It's designed to empower shooters with the speed, precision, and adaptability needed to dominate diverse challenges, from close-quarters engagements to mid-range precision shots.

Why is an integrated kit like this essential? Because success in competitive shooting and critical tactical applications often hinges on the seamless interplay between your primary optic, your rapid-target acquisition system, and your mounting hardware. The Burris RT-6 Tactical Kit eliminates compatibility concerns and guesswork, delivering a perfectly matched trio engineered to work in harmony right out of the box. This makes it an ideal choice for both newcomers looking for a competitive edge and seasoned professionals upgrading their setup.

The Heart of the System: Burris RT-6 1-6x24mm Rifle Scope

At the core of this powerful kit is the Burris RT-6 (RT stands for "Rapid Transit") 1-6x24mm LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic). This scope is specifically engineered for the fast-paced demands of tactical and competition shooting, offering an unparalleled blend of versatility and optical clarity.

• Exceptional Magnification Range: The 1-6x magnification provides a remarkable spectrum of capabilities.
  • True 1x Magnification: At its lowest setting, the RT-6 offers a true 1x magnification, allowing for seamless, both-eyes-open shooting, similar to using a red dot sight. This is crucial for rapid target acquisition in close-quarters battle (CQB) scenarios, dynamic movement, and engaging multiple targets quickly. It helps maintain situational awareness, which is paramount in competitive and tactical environments.
  • 6x Zoom Power: Quickly transitioning to 6x magnification brings distant targets into crisp focus, enabling precise shot placement out to significant distances. This versatility means you don't need to switch between different optics for varying engagements. The integrated throw lever makes rapid magnification changes intuitive and effortless, a critical feature when time is of the essence.
• Illuminated Ballistic 5X Reticle: The reticle is the window to your aim, and the Ballistic 5X reticle within the RT-6 is meticulously designed for performance.
  • Trajectory Compensation: This reticle features hold-over points designed to compensate for bullet drop, allowing for accurate shots at various ranges without needing to make turret adjustments. This is particularly advantageous in dynamic shooting sports where speed is key.
  • 11 Levels of Illumination: With 11 distinct brightness settings, the reticle illumination can be perfectly tuned for any lighting condition, from bright daylight to low-light environments. This ensures maximum visibility and contrast against any background, enhancing target acquisition speed and accuracy. The illumination is powered by a common CR2032 battery, known for its widespread availability.
• Superior Optical Performance: Burris is renowned for its optical quality, and the RT-6 is no exception.
  • Crystal-Clear Glass: The multi-coated lenses deliver exceptional light transmission, resulting in a bright, sharp, and high-contrast image even in challenging light conditions. This clarity minimizes eye strain during extended use.
  • Forgiving Eye Box: A generous eye box and consistent eye relief (3.30" - 4") mean that achieving a full, clear sight picture is quick and easy, even from slightly unconventional shooting positions. This significantly reduces "scope shadow" and allows for faster target acquisition after recoil.
• Robust and Compact Design: Built to withstand the rigors of competition and tactical use, the RT-6 features:
  • Durable 30mm Tube: The 30mm main tube is constructed from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum, providing exceptional strength and durability while maintaining a relatively lightweight profile.
  • Compact Length: Measuring just 10.30 inches, this scope is remarkably compact, reducing bulk on your rifle and maintaining a balanced feel.
  • Matte Black Finish: The non-reflective matte black finish helps prevent glare and maintains a low profile in any environment.
  • Environmental Proofing: The RT-6 is rigorously fog proof, shockproof, and waterproof, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest weather and demanding operational conditions. Whether it's rain, humidity, or accidental impacts, your optic will maintain its integrity.
• Precise Adjustments: The low-profile turrets offer crisp, tactile .25 MOA (Minute of Angle) adjustments for both windage and elevation, providing precise control over your point of impact. With 80 MOA of internal adjustment range for both windage and elevation, you have ample room for zeroing and engaging targets at various distances. The rear focal plane (SFP) design ensures the reticle size remains consistent regardless of magnification, which is preferred by many for its ease of use and predictable holdovers.

Rapid Target Acquisition: The Burris FastFire 3 Red Dot Sight

Complementing the RT-6 LPVO is the included Burris FastFire 3, a lightweight and incredibly effective red dot sight. The FastFire 3 is designed for situations demanding immediate target engagement and close-range precision, making it an indispensable tool for 3-Gun competitors and tactical operators.

• Mounted for Speed: Typically mounted at a 45-degree offset or atop the primary scope, the FastFire 3 allows for a swift transition from magnified precision shooting to rapid, close-range engagements with a simple cant of the rifle. This dual-optic setup provides an unmatched tactical advantage.
• Bright Red Dot Reticle: The bright, crisp red dot is highly visible in all lighting conditions, enabling lightning-fast target acquisition and instinctive aiming. It excels in dynamic scenarios where split-second decisions and target transitions are paramount.
• Automatic Brightness Sensor & Manual Settings: The FastFire 3 features an automatic brightness sensor that adjusts the dot's intensity to match ambient light, conserving battery life and ensuring optimal visibility. Manual brightness settings are also available for precise control in specific situations.
• Durable and Lightweight: Built to Burris's high standards, the FastFire 3 is incredibly durable yet lightweight, adding minimal bulk to your rifle system. It is also designed to withstand recoil and harsh environmental conditions, mirroring the resilience of the RT-6 scope.

Secure and Optimal Mounting: The Burris P.E.P.R. Mount

The third critical component of this kit is the Burris P.E.P.R. (Proper Eye Position Ready) Mount. This high-quality cantilever mount is engineered to provide the correct eye relief and optimal height for modern sporting rifles, ensuring a consistent and comfortable shooting experience.

• Proper Eye Relief: The cantilever design extends the scope forward, allowing for proper eye relief on AR-style platforms, which often have limited rail space. This ensures shooters can maintain a natural and comfortable head position, crucial for both accuracy and recoil management.
• Rock-Solid Stability: Constructed from robust materials, the P.E.P.R. mount provides a secure and repeatable zero. Its robust clamping mechanism ensures that your optics remain firmly in place, even under heavy recoil or rigorous use.
• Integrated Ring Tops: Some P.E.P.R. mounts feature integrated Picatinny rail sections on the ring tops, providing a convenient platform for mounting accessories like the FastFire 3, laser designators, or other tactical lights. This thoughtful design further enhances the kit's versatility.

Who is the Burris RT-6 Tactical Kit For?

This integrated optic system answers the call for a wide range of shooting disciplines and applications:

• 3-Gun Competitors: This is the quintessential kit for anyone serious about 3-Gun. The 1-6x LPVO handles medium-range rifle targets and longer pistol targets with ease, while the FastFire 3 enables rapid transitions to close-range hosing, barricades, and tight corners. The seamless integration and speed advantages are priceless.
• Tactical and Home Defense Shooters: For personal defense or law enforcement applications, the ability to rapidly engage targets at varying distances with precision is non-negotiable.
