survivalshop Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Any one check one of these out or have one ? I have one one then way & got it very cheap , even though its a refurbished unit , I still got it it very cheap . I have several refurbished Nikons & they work fine, so not really worried about that fact. This is replacing the Nikon , Buckmaster 6x18x40 , I have on my 16" 308AR because it has a duplex reticle & I want the MilDot for the longer ranges I will be shooting later .
Microgunner Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Not much of a fan of the 50mm objective lens. Extra parallax for a very small amount of extra light transmission. I prefer 40mm and smaller but I guess at long range shooting only it'll make little difference. Sounds like a fine and useful scope.
98Z5V Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Any one check one of these out or have one ? :eek: I have one one then way & got it very cheap You have no idea how glad I was to read that one, after the first one!... <laughs> You know what was coming next! <lmao>
survivalshop Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Posted July 16, 2014 Yes , you were all baited <laughs> Wanted to see if someone jumped in with both feet before they read the whole post . <thumbsup>
survivalshop Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Posted July 19, 2014 Nice scope , I can't wait to play with it at the range . I'll post a photo when I get a chance.
Sisco Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 Just bit on this: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/913466/burris-ballistic-laser-rangefinding-rifle-scope-4-12x-42mm-eliminator-illuminated-reticle-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding Have no idea if it will work or be a white elephant. At this price I will take a chance.
survivalshop Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Posted July 21, 2014 Looks like a good deal . I like Burris scopes .
Sisco Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 It was, both Midway and Optics Planet were sold out in a day. It is being replaced by the Eliminator 3 which has upgraded distance, reticle, electronics and an improved laser rangefinder. But it is $1200. This I can afford. Will do a comprehensive write up after I get a chance to wring it out.
survivalshop Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Posted July 23, 2014 Well I have to order 30mm rings for this beast , I could swear they said 1" tube . Doooooo! Nice wrapping , its in a cloth baggie. might be a micro fiber one ? Big scope , bigger than the Nikon that's on the 16" 308 Bad photo but you get the idea of the Balistic mil dot reticule Tac II adj. knobs, resettable zero
Sisco Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 Sweet! I currently have a Burris Fairfield on my AR10T, soon to be transferred to my AR15 HBAR. Burris makes good stuff. Look forward to your writeup.
survivalshop Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Posted July 23, 2014 Ordered some Maxima QR rings today , a set of 30mm & a 1" set ( for my 300BLK ), price was fair, as far as I can tell till I have them in my hands .
survivalshop Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Posted July 29, 2014 The rings came in today , nice rings , but the instructions were not up to par , I really don't need instructions , but read them any way . Instruction read with four screws for the QR rings & these QR rings had six , so kinda not up to date with there products . Mounting went OK , after leveling scope to upper receiver , I removed the scope a couple of times to see if it would come back to level & it was off every time , not an awful lot but still off & that would effect you at longer ranges to stay zeroed. I think they are more of a QR to remove a damaged scope to go to your BUIS , than to remove & reinstall when change optics . Not a problem I'm not going to use them that way , they are permanent , to me . The Nikon I took off seemed to weigh a bit more than this Burris , could be the Burris Ultra Tactical rings on there , because they are big & heavy . Before after Comparison
survivalshop Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Posted August 1, 2014 This scope had to be the easiest I have ever sighted in or was just lucky . I fired four shots at 25 yards , just to make sure it would hit paper @ 100 made minor windage & elevation adj. & @ 100 took only three rounds to put them dead center . Then I fired five rounds on the smaller sight in square on the target & man , they were right on the money . I gave the 24"x24" cardboard backer to a guy at the range that had none & forgot to take the target off , but this scope impressed me on its clarity & I do like the Ballistic mil dot reticle on this scope also . Now to make a home for the Nikon , that was on there <thumbsup>
