I bought a Burris RT-6 scope from Cabela’s, taking advantage of the various holiday discounts and mounted it on my new Black Rain Ordnance Fallout 15 only to find out that it has a black speck in it about 1/3 the way from the center at about 4:30. It really isn’t in the way but it is an irritant and I am concerned that if it is from the finish flaking off the inside of the scope that there may be more. Would you recommending exchanging it? | ||

Is it a speck or a tiny number 4 for the ranging? I only ask because I have the same scope and was concerned when I first looked through mine. | |||

I would. Q | |||

Well, I'll be damned.... I checked out the image of the reticle on the Cabela's webvsite and you are right. It is a '4'!! Don't I feel like an idiot. Thank you! | |||

Very cool outcome! Thirteen minutes elapsed in SIGforum time and...Ummm, are you sure? I only ask because...

Burris has excellent customer service. They would likely take care of you if Cabela's won't exchange it. I would get it exchanged or have Burris fix/replace it for you. You paid for an optic in peak condition. You shouldn't settle for less. | |||

This is what happens when I don't read all the replies before I reply.... hehehe | |||

If it looks more like a speck than a number 4, you may need to adjust the diopter on your scope to make the reticle crisp to your eyes. | |||

I had done that. Image of the reticle was sharp. It's very small, and since it was unexpected I didn't see that it actually was a number 4. | |||

Copy that! Enjoy the scope. I like mine quite a bit. | |||

Thank you. Much appreciated. I just turned 58 and enjoyed excellent vision until several years ago. Have spent quite a bit of money on glass since then. Eyes just ain't what they used to be! | |||

Is this a chicom or Philippines made optic? "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

I think all Burris is made in Colorado, but am not 100% on that. I like it. It is the 2nd Burris scope I have bought in the past few months. It is just infuriating that neither came with lens covers! | |||

Glad I could help. I thought mine was messed up for sure until I adjusted the diopter a bit. It’s still ridiculously tiny and useless, but it’s a 4 and intentionally put there. Enjoy that scope. I like mine a lot. It’s a bit heavy and the glass at the edges isn’t the best, but it’s a great bang for the buck and the adjustments are very solid on mine. I’ve got mine on a 716i and it’s held up great. | |||

Thanks! I like it also, although it was my 2nd choice behind the Vortex Strike Eagle which I have on my other AR-15 and on my AR-10. I like the reticle better on the Vortex. I had strongly considered buying a 716i but decided on getting a Black Rain Ordnance Fallout 10 which I really like. | |||

I am pretty sure not made in Co. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Looks like you are correct. Evidently made in the Philippines. Burris is based in Colorado I think. | |||
|

Made in America necessitates spending a lot more money. Nightforce, Razor AMG, some Trijicon. Is a Nightforce ATACR a better scope than a Burris RT6? Yes. Is it $1800 dollars better? I don't think so. | |||
|

Maybe true, but many do not care to have in their procession a chicom product, period. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Well, the Philippines is NOT China, so there's that... ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!
