Burris Fastfire III

[redlegs]

Is anyone using this sight and if so what is your opinion of it?  I have been doing some research and have heard complaints of fogging on wet or humid mornings as well as brightness on sunny days.

In my opinion, great product.
Go down to the gun pages under sights and optics.  Tons of info on red dots.

Been running one in my Sbe2 for a few years and now on my M2 20 as well. Love them so much I wouldn't buy a gun I couldn't put a speedbead mount in these days as silly as that sounds

I put them on two guns this year and can't imagine not having them now

I didn't care for mine. Just to much messing with the sight window. I prefer a straight up scope OR just old school sights, maybe some fiber optics to dress it up a bit.

Same here - I went back to just the good old bead.  Works just dandy at the yardages at which I shoot turkeys.

I used one last year because my new gun was shooting so far off poa.  The sight worked great and I had no issues with brightness (shot a bird on an open ridge top late morning on a sunny day).  The battery life is great and it held zero through some rough hunting.  Very well made sight.  That said, I hate raising my cheek off the stock when I shoot.  I've had it drilled in my head every since I could hold a gun that your cheek belongs on the stock.  Although the sight works great and is in my mind a quality sight, I just can't get comfortable without a solid cheek weld!  Just crazy I guess!!

Agreed. 2 options I found

1 use a speedbead which is the best option in my opinion but limited in guns it fits

2 use a 336 base and get a shotgun wedge from God-a-grip. Great cheek riser and is very soft. It also looks great on the gun unlike most of the other cheek riser options out there. I used one on my sbe2 and they are awesome

Love it, with a speedbead mount. Can't be beat.

That said, I have a second gun with just the factory beads for rainy days. Rain turns the fastfire into a windshield without wipers. Not much good with precipitation. I've always wondered if anyone has come up with a solution for this???

Best thing I've ever done to my turkey gun and I've done a lot.

I use rain x on it and then use the rain cover it comes with. I take the cover off as late as possible before shooting and the rain x works long enough to not be an issue. With the speed bead I can still use my front bead anyways so I always have a back up

I use a FF2. The 3 is only an improvement on a already fantastic product. Can't beat a lifetime warranty

I haven't used a red dot but that's exactly my concern

My brother uses an anti fog spray used for skiers goggles. He's never had a problem since
