The FastFire 3 is the best selling red dot sight from Burris. It is available with a 3 MOA or 8 MOA dot, and with or without a picatinny mount.
Light and tough, the FastFire 3 series puts an unmistakable, bright red dot on your target to give you an immediate speed and accuracy advantage. Can be used as a primary sight or paired on top of an existing sight.
- Automatic brightness sensor adjusts brightness to match the environmental conditions; also has 3 manual brightness settings
- Battery access is conveniently located on the top of the sight; automatic time-out feature after 8

Available with Picatinny/Weaver mount for mounting on rifles, handguns and tactical shotguns
DOT SIZE:
Generally speaking, the 8 MOA dot is most popular for short range shooters, especially with handguns or shotguns. The larger dot makes target acquisition quicker.
The 3 MOA dot is most popular with rifles, or anyone wanting more pin-point accuracy, as the smaller dot covers far less of the overall target area.
TECH NOTES:

Would Not Purchase Again
I purchased the Burris Fastfire 3 from Ben’s website on April 10th. Of course never a problem there. A week or so later I test fired it and the battery cap popped off. I contacted Burris Customer Service. They sent a new Battery cap. That popped off after 60 rounds. I contacted Burris Customer Service and was told to mail it to them at my own expense. I received an email on April 30th stating “Your product has been evaluated and found to be non-repairable. We are replacing your item with the closest currently manufactured item in both cost and functionality as your item is covered under the Burris Forever Warranty.” I contacted them on May 16th for a status on the replacement. Their reply, “It looks like the replacement is on backorder. We will ship you your replacement unit as soon as we have them back in stock”. So, after two months and all that money I have nothing. Not even an estimated ship date.

A very compact optic for Ruger Mark IV
I wondered whether this optic would fit/ work for a Ruger Mark IV. It fits perfectly, very low on the barrel and really fun to work. The red dot is dial-able for automatic brightness adjustment ( which works well ) a large dot, medium dot and small dot. I personally like the small dot for bulls eye shooting, but if done outside you will need more brightness. I could not be happier with the optic.
