Burris Oracle X Wins Petersen’s Hunting Award

Burris Optics, manufacturer of some of the world’s most technologically advanced firearm, archery, and observation optics in the world, is excited to announce that the company’s heralded Oracle X rangefinding crossbow scope has received an Editor’s Choice award in the Petersen’s Hunting Annual Gear Guide.

The Petersen’s Hunting Annual Gear Guide leverages the magazine staff and contributors’ years of practical field experience and product testing to evaluate the best-of-the-best products on the market today.

“Burris has long led the way in rangefinding optics, starting with their Eliminator riflescope a decade ago,” said David Draper, Editor in Chief of Petersen’s HUNTING. “The Oracle X allows crossbow hunters to get in on the newest technology, providing heads-up range display and illuminated aiming point, ensuring maximum accuracy for the most ethical hunting experience.”

Burris developed the Oracle X to give crossbow hunters every advantage in delivering pinpoint-accurate shot placement across the modern crossbow’s effective range. With its built-in rangefinder — activated either remotely or by depressing the ranging button on the scope — the Oracle X displays the exact point of aim through custom ballistics programming that is specific to the crossbow and arrow weight combination. The Oracle X automatically factors in the shot angle, so whether you are hunting on the ground or in a treestand, you can be guaranteed of the correct point-of-aim. Read more
