Burris RT-6 1-6x24 30mm Rifle Scope Matte Ballistic MSR with FastFire III & P.E.P.R. Mount
The Burris RT-6 1-6x24 30mm rifle scope with FastFire III and P.E.P.R. Mount is built for shooters who need speed without sacrificing versatility. Whether you're running three-gun competition stages, hunting medium-range game, or training on an AR platform, this scope delivers true 1x performance for both-eyes-open shooting at close quarters, then scales up to 6x magnification for target acquisition and precision beyond 300 yards. The ballistic AR reticle offers trajectory compensation out to 600 yards, and the compact design—shorter than most 1-4x alternatives—keeps your rifle nimble and easy to handle in tight spaces or rapid transitions.
What sets the RT-6 apart is the included ecosystem: the FastFire III red-dot pairs with the scope for layered aiming options, while the Proper Eye Position Ready (P.E.P.R.) Mount positions your scope 2 inches forward on the rail, preserving your AR's ergonomics and maintaining true eye relief. This forward mount design is especially valuable in competitive and tactical setups where handguard real estate and sight radius matter. The scope itself is offered in matte finish and features 11 brightness levels to adapt to changing light conditions—critical for early-morning hunts or indoor range sessions.
Built by a brand trusted in the competitive shooting community, the RT-6 doesn't promise miracles, but it does deliver the combination of speed, optical quality, and dependable illumination that experienced shooters expect. This is a scope that rewards practice and favors shooters who understand that versatility and quick target handling often beat pure magnification power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the RT-6 work on my AR-15 or Modern Sporting Rifle?
Yes. The included P.E.P.R. Mount is designed to attach to the Picatinny rail on AR-platform rifles. The mount includes both smooth and Picatinny ring tops to accommodate 30mm scope tubes. The forward 2-inch positioning helps maintain proper eye relief and ergonomics on short- to mid-length AR builds.
What's the effective range of the ballistic reticle?
The ballistic AR reticle offers trajectory compensation out to 600 yards. The reticle is calibrated for Modern Sporting Rifle applications; exact zero and hold instructions come with the scope.
Can I use the FastFire III and RT-6 scope together?
Yes. Both are included with this bundle. The FastFire III is a standalone reflex sight that can be mounted independently or used in tandem with the scope depending on your shooting needs and rail space. The red-dot features a 3 MOA dot, manual brightness adjustment, and an automatic setting with low-battery indicator.
What batteries and maintenance do these optics require?
The FastFire III uses one CR1632 battery (included). The scope features 11 adjustable brightness levels, allowing you to extend battery life in lower-light conditions. Both the scope and red-dot are covered by a Burris 1-year factory warranty. The FastFire III is 100% waterproof for reliable performance in wet conditions.
