Exit pupil: 24–4 mm (1×–6×)
Twilight factor: 12 at 6×
Zoom ratio: 6×

Exit pupil and twilight factor are computed from the published magnification and objective diameter, not measured. Real exit pupil is also capped by the erector at low magnification, and coatings and glass quality move low-light performance in ways the formula cannot see — read these as comparisons between layouts, not verdicts on scopes.

Specifications

Manufacturer-published figures, read from burrisoptics.com (product page; RT user guide PDF confirms only RT-15, RT-25 have side focus, RT-6 has no parallax adjustment and no fixed distance is published). MOA/MRAD conversions use 3.438 MOA per mil.

For it, on paper

+ True 1x at the bottom with a 106 ft field of view at 100 yd, so it runs both-eyes-open like a red dot
+ 10.13 in long, shorter than most 1-4x scopes, leaving rail room on a carbine
+ Illuminated reticle with 11 brightness settings on a rotary dial
+ 80 MOA of elevation and windage travel, generous for a 1-6x, so zeroing on odd mounts is not a problem
+ Capped low-profile turrets: nothing to knock off zero on a 3-Gun stage

Against it, on paper

− Second focal plane, so the Ballistic 5X holdovers are only correct at one magnification
− 1/2 MOA clicks are coarse for fine-tuning a zero compared with the usual 1/4 MOA
− No parallax adjustment, and Burris does not publish the fixed distance
− 17.4 oz is on the heavy side for a 1-6x24
