    These are at Shot Show. Swing by the Burris booth and check them out!

    RT Long Range
    INTRODUCING the NEW RT (Race/Tactical) Series of scopes. The RT Series were designed to step up your precision, competition and tactical game without breaking the bank!

    Features:
    NEW SCR 2 mil reticle that can only be found in our XTR3 providing trajectory compensation out to 600 yards
    Integrated and adjustable throw lever can be located anywhere on the power ring for a customized fit
    Side parallax adjustment (on all models)
    Zero Click Stop adjustment
    Front Focal Plane
     
    I wish I had more info on them. I know they parallax to 25 yards and didnt skimp on the quality of the elevation turret. They want these to track like the XTRII.

    So what. Burris aren’t the only people using their optics. I will not buy an ffp unless it’s illuminated.
     
    Pretty cool. Love my RT6. Looks like they kept the weight on these down as well. 3-15 is about 13", 23 oz, 5-25 is 14" 24 oz.

    What about glass? Similar to the old Mtac line or better?
     
    Please do illumination a a locking/capped windage! Please! Looks like 3-15 is ALMOST a fantastic hunting scope.

    Both the elevation and windage turrets lock in place. You pull up on the turret and it clicks out, then you can adjust windage/elevation. You push back down on it and it locks. It wont move unless its clicked up.
     
    10 yd parallax for the 3-15x50
    15 yd for the 5-25x56
    short and light weight.
    glass was impressive (for inside shot show...)
    locking knobs on both.
    also can get a low pro locking knob with your BDC info for hunting.

    with that weight and features it is going to very enticing hunting scope!! (the 3-15 has 80 moa adjustment)

    MOST importantly at least for me with 3 little boys, will be NRL 22 matches and air rifle. At $600 and $700 its going to be a very exciting scope features wise...


    For illumination and hunting, the same optical platform will be available WITHOUT SCR2 ret and both FFP and SFP is Burris NEW Signature HD line


    Smaller obj and illum and also $100 cheaper than the RT counterpart.

    This fills in a very nice market segment for Burris with a feature rich, more affordable tactical scope line up. Between the RT, the XTRII, and the XTRIII, they offer a pretty decent selection these days.

    8 mil turrets again? WTF

    I said the same. At shot show I was told this was the most they could get while still keeping weight and size down. At just over 20 ozs I didn't throw a fit.


    8 mils will get a rimfire to 250+/- yards and my 6br well past 1k so it didnt bother me much. Couple that with the zero stop it isn't a deal breaker...

    I think it’s a solid nrl22 optic for people not looking to spend a ton.

    Is it confirmed at 15yds on the 5-25? Website is showing 25.
     
    Anyone get their hands on one of these yet? Seems like an interesting alternative to the new Strike Eagle.

    Got quite a few rounds down range on my 40x

    initial impressions
    -like the locking knobs
    -loke the retc!
    -parallax was tough to spin initial but loosened up big time after couple spins
    -FOV was better than my friends Luppy Mk 5 5-25 ie good
    -Glass was obviously worse than the luppy (price is 1/3 of a Mk 5) and also my XTR3
    -8 mil knobs mixed emotions but not a deal breaker as it has a hard zero stop
    -throw lever super nice to be included
    -oh ya 20 yd parallax is epic for rimfire/airgun etc

    over all for my rimfire or possibly my 223 trainer with FFP and the price Im super excited to be able to put a decent FFP scope on a rifle w/o spending $2k. Yes it wont compare to $2k scopes in glass and overall build qual, but with a no questions asked burris forever warranty im happy and the price allows me to buy a couple.

    GL!

    Dang. Ive been waiting on these to try. I have no problem buying one of the birris scopes made in the phillipines, but ill make a hard pass on these, shame.
     
    Pretty sure I read Philippines on the bottom. Some of the new hunting scopes are china though.
