- Steve West from Steve's Outdoor Adventures walks you through how to program the Burris Eliminator III Rangefinding Riflescope in less than 6 minutes. The Eliminator is easy to use and really easy to set up.
Simply:
1. Mount the scope
2.Zero the scope at 50, 100 or 200 yards (that's up to you)
3. Enter your ballistic code which you can find here: ballistics.burrisoptics.com/e...
It's that simple. Now you're ready to push a button and extend your effective range! - บันเทิง
I got this scope for my Howa 1500 precision rifle build. It's such a sweet scope.
Much appreciated! 🙌
That's really impressive shooting. I don't think most people would attempt a shot over five hundred yards, but it's nice to know you can.
Thanks for your interest!
Right said. But ammunition must needed of that capacity.
Awesome video. What caliber rifle is that? Looks great!
So, what model scopes will have 6.5 creedmoor reticle?
You never explained where you got your bullet drop code from, I'm shooting 6mm ARC and when I go to the Burris tool it doesn't give me "a code" for bullet drop.
Hello Tony,
Did you use the Eliminator tool on our website? I just ran a 6mm ARC load and was able to view the drop information at the end of the process.

If you have specific additional questions please email customerservice@burrisoptics.com
Hello, the website you posted on the video and in the comments above #3, do not work. I haven't been able to find the right ballistic code so I can zero in my rifle. Could you please direct me to the right website or wherever I need to go so I can find the caliber I'm using to zero in. thank you
what rifle stand are you using?
Anyone know the bullet drop code for a Powerbelt ELR .45 285 gr? It is not listed in the cartridge list that came with the scope and I received an error message when manually entering it into the Ballistic tools page on the website.
Contact our technical support team. They will be glad to help. Please have your muzzle velocity, BC, and environmental conditions available for the team. Did you run the load data with a 50 yard zero? You will receive and error message it the 50 yard zero was not used.

What adjustments would you need to do if you are hunting at different altitudes. I hunt anywhere from 6,000 to 11,000 feet in the same day.
They have an app for it. It uses your GPS services in your phone to tell you everything.
How do I find out how much does my bullet drop from 100 yards to 750? And how do I find out my bc?
Your bc will be on the box of your bullet if not Google it,the scope when you have it programmed will work out the drop for you
Can you please tell me the difference between the Eliminator IV and the Eliminator Eliminator IV, X96 Elimi + Wind Reticle? Model 200133 / Manufacture Date 2020 vs. Model 20-0155 / Manufacture Date March 29, 2022. Amazon has them listed as different scopes. The second one is nearly twice the price but seams to be exactly the same? Thanks for your help.
The 200133 is the Eliminator IV, and the 200155 is the Eliminator V. The V has newer features and improvements, which is why it is more expensive.
What info are you using on your cartridge box? I bought the Burris eliminator 3, but my ammo that Im using is not listed. Thank you!
You need the BC (Ballistic Coefficient) of the bullet and your muzzle velocity. Many ammo manufacturers list the muzzle velocity on the box, however it is more accurate to measure the actual velocity from your gun, as it often varies slightly.
Best thing to do is get a chronograph, and check your velocity. What manufacturers state on their ammo box is rarely correct in the reality. Plus depends on conditions of their test, like temperature, altitude, humidity, barrel length, and powder consistency. Many times its about 100 FPS less than the box states.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany does this scope work with a 28 nosler?
you have to put some shim between the visor and the pincantini rail to compensate the space between them, in the video it is not explained.
Yes they said there are 3 but not how many or how to choose A
Hi Steve, please help! Just heading to range Eliminator V, where is the hole on dial when adjusting POA to POI ? Then turning dial to zero ?
Thanks in advance!! 🇨🇦👍
You won't need to use the hole on the turret when zeroing, that's just for after when you reset the numbered collar to line up with the "0" mark. The hole is very small, typically aligned with the 0 or 8 on the dial.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany yes, found the hole 😂
👍
Your website indicates that this a rear focal plane scope. Wouldn’t that make the red dot hold over accurate only when under full magnification?
The digital Reticle is FFP it changes size as you zoom, it's really pretty impressive when you see it. The static Reticle is sfp.
@@rarelyaccurate6252sfp?
What do u use to rangefind what needs to be on target is it the reticle that u put on target for initial measurement
The center crosshair is used for ranging
Hey guys, I zeroed my scope in at 100yds on the weekend. I’m a bit confused on the BC number to enter. The chart says the BC number is 0.197 what do I enter into the scope. (Eliminator 3)
Cheers from Australia.
Your BC in this case would be entered as "19".
@@BurrisOpticsCompany thank you so much.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Happy to help!
Kudos for having a brain that views this as "really easy!" I wish I was that smart. Analog scopes make sense to me, but these new programable scopes are not, "really easy" for me.
Feel free to reach out anytime and we will be glad to walk you through how to use these scopes. It is "really easy."
I have ssg 04 rifle 308 win caliber whit 150 grain what numbers do I put for this in burris 4 help please
Check out this awesomeness: www.burrisoptics.com/ballistics#:1
I have this scope fitted on my 30o6. N this is really worth 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you for your support.
Where did you come up with the bullet drop for a hand load ?
You can run your load data in any ballistic app to get your drop correction in inches at 750 yards with a 100 yard zero. You would simply need to chronograph your load, know the BC and your environmental conditions to get your drop number.
One thing I keep seeing on these scopes makes it look like you are looking through fog. Why is the glass so foggy?
Due to the LCD screens in the scope, the image never translates well on camera.
I was told that using a suppressor affects the bullet drop... have you experienced a similar situation?
A suppressor typically causes a slight increase in velocity. We highly recommend programming your Eliminator after chronographing your load with suppressor attached. That way you can get the most accurate numbers. 👍
@@BurrisOpticsCompany okay, thank you. 👍🏾
Anytime! Thanks for your interest.
I have sig sauer elite copper 300WMAG I cannot figure out what the bullet drop is at 750 yards, I have checked the sig sauer chart but it does not go up to 750, any ideas?
Your best bet is to run all of your load data through this Eliminator specific calculator www.burrisoptics.com/ballistics#:1
Im wondering if i dont a 750 yard to shoot at is 2 or 300 good enough. We aint got a range to shoot that far..well my scope still be ok if i just do zero at 100 and test it at 200 and 300 only
That will be a good place to test and see if you are hitting where you need to be.
You talk about needing the muzzle velocity twice in your video. But the scope program doesn't need muzzle velocity entered in the program mode. When and why do we need muzzle velocity to program the scope, especially when the ballistics chart is available. Im asking because i am shooting hand loads that obviously are not on the chart. How am I supposed to get the info if i don't have a 750 yrd place to shoot
By chronographing or knowing your true velocity, you get even closer to being on at 750. We recommend entering all this information on our ballistic calculator to get your best starting point. The cartridge list is still perfectly fine, but this will get you even closer. 👍www.burrisoptics.com/ballistics#:1
Different barrel lengths produce different bullet drops using the same cartridge...ie different muzzle velocity.
Did I miss it? What caliber are you shooting? What make of ammunition in what grain bullet?
Steve touched on the key components of ballistics that are not related to caliber or make of ammunition's. The numbers that matter when running ballistic data are muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, sight height above bore, temperature, and you density altitude. Knowing all this information about any ammunition will provide you with the dope information needed to dial for distance, or in this specific instance to get the drop number for an Eliminator.
The information that you program into the Eliminator are your zero range, your drop in inches at 750 yards with a 100 yard zero, and the ballistic coefficient of the bullet.
Using our online ballistic tools app (Eliminator) makes this process rather easy. You can either use the recommended information above in manual input, or select your ammunition for our vast library of cartridges. The end out put of our program shows you the exact numbers that you will program into the Eliminator scope.
www.burrisoptics.com/ballistic-tools
Let us know if you have any further questions.
what is the closest it can be zeroed in?
50 yards for slow velocity ammunition (muzzle loaders, slugs, etc). 100 yards for standard ammunition (supersonic)
How much better is the Eliminator IV over the 3 ? I have a 3 but not sure it’s worth upgrading ...anyone ?
The Eliminator IV is awesome good, way better.
@@SOAonline but still only x16 power ..increased laser to 2000 yards. My opinion they should have increased to a x25 zoom. IMO
So if your BC is .41 (per factory) and you hunt ay 7000 ft altitude you enter .53 BC and corrected BC drop at 750 yards at that altitude?
Correct, you'll want to adjust for large changes in altitude/density altitude. Our calculator has a program specific for the Eliminator where you can find altitude adjusted ballistic.
zero at 100 yards would be zero at center or above 1.5 inches ?
Zero is dead on not above or below. 1.5 inches is not zero at 100, that could be any distance beyond 100 yards dependent on the caliber. Not being dead on will affect the programmed ballistic curve beyond 100 yards, at all distances.
Q? I zeroed my rifle at a 100 yd using 165 gr bullets so my question is, can I set my eliminator 3 for 180 gr bullets and use 180 gr bullets even though I zeroed it with a 165 gr??
You'll always need to reconfirm your zero and drop number when switching ammunition.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany How do you reconfirm your zero then when switching ammo? So would I zero/reset the windage torrents, make sure to enter my new ammo correctly in the scope and then zero the new ammo in to as close to bullseye at 100 yards? Then when it is good to go I would reset the windage torrents right?
Love the idea of the scope but who has a 750-yard range to find out the drop?
There are many many places to do this, it just depends on where you live.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany East Aurora NY
I contacted the ammo manufacturer by email. Hornady gave the 750 yard drop for 6.5 PRC at sea level as 123.9.
Do you the same product for cal 177?
Almost $2000 for an optic and you want it on a pellet gun that is probably only capable of 100 yards?
What about your bor height adjustment?
It doesn't matter since you're validating your shooting off real world data and feedback from the target.
I just bought one and the blue light on remote constantly blinks is this normal???
It will blink until paired successfully with the scope
I programmed mine at 1535feet using federal 150 grain 2820fps, gave me 198 for drop and 31 for bc … book says 207 for drop and 31 for bc …. 207 is 0 ft altitude so I rounded off between 1000 and 2000 ft where I will be shooting and got 198 for drop and 31 bc as my number after a 100m dead zero half inch group … can anyone advise me if I have done something wrong ? Or am I good to go ?
I would say you are good-to-go.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany thanks for getting back to me!…. Awesome!!
Glad to help anytime.
Doesn't the suppressor change the muzzle velocity?
It does, typically adding a small amount of velocity. Not usually noticeable, as it falls within the parameters of the rounds "standard deviation" in the overwhelming majority of cases. You can have POI shift by adding a suppressor but it isn't necessarily related to the increase in muzzle velocity.
@@BurrisOpticsCompany Wow...thanks for responding.
Anytime, thanks for watching!
@@BurrisOpticsCompany I just ordered the Eliminator IV. I haven't been this excited since I got my first gun at 12 years old. Yee Haw!!!
Thanks for choosing Burris!
Do you have to re-zero if you change cartridge/load or just adjust numbers on program?
You will absolutely need to zero again if you use different ammo.
@@Error_404_Account_Deleted How do you zero it for new ammo? Thanks.
Nice
😁
Pourriez vous paramètrer la burris eliminator 3 en français? Le calibre 7mm remington magnum ks rws est'il dans le tableau balistique? Merci d'avance.
133 yard bullet drop??? Between you and 750 yard ? You mean inches?
I do believe you're correct. I think he meant inches.
Hi, where I can find 133?
That's so funny the bullet goes right by the bulls and they don't even notice or care. Idk what they are fighting about but they are committed
Agreed and well said 👍😁
So sad I shoot a 224 and do a 1 moa at 1300 yards and a 300prc and print one moa at 2550 yards and with proper carona measurement and program of ballistics each bullet rack I ze r o at one hundred and dial elevation and then put in windage that his thing doesn't know and have 1300 yard on 224 zero and 2600 Ero on 300 prc first shot. This scope does nothing on windage.
Incorrect, the scope will give you a wind hold based on the ballistics you enter. Like all scopes, it is up to the shooter to call the wind and use the hold accordingly. It most definitely does help with wind.
Alguém entendeu alguma coisa???
Did you have a question?
Being a family rancher type guy, I sure hope you know where all the livestock are on your "range". The trees back there could be full of them.
And you care why? His cattle.
Good lord! Look out cows you're in my way! That's pretty irresponsible shooting.....
The cows were 30 40 50 yards away from where he was shooting safe shot in my book
It's only irresponsible if he knows he's a poor shot or knows that his equipment was out of adjustment, which he proved his sight was on, on the first targets. If they were in his Y axis, then it would have been irresponsible.
