Interested

 

[Birddog6424]

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.

Yeh, not huge. 30mm tube. It'll still get you past 1k with most high powered rifles. 40 moa gets my 6.5 Creedmoor to nearly 1400 yards. Sufficient for what this scope is made for.

I wouldn't buy it for a 338

If it’s anything like my RT6 it will be a solid scope.
I’ll probably try one out.

 

[JakeM]

Illumination?

 

[Black max]

Illumination?

You don't need illumination, I thought everybody knew that.

 

[JakeM]

So what. Burris aren’t the only people using their optics. I will not buy an ffp unless it’s illuminated.

 

[Birddog6424]

You don't need illumination, I thought everybody knew that.

Apparently not

 

[Birddog6424]

Illumination?

I'm not sure if they're illuminated or not.

 

[Ratch_V]

The RT 3-15 and 5-25 are not illuminated.

 

[Birddog6424]

The RT 3-15 and 5-25 are not illuminated.

I figured as much. This isnt part of their hunting line.

 

[ddavis]

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.

 

[RFutch]

What about glass? Similar to the old Mtac line or better?

 

[Birddog6424]

I haven't looked through them yet. The MTAC was decent at its price point, but I think these will come in a little above that.

 

[Birddog6424]

Confirmed 15 yard parallax. Here's the 5-25x56

 

[Jack's Dad]

Please do illumination a a locking/capped windage! Please! Looks like 3-15 is ALMOST a fantastic hunting scope.

 

[winniedonkey]

Looks interesting.

 

[Ratch_V]

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.

 

[Jack's Dad]

I don't see that in the features list?

 

[D_TROS]

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.

Are these still made in the Philippines?

Wow, that’s a lot of features for the price.

 

[Birddog6424]

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.

 

[D_TROS]

cant wait to get one. NRL 22 and long range hunters are licking their chops!

[SpeedyR]

I had been hoping to see an RT8 1-8x based on the RT6 but I guess we have to wait a while...

 

[Millron]

Country of Origin for these? Phillipines?

 

[918v]

8 mil turrets again? WTF

 

[D_TROS]

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...

[Dthomas3523]

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.

 

[WintermuteMI]

Anyone get their hands on one of these yet? Seems like an interesting alternative to the new Strike Eagle.

 

[Trigger Monkey]

I'm still waiting on mine for review

 

[D_TROS]

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!

[WintermuteMI]

Awesome info @D_TROS!

Can you confirm country of origin?

 

[RFutch]

Awesome info @D_TROS!

Ive seen one and they are Philippines.

Dorgan, do you know if they plan to do the regular SCR Mil in this? The SCR2 is way too thin for my horrible eyes.

 

[Odindad]

Made in China. Just got two in at work. Thought these were made in the Philippines. Wrong.

 

[Millron]

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.

 

[RFutch]

Pretty sure I read Philippines on the bottom. Some of the new hunting scopes are china though.

 

[Desert Raven]

@D_TROS and @Birddog6424 always give out great info. Appreciate all of your work, honesty, and testing you do, as well as the reviews. Much appreciated, guys!

 

[Hammerz668]

China Handled one today.

China Handled one today.

That definitely is a bummer and the sole reason I didn't buy one recently.
