Picked one of these up yesterday from Scheels. Saw a video where they ran it out to 700-800 yds and it seemed to work really well.
I got it mounted up on a 25PRC as I had not zeroed the scope that was on it currently.
Got out to the range early today zeroed it then ran it out on all the steel to 654.
I was impressed! It was spot on. Wind got me at 500 hitting slightly to the right but on the way back in I saw the wind had died so I aimed at the spot I had hit earlier and hit it.The rangefinder works well and is fast and the display in the top of the scope reminds me of the Sig 10K with all your info and a level so you don’t need an external level…I put one on anyway.
Of course it couldn’t be that easy…. The parallax knob is jacked up and doesn’t really seem to be even working at all. It will only move about half of what it’s supposed to and doesn’t appear to do anything.
Waiting on call back from Burris but plan to use it this weekend as it will be OK for this one hunt before getting sent back.

Got to use the Burris on an Aoudad/elk hunt this past weekend. I was the guide so I didn’t shoot but everyone used my rifle. They were 100% killing 4 Aoudad and 2 elk with shots ranging from 80yds to 450 ish. I wouldn’t let them shoot past that with winds gusting to 60mph. We passed on a lot of animals in the 500+ range.
Scope was spot on and the Berger 133 Elite hunter bullet did better than I really expected.

Elevation tracking tends to fall apart at 500 yards and greater.

I know it’s good to 654 yds but haven’t been farther yet but in reality if it’s spot on to that distance as a pure hunting scope that’s going to cover 98% of hunting scenarios.
