I bought this Burris Oracle X scope hoping to extend the fun and accuracy I can have in my backyard and in big game hunting. Cost: $644 on Amazon. This is definitely not a toy.
The warranty includes lifetime fix or replacement, no questions asked whether new or used. Wow!
The video below is excellent!
I own a very accurate 10 Point Turbo S1 Crossbow below (before adding the new scope) .
The scope can be setup for 2 different arrow weights, aka target and broadhead hunting setups. When I am in summer mode, I can setup to target shoot out to 75 to 100 yards for fun. In fall, I can setup for max 50 yards in the deer woods with heavier broadhead tipped arrows.
Things I will need to setup the scope:
- A very steady rest. I have a great adjustable clamp type Death Grip tripod. It works! You can use a bench rest too.
- I needed to purchase a 10 Point raised cheek comb to have better eye alignment.
- Get a torque wrench for clamping the scope to the picatinny or weaver base, and torque to 40 to 70 in-lbs. I own a Wheeler Fat Wrench. Test for eye relief distance before torquing down screws.
-
- A few Extra Lithium Batteries. CR123 or CR123A work. I like Duracell but the scope does come with a battery.
My practice priority is for the hunting setup with my 125g Swhacker 231 practice broadheads. I get close with field points at 20 yards then switch to the practice Swhacker heads and make minor adjustments.
The most important thing, Oracle says, is to shoot accurately at the get-go for 20 yards. I mean within 1/4 inch of center if possible.
Read the short Instruction Manual. Takes 10 minutes.
Next, I began the electronic truing at hunting yardages of 35 yards. The software allows for two arrow types and gives you a max of four truing points. Set Range (SR) 1 to SR 4. I began with just SR 1. It was dead on at the 35 yard target. It was for my first and only 35 yard shot today as I have a family gathering. More soon for SR 2 at 50 yards. Then, go hunt!!
Wow! I like this laser rangefinding scope!!
Good Shooting!
