Hey all. Looking for a basic but solid RDO for the 5 or so days of deer chasing I do. Gun already has a Pic rail so since this model comes with the pic adapter it seems adequate. I was just looking for some real world experience or thoughts on something similar. Thanks

I’ve been using one on a PAP M92 AK Pistol for a number of years without incident.

It works.
It’s accurate enough for the platform it’s on.

I have no complaints with it.

I just saw that. Thank you so much for the info. I plan on stopping there Monday. I guess for that price I should just go ahead. I am curious though what happened that they are discounted. A new version coming soon?

I have run a FF3 on a 12ga. shotgun with full power buckshot and slugs.   It held up fine.  Absolutely zero problems.  100% reliable.  I did change to a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro but only because it has a larger viewing screen and field of view, clearer glass.

But, for the price the FF3 is rugged and dependable.

I prefer a closed emitter dot. Right about the same price, Romeo 5 Gen 2.

For a hunting rifle I agree, go closed emitter and the Romeo 5 Gen 2 is a great affordable option

I may have to look at the Romeo.  I can’t find the Burris anywhere in person which makes me think that they are going away.

I had one a few years ago mounted on a Glock 17. Seemed like a solid dot but it shut off after 8 hours and did not have a shake awake feature so I sold it.

It works, moved it to my Ruger MK-IV.

Probably discontinued, they’re pretty long in the tooth. I like the Romeo a lot for the money.

I've never tried a Burris sight, but I'm happy with my Holosun green dot on my 1894 357 mag.

The Burris is a good sight for the money. I have 2. I agree that for huting you might look at a closed emitter. I like the Holosun ARO for the money. Plus watch the EE here for a deal on something used if you arent in a hurry. Also check gundeals for best prices.

I agree with others, the Romeo 5 is a solid option and so I the Holosun. The Holosun lets you select your reticle from a simple dot, a circle with hash marks, a circle and a c center dot etc.
