On this overview, we’re going to try the Burris RT6 Tactical Equipment.
I lately went on a visit to Florida to do a pair various things, spend a while on the seaside, discover some new elements of the state and to go into the swamp to chase dinosaurs! I really like discovering multi-purpose journeys the place I can spend high quality time with the household but in addition escape for a day to hunt or fish. Florida affords so many alternatives to do such issues. We flew into Ft. Meyers and did all of the solar and surf issues that households love to do proper across the airport, however I used to be capable of escape for half a day to go chase gators within the Florida swamps and be again in time for supper on the seaside!
In the event you haven’t accomplished it earlier than I extremely suggest you give gator searching a strive! You are able to do it a bunch of various methods and for me it’s the greatest hybrid possibility of each searching and fishing mixed in the identical exercise. The way in which we do it’s utilizing beefy fishing rods and snag hooks the place you battle them on rod and reel or by hand, deliver them in near shore after which end them off together with your weapon of alternative. You too can use archery tools with floats, lengthy vary rifles, bang sticks, set strains and many others. Like I mentioned, there are a ton of choices, and I’m certain you will see that one which piques your curiosity.
On this hunt I used to be utilizing my regular Savage MSR 10 Hunter in 6.5 CM however when it got here to optics alternative it was one thing a bit of exterior the field. In the event you checked out my rig for this hunt you’d instantly suppose shut quarters fight or 3-gun competitors, not south Florida gator searching. I used to be utilizing the Burris RT 6 with the tactical equipment, and I have to be sincere, at first, I used to be a bit of apprehensive as to how it will carry out on this searching utility.
However give it some thought, you’re preventing these gators on rod and reel and bringing them in to shore or the boat for an in depth shot. An ideal state of affairs with a 1-6X scope with another crimson dot mounted on the highest ought to one thing go sideways. I like the flexibleness of having the ability to use the standard optic and one of many variable magnification settings however then additionally being able to shortly go for the crimson dot in actual time with out ever having to return up off the gun. Gators can actually grow to be unpredictable when attempting to reel them in with a snag hook in them and being able to adapt in real-time primarily based on their conduct was an enormous plus!
Right here is the outline from the Burris web site,
“The RT-6 Tactical Equipment is an RT-6 scope, FastFire 3 and P.E.P.R.™ mount. It makes for an excellent equipment for individuals simply stepping into 3-Gun or tactical taking pictures. The RT-6 is tearing up 3-Gun competitions in all places, because of an amazing function set: forgiving eye-box, compact scope size, true 1x, built-in throw levers, and nice competitors reticle. This equipment will get you what you might want to be aggressive multi function field.”
It was actually the proper utility for this hunt, I really like multi-purpose gear that permits you the flexibleness to make use of it in a number of variations and situations. It is available in a pair totally different setups both with or with out the tactical equipment. The scope itself MSRPs proper round $443 and if you wish to improve to the Scope, P.E.P.R. mount, and Quick Fireplace crimson dot you’re looking at an MSRP of $695. Truthfully, in case you are a 3-gun competitor or only a informal shooter who additionally hunts I’d extremely suggest this setup.
Total, this was an amazing journey, and I shot a really good alligator with an superior new piece of kit. The perfect half is I used to be again to the seaside and hanging out with the household by late afternoon.
