Publication number: 20200158470Abstract: An optical device has a post and a reference. A knob is rotatably connected to the optical device and has see-though portions and a gear pivotably disposed therein. The gear has a ring engagement member and a receiver for receiving the post and an inner ring is disposed within the housing. The inner ring includes a first indicia and second indicia. The first indicia are aligned with the plurality of see-through portions when the gear is in a first position. The second indicia are aligned with the plurality of see-through portions when the gear is in a second position. Each of the first and second indicia is associated with a single specific rotated position of the housing relative to the reference.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: BURRIS CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Travis White, Seth Alan Feinberg, Matthew David Joyner

Patent number: 9482516Abstract: A method is used to determine an aiming point for a sighting system used by a shooter to shoot a target. The method includes receiving a range signal that corresponds to a distance from the shooter to the target. A first position signal is received from a magnification system sensor. A first magnification setting based at least in part on the first position signal is then determined. Thereafter, a first aiming point based at least in part on both of the range signal and the first magnification setting is determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: BURRIS CORPORATIONInventors: John McCarthy, Walter D. Stoddard, Douglas F. Paterson

Patent number: 8201741Abstract: A sighting system for visually acquiring a target includes an optic device having a transmissive LED array affixed thereon. The transmissive LED array includes two or more LED elements that are separately addressable to provide an aiming point. In embodiments, the sighting system receives information from an input system, such as ammunition information or environmental information, executes a ballistics program to determine ballistics information using the received information, and determines a range to the target. A controller calculates an aiming point using the ballistics information and the target range. The controller then addresses or energizes one of the LED elements to provide the aiming point.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Burris CorporationInventors: Steven Anthony Bennetts, Kenneth Lawrence Barkdoll

Publication number: 20110016766Abstract: An eyepiece of a firearm scope includes a spring positioned between a shock mount and an ocular lens, wherein the spring holds the ocular lens a predetermined position from an objective lens of the scope when the spring is in an uncompressed state. During recoil of the firearm, the spring compresses to allow the ocular lens to travel towards the objective lens, thereby increasing an effective eye clearance distance between the ocular lens and a shooter. Following recoil, the spring expands to return the ocular lens to the predetermined position. The spring compresses again during impact of the eyepiece with the shooter's face, thereby partially absorbing the force of the impact and reducing the chance of injury to the shooter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2010Publication date: January 27, 2011Applicant: Burris CorporationInventor: John Paul McCarty

Patent number: 7703679Abstract: A sighting system for visually acquiring a target includes an optic device having a transmissive LCD array affixed thereon. The transmissive LCD array includes two or more LCD elements that are separately addressable to provide an aiming point. In embodiments, the sighting system receives information from an input system, such as ammunition information or environmental information, executes a ballistics program to determine ballistics information using the received information, and determines a range to the target. A controller calculates an aiming point using the ballistics information and the target range. The controller then addresses or energizes one of the LCD elements to provide the aiming point.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2006Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Burris CorporationInventors: Steven Anthony Bennetts, Kenneth Lawrence Barkdoll
