Burris RT-15 3-15x50mm Rifle Scope, SCR 2 MIL Reticle, Side Focus, Matte Finish, 30mm Tube

The Burris RT-15 3-15x50mm rifle scope brings affordable precision to hunters and competitive shooters who refuse to compromise on optics quality. Built around a rugged 30mm tube with a front focal plane SCR 2 MIL reticle, this scope delivers the accuracy you need for long-range work—whether you're dialing in at the range or taking shots that matter in the field. The matte finish resists glare, and the nitrogen-filled construction means waterproof, shockproof, and fog-proof performance in any weather.

What sets the RT-15 apart is its thoughtful design for precision shooters. The side focus parallax adjustment lets you fine-tune the image at any distance without reaching for a side turret on the scope body. The SCR 2 MIL reticle is a proven holdover pattern—you can dial in your exact point of impact and use the reticle subtensions to calculate windage and elevation holds at distance. The 1/10 mil click adjustments give you repeatable, click-positive turret control, and the zero click stop prevents accidental overshooting when you're tracking moving targets or making field adjustments.

The RT-15 offers 80 MOA of total elevation travel, giving you the adjustment range to stretch shots to practical hunting and competition distances. The 3-15x magnification range works across disciplines—low power for close work, high power for precision at distance. If you've been waiting for a front focal plane scope that doesn't demand a second mortgage, this is a genuine entry point to that level of optics without the compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the RT-15 and budget scopes with rear focal plane reticles?

The RT-15 uses a front focal plane reticle, which means the SCR 2 MIL pattern stays true—the subtensions remain accurate—at any magnification setting. With a rear focal plane scope, holdover marks only work at one specific magnification. For hunting or competition where you're changing magnification on the fly, front focal plane gives you flexibility without mental math.

Can I use the RT-15 for competitive long-range shooting?

Yes. The 3-15x magnification, side focus adjustment, 1/10 mil clicks, and 80 MOA elevation travel are all suited to competition work. The SCR 2 MIL reticle provides holdover points for precision shooting, and the zero click stop prevents accidental turret movement during shooting sequences.

Is this scope good for hunting at extended range?

The RT-15 works well for hunters comfortable shooting beyond typical hunting distances. The 3-15x range gives you low magnification for close opportunities and high magnification for glassing and distant shots. The 50mm objective and bright optics keep the image clear in variable light. Plan your shooting distances around the 80 MOA elevation travel, which accommodates most modern hunting cartridges to practical field ranges.

What does the side focus adjustment do?

The side focus parallax adjustment lets you eliminate parallax error—the apparent shift in the reticle's position relative to the target when you move your eye slightly. You adjust it to match your shooting distance without changing magnification, giving you a crisp, clear sight picture through the entire scope.
