Burris RT-6 1-6x24 LPVO Rifle Scope SFP Ballistic 5X Illuminated – 200472

The Burris RT-6 1-6x24 LPVO Rifle Scope SFP Ballistic 5X Illuminated (200472) is a true 1-6x low-power variable optic with a 24 mm objective and a 30 mm main tube. At 1x it works like a red dot for fast, both-eyes-open close-range shooting; wind it up to 6x for target identification and mid-range precision.

This listing is the scope on its own. The reticle is illuminated with 11 brightness settings on a rotary dial, running from a single CR2032, and the turrets adjust in 1/2 MOA per click with 80 MOA of elevation and 80 MOA of windage travel.

How It Compares

If you want the complete package with a FastFire 3 red dot and a P.E.P.R. mount included, that is the Burris RT-6 FastFire 3 Tactical Kit (200475). Browse every LPVO rifle scope we stock, optics for straight-pull rifles, sights for AR-pattern and flat-top rifles, or read our guide to the best LPVO rifle scopes.

Ideal For

• Straight-pull and practical or service rifle shooting, where you need speed at 1x and identification at 6x
• Gallery rifle and target work at close to mid range on the same optic
• Night fox and vermin control, using the 11-setting illumination in poor light
• Anyone building on a flat-top Picatinny receiver who wants one optic rather than two
• Comparing against our other LPVO rifle scopes and the wider Burris rifle scope range

Technical Specifications

Warranty

Burris back this with their Signature Warranty — no charge, no receipt, for life. It covers the optic against defects in materials and workmanship for its lifetime, is fully transferable, and needs no registration.

UK Delivery & Support

UK-stocked and dispatched tracked from our UK warehouse — no import duties or customs delays. Backed by UK-based aftersales support and the Burris Signature Warranty (formerly the Forever Warranty; the name changed in December 2025, the lifetime cover did not). International warranty claims are handled through us as your retailer, so you deal with a UK company rather than shipping to the US.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Burris RT-6 200472 include a mount or a red dot?
No — 200472 is the scope on its own. The RT-6 FastFire 3 Tactical Kit (200475) is the version that includes a FastFire 3 red dot and a P.E.P.R. mount.

Is the reticle called Ballistic 5X or Ballistic AR?
Both names are in circulation because Burris uses each in different places on its own product page. Burris's reticle index lists the RT-6 under Ballistic 5X, so that is the current name. It is the same reticle either way.

Is the Burris RT-6 a true 1x?
Yes — at 1x it behaves like a red dot for fast both-eyes-open shooting, then dials to 6x for distance and target identification.

Is the Burris RT-6 200472 first or second focal plane?
Second (rear) focal plane. The reticle stays the same visual size at every magnification, so its holdover references are calibrated at one set power.

What mount does the Burris RT-6 200472 need?
It has a 30 mm main tube, so it needs 30mm rings or a 30mm one-piece cantilever mount — for example the Burris AR-P.E.P.R. 30mm Picatinny QD scope mount or the Warne QD X-SKEL 30mm quick detach cantilever scope mount.

What battery does the Burris RT-6 200472 use?
A single CR2032 cell, powering 11 illumination brightness settings on a rotary dial.
