Burris Optics 3-12×44 Eliminator III Laser Rangefinder Riflescope X96 Reticle

When every second counts the Burris Optics 3-12×44 Eliminator III Laser Rangefinder Riflescope eliminates the need to waste time switching between your rangefinder and rifle – just tap, adjust your aim, and pull the trigger. Optically, it is outfitted with a wide and versatile zoom range and an objective that has competent low-light capabilities without being oversized. Index matched, multi-coated optics boost the low-light abilities while also improving color rendition and contrast.

The laser rangefinder, that accurately ranges targets from 50 to 1200 yards, is complemented with a built-in inclinometer that measures the upward or downward angle relative to the target. A bullet drop compensation system that uses the measured range, angle, and user-inputted information on the cartridge in use, to activate and illuminate an adjusted aim point on the reticle. The scope can be programmed for hundreds of commercial loads or, if shooting custom rounds, users may choose a commercial load with specs most closely matching the custom rounds.

Designed to withstand the rigors of the wild, the Burris Optics Eliminator III Laser Rangefinder’s housing is made of durable and lightweight 6061 T6 aluminum with a scratch and corrosion-resistant matte-black anodized finish. Its one-piece main-tube is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to give it waterproof and fogproof performance. For a solid connection, the scope mounts on standard Picatinny/Weaver rail systems.
