Burris Fastfire III?

Hi,

Has anyone used one of these red dots?

And if so is it worth the money over a cheap one?

I have a Burris Fastfire 3. Having tried the mk2 version, I got it as soon as it became available, about 2 years ago. I can't fault it and would buy the same again if I was in the market for one. It has a small sharp 3moa dot with auto and user changeable brightness. I use it on a .22 pistol and once it is zeroed i never need to readjust it, unless i take it off the gun. At least 4 other members at our club have bought one having tried mine. I've tried quite a few other sights and from cheap ones to expensive Doctor Optics, but I think the FF3 offers the best balance in price and function.

Hi,

That sounds good. I see one available online for around 300euro with the weaver mount.(From Germany)

This sound right to you? or could i find it cheaper?

I got mine here http://triebel-shop.com/product_info.php?products_id=29388
300 is a good price.

What are you thinking of putting it on ?

Hi - eventually a Hammerli xesse, but I currently have a GSG 1911 - with a bridge mount.
I have a TRS25 from Bushnells (a tube type red dot) for it - but I think the open type red dot would be better for red dot acquisition???
