Give it a look with the search function, this is one that comes up semi-regularly.

There's a used one on consignment at prophet River I saw. They look big and heavy but the idea is good.

I had a Eliminator 2 on a browning x bolt 7mm mag .It worked great to around 650 - 700 yards.I could bang gongs that were a little bigger than moa evertime out to that distance.It didn't like to be out in -10 or -15 C, the range finder would quit working but you still have cross hair to use.
It is not a really good target scope but they do work once you get them set up.
I sold mine to buy a target scope with turrets but pretty hard to beat for a hunting scope and how quick they work.
My brother has had the 2 for around 5 or 6 years without a problem but it only gets used in November mainly.
A friend has the 3 and they range futher and work better in the cold but are bigger.
I didn't like the price of the 3 but it does work well most of the time.Once in awhile it doesn't range when you want it to,so it has to go in for a new range finder.They have a good warranty I have heard.
My friend phoned them about his and they told him to ship it and they will fix it under warranty.Not sure about who picks up the shipping.
I think they work great but probably not for everyone,they can be a little tricky to set up and figure out for some people.

What kind of hunts are you planning to use the scope on? I could see it being great for varmint hunting or out of blinds in large fields, but the weight would suck to carry around all day in the woods or mountains.

Don't know anything about how well they function, but they are butt-ugly.
