience. |

From looking @ the specs, all 3 appear to be the same scope, w/ different branding. If it works as advertised, the current light bullet/high velocity idea may well be upended. No need for a bullet that you can shoot out to 500 yards w/ minimal drop if the scope will automagically calculate where your 45"-70, .458" SOCOM, or .44"-40 Winchester will hit @ 481 yds. Coming out @ the same time as suppressed hunting rifles are gaining popularity, this scope technology may account for a lot of deer in the next couple of decades.

I've had a lot of experience with teh Eliminator and the Yardage Pro and have to tip my hat to the Eliminator. In all honesty, they look very similar when holding them in your hands, almost like they come out of the same factory. I do like the Burris software and have more experince with it, so I am more comfortable with the Eliminator. Burris keeps developing the technology which is a good sign, they are really trying to advance the rangefinding scope market, hence the Eliminator III, but a much bigger price tage. Trevor B. |
