    Best long range scope with built-in range finder?

    My partner is looking for a good quality scope with a built-in range finder for his 300 Win Mag. Happy to spend approx 3k.

    He also already has some Sig Sauer Kilo 3000 BDX 10x42mm Rangefinder Binoculars, but would ideally like a scope with a built-in range finder...

    Currently looking at either the Sig Sauer Sierra 6.5-20x52mm BDX Riflescope or the Burris Eliminator 3 Laser 4-16x50 Scope... any feedback?


    Open to suggestions!

    The Sig scope doesn't have a built in rangefinder but syncs via Bluetooth to the BDX range finder/binos
    I've used the Sig scope you listed and thought it was rather horrible, the drop compensation worked well when synced to the range finder but the scope itself left a lot to be desired.

    The Burris eliminator is really the only option for a fully built in system, there are other scopes out there but cost considerably more than 3000NZD.

    Most people shooting long range use a "standard " scope as there are some limitations to the Burris eliminator, it works fine as a hunting scope for quick longish range shooting but for a true long range hunting or target shooting I'd be looking else where.

    Mate has the Eliminator on his tikka rem mag, his longest shot just over 800. He likes it, finds it quick and reliable. If your partner goes that way, sell the r/f binos and reinvest that into better bino only glass, no sense having both.
    I have the sig r/f binos, I like them but I dial my scope. Once set up, the solution for the given loads are good. I’ve never felt rushed to spot/range, dial and set up for the shot, so personally never felt the need for anything else.
    Cheers
