How many thousands of dollars ? LoL 😂
Just hope they fixed the cold weather issues with the new Veracity PH. Did a cold Elk hunt and it wouldn't work. Replaced batteries several times and after an hour or so in 20 deg weather the scope would not turn on.
That Blows, can you fall back to the data on the App and dial the turrret manually ? Use electric tape and wrap a hamd warmer on it 😂. Thanks for bringing that up.
Aww man! It would have been great to see you! I was the one that stopped you in shot show 2 years ago, Had the eye patch and my brother showed you the suppressors that changed color under heat! Anyways I'm just west of Greeley in Fort Collins. Where the trees and the mountains are haha. If you're ever out again, I would like to go shoot. Or show you some awesome camp spots for you and your fam! Take care!
Same with that tree here in the Texas Panhandle
Was devastated when Nikon stopped making scopes but luckily found your channel. Really appreciate your equipment and especially your scope reviews. Never owned a Burris scope before your recommendation, now I own three. Their optics have came along way since I shot with my Uncles in the 80"s.
Love my Nikons! I wish they would license their glass tech to an up and coming scope maker. I have several 15+ year old Nikons and they still perform like brand new 🤙
Good Scopes are criminally overpriced and ill die on this hill
Go polish the internal glass for 100 hours and get back to me.
What kind of optic manufacturing experience do you have?
Vortex has entered the chat😂
@@krodkrod8132 lol yeah....nobody's doing that haha
Try Tract Optics.
Great scope, but I fancy the approach of Element Optics´ HYPR7 more. Optical scope, but the whole reticle is a digital overlay, fully customizable. Built in weather station (temp, hum, pressure), wireless communication with a capable rangefinder of your choice, you can save and use different gun/ammo profiles. Long battery life, of course app support. Atm there´s only a compact 7x50 available (cheaper than expected), but there´s more to come for sure. If you haven´t already, make sure to check that one out 😉
Yes I really like Burris the eliminator line has been around for a decade they have great warranty and are priced reasonable .
That eliminator 6 is smooth. I like it.
Eliminator 6 vs. 100 gallon challenge?
When I first got invited to a deer camp, I bought a Leupold VX3 for my 243. Not knowing that people bought lots of really high end optics, I was embarrassed that I spent that much. Now, I am saving for a $1000+ scope and range finding binos.
Dude don't even sweat it. High end optics are great but a VX3 is a great deer gun optic and will do most of what the VX5/6 will do. I have some VX freedoms and VX5/6s and I think optically they're very close, all you're missing on lower lines is parallax and elevation adjustment (My $1400 VX5 only has elevation). Your 243 is a sub 400 yard round. No way you need $1000 worth of scope for that far. Save the cash go get a vortex bino and range finder, the combo units are just too expensive imo for the weight you save with one item.
Amazing new products!
Sick scopes
That’s a cool scope with the drop marking.
My first time having Burris too I already in love with the scope
All three are AMAZING…but that third one is also unbelievable…its now a video game scope. LOVE IT.
Wow those are some nice scopes
We've come a long way since the days of carrying a quarter in our pocket to adjust the scope turrets, and I bet the pricetag reflects every bit of it. 😂
sad isn't it !!!😢. i'm sooo tired INFLATED prices bcuz they can.
Yeah no kidding. Turning into a rich man's sport. I have benchmark powder at home that was bought 3 years apart, and a difference of 30 bucks a pound, Unreal!!
Dang, my scope eye is bigger than my bank account.
We all have that problem 😊
I had no idea Burris was located in Greeley Colorado less than 5 miles from my house. I am definitely gonna have to pay them a random visit and see if I can get a factory tour.
Great video
Wow great to see Burris coming out with quality products again.
My dad stripped out the top turret screws on a Burris optic. He gave it to me because it was junk. I contacted Burris and they sent me three new tiny screws. 😅
I used to race motocross in Greeley.
Thanks for coming to my home town 🤙
Unfortunately, the Burris Eliminator is illegal to hunt with in CO. Colorado bans the use of a smart rifle, which includes any firearm that contains a "Ballistics Computer"
I’ve been 3d printing these for years now for my air rifles to swap back and forth from slugs to pellets. Looks a little nicer than my plastic ones for sure haha I like it
Would be good to compare to the Revic RS25b. Although the Revic doesn’t have range capabilities, it has on-board environmental capabilities.
Hi Jim, you were like a 6 year old on Christmas morning making this video. I love my Burris scopes but my budget is at the cheap end of the scale. Only going to 500 yards, the droptine models do the job well for me, after a recommendation from Rob at Deermeat. I hope Burris gave you a new eliminator or that could be an expensive video to make.
I just picked a xtr pro up, great optic.
I have an ATN 4K with ballistic calculator and integrated rangefinder and it does perfectly
How far you able to accurately see out at night?
@@streamylc If you use an IR laser it can illuminate as far as the laser's power can.
Absolutely incredible 😲
Sweet rifles aswell
I have the eliminator 4 and I absolutely love it
I wonder how the Veracity PH and Eliminator would work if you had a 20 moa base. The Eliminator looked like it was in their XTR Signature rings which can be shimmed as well.
Not sure about the new ones, but the original Veracity PH only allowed for 34 MOA of digital adjustment before you hit the zero stop. I removed the zero stop to see if continuing to turn the knob would allow the digital counter to keep going, but sadly, that was the limitation. So, adding a 20 MOA base does nothing for extra distance if you are using the digital aspect, but the scope will still physically adjust beyond 34 MOA if you remove the zero-stop, so you could use the DOPE chart in the app and still use it like a traditional scope.
@@dethmgnt4257 That was the exact answer I was looking for. Thank you!
Great vid Jim.
Damn that Eliminator 6 would be fantastic on a mob of roos 🤣
12:13 this "autocorrect" is the best kind of autocorrect
Definitely going to purchase the eliminator 6
I’m in Greeley CO, and think the Burris gentleman is my neighbor
I think I picked up my Veracity PH for $700 at Optics Planet holiday sale. Of course the new model comes out. Like the look of the new compact models. Great job Burris 👏👏👏
That’s a great deal for that scope.
Cool concept for sure. Sucks that Utah has all the scope restrictions
What's a scope restriction?
@@paulcox9366 Electronics in scopes are illegal in Idaho and Utah as well. The only thing your scope can have is an illuminated reticle.
@@Tyanmax99 thanks. Actually surprised Australia doesn't have that rule yet. Coming hard and fast for us at the moment
It’s sweet technology, but it needs to be banned for hunting in all states. It just promotes long distance shots at animals.
Agreed. I haven’t seen a shred of proof that more animals are taken with electronic scopes.
Does that built in range finder have angle compensation?
Basically like Sigs BDX technology which has been out for a bit. Showing the range is cool through the scope and the ability to shoot further. BDX is only good for 800 yards.
Ya got me with the white out 😂😂
If the markable turret is dry erase, why not remark it instead of needing multiple turrets for different conditions?
I just needs a finer aiming point. That bold vertical crosshair covers up a lot of targets. Also did they happen to tell you the beam divergence on the rangefinder
I bought my 1st Burris scope 2.5-10x42 after watching the factory tour
After Tuesday night, I swore off any scope requiring batteries. Veracity PH had batteries (2) die after only 30 minutes of use. 20 minutes of that was trying to match up the Heads up Display and dialed turrets to the correct MOA. After discussions with Burris and sending in all my app settings, they came back and said I could not use G7 ballistics for my Hornady 147 ELD Match factory ammo. I had to use G1. As you can imagine, not a preferred work around. Manual said if batteries die in the field, you can dial turrets as normal. I tried that and could not hit the target at 350. Scope is off the 6.5 PRC and my Vortex Razor is mounted and hitting dead on at 350. Perhaps this is just a one off experience, but I will not trust a battery on an expensive hunt in the future. And they have to last more than 30 minutes. I religiously turn the scope off each time. And this all took place over 2 months waiting for good shooting weather.
Picked up a Veracity PH a few months ago for $799 and couldn't be happier. Paired up with a 280 AI and its hard to find an excuse when you miss.
I shoot in SE Colorado a bit, no trees there either.
Me too. Just cedars mostly
The last thing I want is more moving parts
wonder if you could trust these electronic gismos at minus 15-20 C (deer season in Canada)
Good question
Never had a burris i love my leupold esp the vx 6. Always heard great things though. I freaking love his taco though.
When will scope come with a built in anemometer?
When they find someone who wants a spinning fan hanging off their scope that they then have to wave their gun around to get the direct cross wind measurement.
@@jimyeatsNah, I use little weather stations for engineering stuff. No moving parts, ultrasonic anemometer with great accuracy.
100 shot challenge with the Burris!
Im surprised we dont see this tech on others
Im still trying to figure out the scope i got.
I would definitely buy one. But Washington State has Restrictions on Electronic scopes. Totally sucks!
So how does the Veracity do against the eliminator??
I have owed a Burris eliminator. I like the new scope, but my concern is most serious shooters don't use factory ammo. We use hand loads for accuracy. Doesn't sound like Burris is targeting our market anymore.
You can use the truing option to dial in factory loads.
What size is the illuminated aiming point? The vertical post seems thick, but I'm not certain since i haven't handled one.
Love the veracity ph
Scopes with battery features are not legal in Idaho to hunt with, but ok for shooting steel etc. 😢
wow, that's a communist law
@@Simon-talks No in Idaho you have to really hunt not rely on gizmos......
Yeah in china, you really have to rely on the government to be your daddy, you don't have the god given right to own a gizmo....
You can have a battery for lighted
Reticle in idaho
@@TheTrebans yes but not range finder readout etc inside scope
I love Burris!!! Now I have to buy another scope.
Burris pulling ahead from the back and gaining a lead
The question is what states can you legally use the ph. Bunch of states don’t allow them.
I only know of Utah and Idaho. Are there others I should know about?
From what I have read in 2 CCR 406-0 it is not legal in Colorado. It talks about smart rifles and uses their verbiage as follows “Smart Rifles means any firearm that is equipped with one or more of the following” subsection 2(c) states “a ballistics computer.” It is vague as it doesn’t explicitly say what a ballistics computer is, however I don’t think I want to test the theory that it is ok. Being that Colorado and Idaho are two states with OTC tags for OOS residents, I’d just go with something else for the ease. Such a cool piece of tech though. Thanks for all you do. I’ve been through your neck of the woods to visit a buddy. Maybe I’ll bump into you next time I’m out there.
I aint gonna lie i was skeptical clicking on this. But i can confidently say that this is the future of rifle scopes, thats epic. Im gonna have to have one when i build the right rifle.
The very scope I’m long at for my 300Norma.
Battery life? I couldn't find any details on the website or manual.
Feature sounds like previous Barrett BORS...Barrett Optical Ranging System.
Are they actually waterproof unlike the veracity you threw in the pool?
Do you still need the windage part of reticle
For me? The BURRIS Eliminator 6. Been lusting for that scope since it first came out. Because it makes for far lower chance of a poor hit wounding game it should be legal in EVERY hunting state.
PLEASE do an entire video on the Eliminator 6 on your favorite hunting rifle.
Hi Jim at what ranges does the eliminator 6 zero your rifle, bear in mind im in the uk, and I don’t have the ground to shoot at distances of more than 250yds. Bob
I’ve loved Burris scopes for 30 years
Is the red dot on the Eliminator night vision compatible with a clip on? I’m thinking no, but figured I would ask.
They might be a bit on the heavy side but I love my burris optics.
This is insanely awesome tech.
Let me know when it's $500 or less. What's wrong with using mil dashes in the retical.
I heard many States don't allow the eliminator 6 for hunting? Any truth on that @backfire?
Oregon is a no-go for them.
@backfire
Could you do a video on the legality of using these scopes for hunting in different states? I want one of these scopes so badly but I know atleast for Colorado, the CPW brochure says smart scopes are illegal. If it’s illegal to hunt with it doesn’t do me much good.
I believe it is NOT legal to hunt with a scope that tells you where to aim in Nevada. Everything up to the red dot telling you where to shoot is tho.
What caliber rifle is that?
LOL, I know exactly where you are at. I've been lying in that exact spot with on of the Team Burris shooters before we shot the Wyoming Tactical Rifle Championship together. Looks like Sky and the boys threw out all the cool toys for you. That had to of been a good day.
During your Burris scope video, are you shooting a Sako and a Tikka UPR. What was the model number of the Sako?
It’s a sako trg
Seems to work well in open country. Useless for woods/brush hunters.
I remember seeing a burris eliminator ad almost 20 years ago
2010 first year of the eliminator, with auto bullet drop trajectory.
I definitely want one, but I'm pretty sure they're out of my price range.
Eliminator 6 is the most advanced scope I’ve seen “aside from thermal and nv, and it retails around 2500
Ok, I will admit that I was a bit skeptical when I saw the title, but now I'm curious how much those beast cost? Because I want one! especially the last one! I hate trying to set my scope for longer ranges while worrying my trophy is about to get away. I know certain my bad math has cost me more times than I would like to admit at well.
2017 Swarovski dS 5-25/53 ...
So what happens when the battery goes dead?
Shhhhhhh
Basically the gun version of the oracle bow sight
I currently own the new veracity PH and I can verify: glass quality is much better!
I'm definitely on the "Great optics cost $$) i am done with decent or good quality. Been there done that. My Delta Stryker 4.5x30x56 is the lowest quality i have left. But its a darn good optic. But its no where near the quality of my 2 NF ATACR's or Vortex Razor Gen III 6x36x56. Superlative glass. Sightron SVIII is also mega glass. Unreal.
That's for Speed Drop.
Scared to price check these, heg
Peter: “Ain't it a crime.”
Stephen: “What?”
Peter: “The only person who could miss with this gun is the sucker with the bread to buy it.”
Amazing! Nice job Burris!
how is the glass quality from the new eliminator? I bought the latest version last summer. But after a few days hunting i gave it back and got another one. But the same issue. Low light quality was an absolute disaster 🙈
really like the concept, but we’re hunting 99% red deer and stag and those come out only in the last hour in our area.
but that wasn’t manageable with that glass quality.
curious to see the price tag in my country for the new one.
maybe I’ll give it a try once more.
The 6 has insanely clear glass . The 4-5 had a yellow tint that hurt low light visibility . Check one out if you have the chance - you won’t be disappointed
Where can you get those write on turrents
Would you post a recoil pad to Australia cheers
