For those of you who have shot both, do you have a preference? Seems like you can find them both for the same price right now.
Seems like the eliminator is the new hotness, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better. I see the thread below reporting some focus issues.
I’ve seen the Burris Veracity PH on sale ($595 3-15 power) and has me curious… but haven’t seen the Burris Eliminator any where below (old model V) under $1049… I’ve been looking at these too… but I think because I’m already using my rangefinder bino’s to glass in the 1st place, I’m leaning towards the Veracity, also less overall bulk
After a member pointed out last week issues with the clarity of the optics on the eliminator, I shot with mine this week and yeah… it’s not great. I think I was blinded by the cool tech and didn’t really notice the clarity not being great.
still an amazing scope though.
Hi Jim-But what’s your thoughts on the Veracity PH? Do feel there’s the same clarity issues with it?
The more I look into it, the more confused I am. There are many different versions of the eliminator. This one is the (semi) affordable version called the eliminator 5 at roughly $1250. I am assuming this is the one with clarity issues?
Then there is the eliminator 6 which is $2500. That is waaaaaay out of my price range for what i am looking to do.
Then there is the veracity PH for about $1200.
Also unclear is the difference in the tech on the veracity vs eliminator. Not any good tutorials I can find (including the Burris website) that spells it out.
The Eliminator has a built-in laser rangefinder. Aim at the target, hit the button which sends out the laser and ranges it. Then it places a Red Dot on the appropriate stadia line for that particular range. Put the Red Dot on the Target and pull the trigger.
The veracity does not have the laser rangefinder. Instead it has a display which instead of displaying MOA or mil, it instead displays yardage. You have to use a separate Rangefinder to get the range, then turn the top turret until the display of yardage inside the scope matches what your Rangefinder said
So with the eliminator, you’re using a holdover method to get the bullet on target whereas with the veracity you’re dialing to get on target
I need to go shoot one again. I think I focused mostly on the cool tech that does work well.
I’m not sure what you’re looking to gain from these options? The Eliminator does introduce new tech that could perhaps reduce the time between spotting an animal and shooting.
The veracity though, seems entirely silly to me when ballistic range finders exist, unless I’m missing something. In my mind, here’s your order of operations for the veracity vs a normal scope plus range finder combo.
Veracity: spot the animal, range the animal, dial the scope to the number of yards that the animal is away from you, shoot.
Any other combo including the scope you probably already have (with a ballistic range finder): spot the animal, range the animal, dial your scope to the number your range finder said, shoot.
Why go for a heavy expensive scope with bad glass? Just my thoughts, open to other ideas if there is indeed a way that this shaves time or steps.
