I had an Eliminator Gen 1 for a time which came on a used rifle. Very effective and user friendly scope. I have a couple specialty pistol colleagues whose opinions I respect greatly that have a couple of Eliminator II's which they recommend highly. Cold weather was never an issue for my Gen 1, and as has been mentioned, if the electronics fail, it operates like any other scope.
The reasons I sold mine are very simple - 1) I could get value out of it, 2) it was kinda heavy, and 3) I still had to carry a rangefinder. I like to range EVERYTHING continually through a day. Integrating the rangefinder into the scope is amazing for a certain part of that application, but it's not great when you don't really want to point your rifle at the thing you are ranging.
I'm very tempted to pick up a BEII or the new BEIII for the next specialty pistol I put together.
