[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 651914, member: 9253"] No doubt it's an improvement over the original Burris Eliminator. I hope they don't make you pick from a list of cartridges and bullets. All it needs is two numbers, muzzle velocity and the appropriate bullet ballistic coefficient. They've adapted a linear grid reticle system similar to Horus Vision's. They don't say if the dots are mils or moa or what, not that it matters. I don't see where it says how fine the vertical dot resolution is. The old one only had about ten dots. Ok for a few hundred yards on large game. The wind correction feature is (maybe) better than nothing. You still have to measure or guess the local wind velocity and direction component and the scope doesn't have a clue what the wind conditions might be between the shooter and the target. I'll keep my Horus scope, Leica rangefinder, and Kestrel/Atrag computer for now. At least Burris is trying to integrate environment/range/wind measurements which can't be said for Leupold, Nightforce, S&B, etc etc. Of course if they do get it all the necessary corrections automated hunting will become no more of a sport than killing cattle with a hammer in a feed lot.
