Anyone shot one of these bad boys yet? I could see how some traditionalists may think this is cheating but to me it’s just another tool that could make me much more accurate when it comes to hunting coyotes.
If you’ve had the chance to shoot one, give me your thoughts. How hard was it to calibrate? Any issues with the push button when trying to range an animal?
Kooty,
I had owned the original Eliminator and had it on a Browning A-bolt 270. There has been some significant improvements since then, as they are now in 3rd generation. Prior, it had been just available in a 3×10. Now they also offer a 3×12 & 4×16.
In my original, the laser was great to about 700 yrds, then picking up the reflection was a little spotty. Now they are listed as 1200+ reflective with deer out to 750yrds. I’ve played a little with the 3 and had no problem picking up most targets at 800-900 yrds.
Programming is simple and only takes a couple of minutes. Obviously you need all your data handy so you can stroll through and enter. I wasn’t shooting much over 500yrds. Not that the scope wasn’t capable of delivering the correct elevation, I was just practicing for antelope and knew my 270’s range of 300 to 500yrds.
You need to be realistic in expectations. Like any rifle, rangefinder, ammunition loads,…. you need to practice and know your equipment. The eliminator is a hunting scope. Some guys expect to drill dimes at 700 yrds and that just isn’t the case. To drill good groups with the right matched equipment is realistic. The laser is accurate to 99.5% so needless to say, its a dang good rangefinder.
I like the button placements on the scope. Easy to access in relationship to the for-grip.
I pulled this off the rebate form “Only item numbers 200116

Man, there’s some rich material right there. Must resist… put keyboard down…

Tell me about it…. I can’t see myself shooting over 500 yards with the 250 for yotes but it would be nice to range/aim all at the same time.
Last weekend I was guessing and could have used a bit more confidence on distance.
I have the 1st eliminator and the eliminator 2 and am very pleased with them. I have them on a Custom 7mm WSM and a 308 tactical. The only thing that I would say I am not a fan of it the thick crosshair of the laser.
