BURRIS Eliminator 5
The BURRIS Eliminator 5 is a game-changer for hunters looking for precision at long ranges. Featuring a powerful 4x-16x magnification and a 50mm objective lens, this scope provides crystal-clear clarity, making it ideal for varying shooting distances. The real standout is its built-in rangefinder, which instantly calculates the perfect holdover point for your shot. Whether you're targeting small game at close range or taking down big game at 500 yards, the Eliminator 5 adapts to your needs. I mounted it on my .308 and tested it through dense woods and wide-open fields, and it performed flawlessly—quick, accurate, and efficient. This is the kind of scope that makes every shot count.
