I am very interested in this scope. Jim kinda reviewed on the expensive vs cheap rifle. I am interested to get more info though. Does any have one or used one? Clarity, how accurate are the adjustments (calculator)?

I have played with it in that one video, but I’m having some issues and need to talk to customer service. The top turret is stick. Can’t move it.
I have dealt with Burris support before and they are extremely good so I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Would you recommend it or do you need more time to form an opinion?
Need more time to form an opinion, but so far, mostly good.

I had a chance to play with a working model in the store and was very interested. One thing I thought of after the fact would be how the internal display is in low light. The store was very well lit so I didn’t have an issue at the time, but was wondering if the brightness of the display is adjustable and if it would be too bright/ distracting in low light hunting conditions. The salesman also stated that you could load dope data for different scenarios like sea level vs higher mountain altitude for the same round. The price point is very approachable for a quality ffp scope in that magnification range. One more vote for a review on this.
I have one. The “heads up” display has different brightness levels controlled on the same side knob as the parallax. There’s also a display timeout you can set where it turns off after whatever time you choose. Personally, I don’t love the scope. It’s fine for the roughly $800 it’s selling for at numerous places, but the glass clarity/brightness leaves a little to be desired. Also, there’s noticeable chromatic aberration. The ranging system on the scope and the app is very cool though. I use it with my Sig Kilo 6K bino’s and hits on steel out to 480 yards (the farthest I could shoot on property) was easy using the data on the back of the factory ammo box.

One thing I don’t understand is why it can’t just range and adjust for you based on your data. Don’t get me wrong, this is already really cool and saves you time for figuring out how many MOA or whatever you have to dial up. Instead, you just dial to the distance that you ranged. But, how hard would it be to just build the range finder into the scope? If that were done, there would not even need to be a turret at all, or it could be optional to “manual override.”
I believe they make another model with just exactly that.
More expensive of course.
And here it is
+1 on a review request. The couple reviews I’ve seen are from people that are obviously sponsored by Burris.
Had to Google chromatic aberration. That’s some good info to know!
Be VERY cautious if you are buying this for your hunting rig. I just found out this weekend that they are illegal in Utah and apparently in a lot of other western states.
@backfire Im about to mount my Veracity PH 3-15 44 on my Tikka. Watched your Vid after my purchase and was psyched. Now seeing here you had issues Were they ever resolved?
Also just finished your mounting Vid which put me greatly at ease thanks for that… as Veracity has the Anti cant bubble in the heads up display I assume you didn’t put one externally on the main tube of It when mounting? True?
Issue I had was resolved. Veracity PH is a great scope in my experience.
correct that there’s no need for a bubble level if you have this scope since it has one built in.

I have 5 Burris Veracity PH scopes. I have 4 that are the 4-20x50 and one that is 3-15x44. Do I like them well Duh!
One is on a Sig Cross 6.5cm, one on Fierce Mountain Reaper 7prc, One on a Seekins Havak Slam in 6.5prc, One on a Fierce Sidewinder .223 Wylde. and the 3-15-44 is on a Ruger American Go Wild .22WMR.
You setup each scope on Burris Connect where you input the data for the rifle, and the data for the bullet (bullet, gr, muzzle velocity, BC, Drag table), sight in range etc. All this data is uploaded to the scope via blue tooth between the scope and the app on your phone. The heads up display is set at your sight in range (100 yards) and zero stop. You range your target and dial to that range in the heads up display. The built in bullet ballistic calculator from the uploaded data, with the range you dial to compensates for the range and drop. There is an electronic bubble level in the heads up.
I have a Vortex Impact 4000 laser range finder on each of the 6.5 and the 7prc.The laser co-witnesses with the Veracity crosshairs. So you put the crosshairs on the target, hit the range button on the laser. Whatever it ranges you dial the Veracity to that range. I have steel target at 100, 165 (in feeder pen), 305, and 520 yards. Setting the range on the Veracity’s, I ring steel every shot on each of the rifles.

That’s the old model. They have a newer version, VI, and I believe Jim sells it as well.

The Eliminator V6 is $2499.00
Awesome! Thanks will let you know how It works. How’s batter life have you dot with It without power?
You can set timeouts and auto shut down. If you lose battery the crosshairs still work.
I was referring to the Veracity. Not sure on the Eliminator
@RRCoffman1 thanks for that. So for completeness purposes It would probably be good to put turret markers on the turret dominate battery goes out it’s much easier to dial in distance. Yes? Did you do that ?
I have had the Veracity ph in the 4-20 on my 22 Creedmore previously on my 300 win mag. I have not one complaint. It performs great if I had any negative it would be glass not quite what you get with the Leupold or the Element 4-20 scope Jim carries in his store which is a bargain. Other than that I ring steel out 600 yards with ease and I have had no issues. Don’t get me wrong glass is good.
