Reviews & Ratings for Burris RT-3 3x Red Dot Prism Sight — 36 reviews — Page 1

Put one on my ultralight build, and now wish I had the funds to put them on my 11.5" 556, 10.5" Blackout, and 10mm AR. Great weight, and about perfect for a 50-100 yard tree stand gun. Great etched reticle that's visible when no illumination is present. Built in mount makes it easy to set up. Clear glass with a decent field of view and plenty of eye relief. Comes with a lifetime warranty. What else do you want? Might just sell off a rifle to buy more of these!

I bought two, thought it was a stronger optic but it isn’t.

Eye relief and parallax on this is really rough.

Could work on smaller calibers, but need to be recoil conscious.

It seems solid, and nicely built. Glass clarity is good, and it doesn’t weigh very much. Eye relief is very tight though, and the reticle is even smaller than I expected. Tried it out on an AR, and it’s just not comfortable, or easy to use due to the short eye relief, and the vignetting. I’m gonna put it on a .22 that I have instead, it should be just fine for that.

I mean you pay for what you get (172)
It is decent overall, not the best for sure, but it is good for the price if it stays cheap.
I would recommend not using this optic on an AR-15 platform. Best for DMR or AR10, just for fun, I would not recommend this for serious use
i would give this a 7/10

Overall for the deep discount it performs well on a PSA 9mm. The lines are there but to small for any real distance shooting in my opinion. It is a nice optic!!

Needs detachable plate for lower mounting options. Otherwise, very nice.

this thing was perfect for our needs. got it as a present for my dad for Father's Day. integrated mount, so his install process was easy. it has the etched reticle which can be seen with or without the illumination. he also has astigmatism, so again, the etched reticle is key. its plenty light-weight, and easily zeroed- more importantly, it holds that. zero. another key, he can use it for cab/home defense. as much as we loved the idea of an LPVO for this purpose, it just can't compare. the idea of mounting a red dot on an LPVO is just ridiculous, especially when you have the option of a prism available, and for a reasonable price. if you want an optic that does its job, and does it reliably, consider this guy. lifetime warranty? yeah, that's a plus, I guess. I've compared this to my PA SL3x MicroPrism and while there's quite a few differences, it's perfect for his needs and for the price. very happy with the purchase.

Just put this on a .22lr and it is Nice clear glass and works excellent as set up but the eye relief might be a problem with a higher caliber rifle like .308 etc. The Illumination is good and its not too heavy so overall 4 out of 5 stars.

It's crystal clear and extremely well made. The usable eyebox is tight, but no worse that a traditional tube scope.

I really like it. The view is super clear. Definitely recommended, but don't expect a red dot eye relief.

These optics are bulletproof between the etched reticle the long battery life, and the tough housing they’re the perfect prism scope!! three power is a great general use out to about 100 yards five is great for general use past 100 yards. Wel worth the money!!
