Does the illuminated target dot shift left or right of center to compensate for rifle cant?

No it does not. It also does not move right or left to compensate for wind conditions. The newest model, the Eliminator III dors have markings for windage that could help if you know the crosswind situation but I do not have that model.

No, as stated in the other answers BUT; the scope does compensate for shooting uphill or downhill! That is a feature often not well known.

I don't believe so, Good question to ask Burris. They should have a chat line.

Yes. You can absolutely change it so the magnifier flips to the left. As mentioned, you will have the release facing the muzzle end, but this keeps your trigger hand in place when shooting from a bench rest or tripod, which to me is good. All you have to do is flip the mount so the objective (lens end) is facing the optic and the dimensions are exactly the same as box stock. The other benefit of flipping to the left is that if you're running offset sights, it doesn't get in the way of a pure iron sight picture. An alternative to this whole issue, with the help of a little extra cash, of course, is to buy a LaRue Tactical Magnifier mount, which works like it was made for the VMX-3. Yes.

focus on the target, not the dot. it should be clear then. if not, send it back for a replacement.

To actually answer your question, yes, it is important that it is level. Otherwise, adjusting the dot up or down will also move it left or right. This is the same for all tubular sighting devices.

The sight shouldn't change the point of aim but it does have a little different sight picture then with the blade. It comes with directions on how to aim it. Basically, you just but the big dot over what you want to hit instead of the top of the sight like you do a blade sight.

My reticle is a bit oblong, also. I can't answer if this is typical of this model it but doesn't bother me or my shooting.

It will vary a little from scope to scope due to manufacturing variations. It really isn't important as to accuracy that they be exactly the same. The main thing is that the rifle itself is level (not canted). What I do is (using little bubble levels such as Wheeler sells) get my rifle perfectly level and then get my horizontal reticle roughly level to match (by sighting it on a target line that you know is level). Again, the most important thing by far is that the rifle is level.

I suggest you visit a gun dealer and let you try both, I find target acusistion faster and the adjustment for the red dot is very easy to adjust while you're on target. But tr both.

Its all about the mounting height of the magnifier and the red dot. That being said, as long as you get them close, the magnifier does have internal adjustments.

I couldn't tell you because after the first outing with the scope, the crosshair knobs ceased to function. I didn't waste my time with it, I took a hammer to it and trashed it.

I have the same problem. I tried hard to find out the solution for this problem and regretfully gave up. We should write a letter to the manufacturer about it. What I have done is to by myself a scope so the front sight misalignment does not interfere with my shooting.

It is. If you are too far off center you cannot see the dot. I have been very happy with this sight for the money. I have it on my 22 caliber GSG-5. It is accurate and holds zero.

It will center with most any red dot. Just make sure its elevation is right.

the dot will move in the sight as you move your head around while looking through. I've been practicing bringing the gun up to the same spot on my cheek everytime. seems to work well that way.

Hi-Yes- The reticle has mil-dots on the left and right horizontal and upper vertical. The lower vertical has BDC. Just to let you know that this is the only scope I have ever had that was dead on out of the box at 150 yards on an AR15 platform.. Love it

If you're are talking about a double projection of the reticle...then yes, slightly. The dot seems to be the clearest and least problematic with this HWS.

Yes, laser activation switch works from either side of weapon (center is off - button pushes both left and right).
