    Default Burris Fast Fire III red dot optic questions

    Considering a Burris Fast Fire III red dot optic for my Winchester 94 AE .44 Trapper. I have a scope mount that would put one at the rear of the receiver. Looked at one at Cabela's, TINY little thing! Would fit perfectly it appears.

    Question is - anybody have any experience with these lil' puppies? I know they were made for handgun use, and mounting on slides, so they SHOULD be able to handle recoil just fine. Just looking for real-world experience and opinions.

    I use one of these as a backup (offset) sight on a .308, has held up just fine so far...

    I've got some Fastfire II's that I like, but don't shoot them enough to give you a solid review. Have mine on a .300blk pistol.

    I have them on a few rifles from 22lr -357 lever actions. I can send you one of mine if you'd like to road test them. Oddly enough been thinking about selling 1 or 2 (used) as part of my down sizing plan. Might as well get that out there now.

    Well Hamid, I'd be interested in a used one, keep me in mind! Is Omar the tentmaker still selling fat boy shirts?

    Sadly, no. He thought the vest he purchased from a new vendor at the market was returnable, if he saved the receipt.

    Apropos of not anything related to Hamid's market, Burris/Steiner's manufacturing operation is located in Greeley. When I shattered the glass on my Fast Fire III because I threw it unprotected in a rifle case with a bunch of loose stuff and then tossed it in the back of my truck with some luggage on it, I brought it over there. I totally broke this thing due to my own carelessness, it was readily apparent, and I acknowledged that I did it. Nor did I have my receipt or box. They took it in the back for about a minute, realized it couldn't be repaired, and handed me a brand new one in retail packaging, no questions asked. So for what it is worth, they truly stand behind the Fast Fire line. I run two of them on .22lr rifles, and one on a 10mm Glock. They do not seem to have any issues with recoil.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
