BURRIS ELIMINATOR LASERSCOPE

Meet the future of Marksmanship!  We had the opportunity to test this BURRIS Eliminator Laserscope and we are certain it will re-define how police snipers, tactical operators, and even patrol officers do their job.  What makes this laserscope so innovative and unique is its ability to merge the functions of taking a shot where distance becomes a factor.

We are still at the early stages of testing but wanted to give an initial report of our findings.  The scope does so many things in the background it is difficult to wrap your head around the idea that a scope can take into consideration range, angle, and even factor in the size of the round being fired. 

The laserscope was originally designed to help hunters take long shots while increasing the efficiency of the shot.  The laserscope works very simply, place your cross hairs on the target, hit a button, and the scope will do the rest.

Once configured to match the rifle and round being fired, the laserscope then uses the rangefinder to display a distance and lower the red dot to compensate for the drop of the bullet.  It really is that simple!

The scope is 4x12x42mm meaning the back of the laserscope has an adjuster which lets the shooter zoom the scope from 4x power being the weakest (still very powerful) all the way out to 12x which brings the target to whole new level of clarity.

We see this being extremely useful for law enforcement and are amazed at what Burris has been able to accomplish with one single device.  Conventional snipers often have spotters who provide a number of details including distance, wind, elevation, and other factors for the sniper to account for. 

The shooter must then take all of the information, put it into a equation and take a shot based on the factors.  The Burris eliminator will lower the variables a shooter has to account for and allow him to focus on the fundamentals of taking a shot if needed.  This becomes even more critical when the stakes are on the line and you may be firing at an adversary trying to kill you or someone else. 

Burris has plans to tailor this laserscope even more to the uses of law enforcement and we are very anxious to fire the next version which is under current development, especially since we are overwhelmingly impressed with the current scopes ability.  The spokesperson from Burris was eager to listen to a law enforcement / military perspective which explains why they continue to evolve ahead of the pack with this new technology. 

We plan to post more footage of our tests, so check back.  In the meantime here is a teaser video which gives a visual overview of the scope and how its setup:
