Burris Rt-5 Ballistic 5x Ret Mat

The Burris RT-5 Ballistic 5x Reticle Matte prism sight delivers fast target acquisition and precision aiming for tactical shooters operating at close to mid-range distances. Built on a one-piece aluminum body, this compact optic combines lightweight design with rugged construction—critical attributes for duty carry, training evolutions, and competition shooting where durability and reliability are non-negotiable.

The 5x magnification ballistic reticle is engineered for intermediate-range engagements, providing fine aiming lines calibrated for elevation, windage, and holdover compensation. This reticle geometry allows shooters to place precise shots at distance without requiring external ballistic calculators or rangefinder inputs—a significant advantage in dynamic scenarios. The matte finish eliminates glint and reduces weight to 1.06 pounds, preserving sight radius and weapon balance across rifle platforms from carbines to designated marksman configurations.

This sight is purpose-built for operators, law enforcement instructors, and serious competitors who demand optical systems that function reliably under training stress and field conditions. The RT-5 Ballistic excels in scenarios requiring quick follow-up shots and target transitions where magnification aids accuracy without sacrificing situational awareness. Compact dimensions (4 x 3.25 x 5 inches) ensure it fits standard receiver geometry on AR platforms and other tactical rifles without requiring spacer rings or offset mounting solutions.

Prism sights like the Burris RT-5 deliver inherent advantages over traditional red dots in daylight and bright-sun environments due to the optical projection method. The ballistic reticle reduces mental workload by eliminating the need to calculate hold-over, making them ideal for mid-range hunting, precision rifle courses, and any application where speed and accuracy matter equally.
