They dropped the RT6 also?!?!
No, they didn't. My bad. Its still showing on their website. I confused it with the RT8, which launched, but didnt. That would have been a nice one to have in the line up.
I'll probably get one of those eventually just for giggles, but it won't quite do for what I have in mind right now.
If you have the FFP it works fine for 300blk both super and subs. Just install StrelokPro and figure out your own BDC. For subs it’s like zero at 35 or 50. Then your bdc is 60/80/100/125 and 150. Pretty easy.
Understood on the BDC and yes, it's FFP. For me it's just easier to have a dedicated reticle so I don't have to think about it (as much) when switching rifles. I ended up with a PA 1-6 FFP with the the 300 blackout-specific reticle. You dial in subs and supers at 50 yards and the BDC works for both supers and subs from thereon out. I suppose you have to memorize those too but it's been pretty intuitive thus far.
That is REALLY a nice optic. It always amazed me that they didn't blow those out. Definitely one of the nicest LPVOs under $1500. Everyone who bought one liked it, and for the life of me I've never heard of anyone breaking one.
The RT8 was pretty bad all around. I ended up buying like five of them between the three variants they offered and all of them were pretty bad (they were allowing you to add mil discount). Their social medial folks ended up banning people on IG when they were saying they were made in china only for them to end up apologizing when customers actually sent in pictures of the underside showing they were made in China. Overall a pretty bad shit show.
I knew something about those went south. I had heard it was an issue with the OEM. The issue I had heard was they got in some prototypes that weren't quite as expected. They made the corrections, went to production, and they still sucked. Burris pulled the plug on remaining production, sold what they had at a discount.
it is brighter, with better edge to edge clarity
