1. Can I use rimfire or subsonic ammo?

Yes with item 200119. No with items 200120 and 200116.

Only the latest model Eliminator III will work with rimfire or subsonic ammo. When the scope was redesigned to allow a remote cable, it was also updated with additional memory. This allows a wider range of ammunition including most rimfire, and subsonic such as .22LR, .17HMR, .300BLK and 7.62x39.

Item number 200120 and 200116 are not compatible with rimfire or subsonic, as the rounds drop too quickly and fall outside the software limits.

2. Why am I having problems ranging?

The Eliminator III will NOT range through windows, screens, or camo netting. It needs an unobstructed path for the beam to travel. The Eliminator scope uses an infrared beam to range targets. The beam has to pass through the objective lenses and several other layers inside the scope in order to range a target. It is especially important to keep your objective lens clean. We recommend rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, or a lens cleaner to ensure the beam has a clear path of travel. DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, as this will strip the protective coatings from your lens.

3. Why do I have trouble longer distances?

The Eliminator III scope will range non-reflective targets to approx. 750 yards, and reflective targets out to approx. 1200 yards. Non-reflective targets include animals, trees, bushes, etc. Reflective would be light colored/reflective metallic objects like targets, glass, automobiles, etc. Black targets and animals are NOT reflective enough at longer distances.

Like all rangefinders, the Eliminator will be affected by weather and ambient. It will be more difficult to range in heavy rain, snow, or fog as they can impede the beam.

4. What if my firearm has a canted rail?

The Eliminator comes with an accessory box, which includes 3 shims that will remove cant from your setup. They are labeled A, B and C.

A=10 MOA B=20 MOA C=30 MOA

5. What size rings do I need?

None. The Eliminator mounts to any picatinny rail using supplied picatinny clamps. These clamps will come with your scope: all you need to provide is the rail.

6. Will I have enough time to take a shot when I range a target?

The Eliminator has a display that will stay active for 90 seconds. Your range will disappear sooner, but your aiming point will remain for 90 seconds.

7. What is the torque spec for the base clamps?

50 inch pounds.

Eliminator® III LaserScope® 3-12x44mm is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 123.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BGibbs from Exceeded Expectations I mounted the Eliminator III on my new 300RUM and went to the range. The scope zeroed quickly and consistently at 100 and the ballistic table included with the scope provided the correct drop and ballistic coefficient for my specific ammo. I shot accurately out to 500yds. The scope easily ranged targets past 1000 yds. but 500 is my max for ethical hunting. Entering the drop number and BC is much easier than I expected. Fast forward to Wyoming in October. I used the instructions provided to adjust my drop number and BC for the 6,000 ft. change in elevation from my home in TN to Cody, WY. After confirming that the adjustment was dead on we went to the field. I harvested an antelope at 407 and a mule deer at 112. Both shots were right behind the shoulder. I simply pushed the button and the scope provided the correct holdover dot. Using a separate range finder, counting mill dots or clicks and then acquire the target takes time that you often don't have in a hunting situation. The Eliminator III eliminates those steps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlaskaShooter from Fast and accurate Zeroed the scope at 100 after entering my ammunition information. Ranged a small steel plate at 327 yards, adjusted to the point the Eliminator III displayed and pulled the trigger. Dead center shot within a few seconds. No fiddling back and forth with a range finder, no turret adjustments, just tap, adjust, shoot. Quite often a person's window of time for the shot on game is available but for a few precious seconds after weeks worth of work. With any other system, the animal has time to disappear or get turned. Several times I've taken game there is not time for anything BUT what only the Eliminator III can provide. The mount is more solid than any scope made, rail to rail. There's zero chance of knocking it out of alignment. The optics are distortion free. The reticle is awesome. If you can read your wind, the reticle will get you on target. I'm not kidding, if you value your hunt, you'll value this scope.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nodakian from Solid tracking Matched with an AR10 308,few shots consistent tracking right out of the box! Havnt had the oppertunity for long range shooting yet, but this scope showing its built properly be for i had even touched the electronics. The electronics portion very simple to figure out. From what i can tell im excited to get out and try my luck with the longer ranges. My suggestion is read the 10pages of the owners manual (15 min of reading) take the time to know how your bullet acts and velocity, elevation makea a difference also! Call the tech line and the people are awesome. In short without long range training im very confident

Rated 4 out of 5 by JosephW from Great Scope!! My Browning A-bolt chambered in 7mm Rem Mag has had a Burris Signature 3x9-40 on it for 26yrs and is now serving duty on my fathers old Remington CDL 700 chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. In any case when it was time to replace it, I had completed nearly 2yrs of reading forums and reviews on the Burris Eliminator lll which prompted me to purchase one to install on my Browning 7mm. I have since used this rifle and scope combination for the past 3yrs off the bench at my local range which has target bunkers installed from 100yrds to 600yrds. Off the bench shooting Premium factory ammunition by Federal, Hornady, & Winchester. Shooting this ammunition from my rig has allowed me to hit every target on the range from under 1 1/2" groups on the 100yrd targets out through the range on 8" steel plates hitting each consecutively, even on windy days using the winds advice given in the scope during ranging. In addition to shooting from the bench I have hunted BEAR, COYOTE, MULE & WHITETAIL DEER, MOOSE, & ELK throughout ALBERTA CANADA in the fall with temperatures fluctuating between +10 F to well below -20 F. I have adjusted the ballistic coefficient on this scope for 5 different loads, made 100's of range requests through sleet, snow, & fog yet have not needed to replace the battery. Albeit, ranging targets in adverse conditions is certainly not absolutely fool proof, but it performs well enough to satifiy my expectations from a scope and rangefinder. This scope has served me very, very well & my only criticism is the optics are not as clear as I initially desired & that the remote activation switch introduced on previous models and on the newest Eliminator lll does not retrofit onto my older Eliminator lll.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brushoakie from Carefully selected purchase. The quality of this scope is quite good! I mounted it on the rail and tested at 100 yards. I was 30 inches low. I rechecked the mount and discovered an excessive gap at the front of the mount. This was due to the ceracoat on the rail. I dressed the high spot out and remounted the scope. On steel at 100 yards first shot! zeroed at 100 and the target pictured is at 751 yards in a crosswind. This was my first shot at 751 yards. EVER. This will only get better. The pressure required to activate the ranging button is high enough that it will throw you off at distance. Need to be lower of adjustable. The ballistic drop cheat sheet is far from comprehensive . Burris needs to continue to add to the list..(hint) Aguila 7.62x51 fmjbt. I consider this a lifetime purchase. You wont be sorry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steph from Spot On!!! I bought my Eliminator III 4-16x50mm in March 2015. I struggled to get the bullet drop correct, but as many other I did not read the Manual completely. After reading that the easiest is to physically measure the drop over 750 Yards. All my calculations fell into place. What a awesome feeling to hit the target every time over 750 Yards. Something I never thought possible. My first shot in the field landed a 208 Pound Gemsbok Bull. Amazing feeling, one of my best Lifetime buys. Thanks Burris for a magnificent piece of equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MSolo from Nice! After reading the manual, I had issues with sighting in my scope as It wouldn’t range. I didn’t know if it was defective or operator error so I turned to U-Tube. The video was old and the scope was a little different. I finally found a current video on another web site (Since I am an auditory and kinesthetic learner) and now, all is good. Your web site is great, especially your program for adjusting for altitude but you should add an in-depth video on showing how to set-up, program and use the latest Eliminator lll scope. This scope worked well at the range when I was sighting it in and I can’t wait to use it on my elk hunt this month.

Rated 5 out of 5 by David from Deadly machine for rifle that I will buy more of I bought this eliminator 3 about 4- 5 months ago and used it hunting in alaska for bear. It is awesome and extremely easy to use. We had a tough time seeing anything but I finally got a chance that the boat captain said was unmakable because you would spook him if you tried to climb up there to get within decent shooting range. I told him, I was a texan who shot pigs all the time at long distance so put me ashore and I would show him how texans shoot. Set myself up for disaster if missed by saying that but didn't tell him the technology I was using for the 700 yard shot nor that I had practiced the day before from the top of one mountain down to the beach where I nailed a 6 inch piece of floating lilly pads at 650 yards with a 10mph sidewind. The bear was up on the side of the mountain at about 700 yards from the beach and the first mate put us on the beach thinking we were going to sneak up the mountain. I lay down on the beach and put crosshairs on it, with range saying 654 yards and 1.7 clicks per 10mph so with the 5 mph wind,put the red dot on the adjusted crosshair .8 clicks to windward side and dropped him. LOL The captain freaked out and we had our first bear. Everyone then switched out and use this 300mag eliminator 3 combo to get 3 more bears and everyone was amazed at how fast you can acquire and shoot at distance compared to the old computation clicking in method. It is a tough scope too because my strap insert popped out and the gun fell in the rocks hitting on the scope and yet it continued to work without a problem. totally awesome rig and love it and will buy more.

Is the illuminated aimpoint precise for the lasered range or is it the nearest hash mark? I was wondering how it worked for "in between" ranges that did not fall on a hash mark.

Asked by: someguy

The illuminated aimpoint is rounded to the nearest 1/3 MOA. An aimpoint dot covers the span from halfway below to halfway above the dot-to-dot spacing (1/3 MOA). That is: a dot is selected from -1/6 MOA to +1/6 MOA from its center position.
