I'm looking to upgrade my optic from a Primary Arms micro dot, to the Burris Fastfire III.  The only problem I have with the PA micro dot, is the tint on the glass.  I do a lot of shooting at night, and I can tell the difference between that and my Aimpoint H1.  How is the glass on the Fastfire, is there a tint or nice and clear?

I didn't see any tint in the one I looked through.  I had one on preorder from OP, but had to cancel....will get one someday due to the price over RMRs.  
I actually like the tint in the T1––but I've never shot at night with it.  Though with a weapons light, I bet it wouldn't matter.

Thanks.  I was pretty much set on another Aimpoint for my HK USC/UMP conversion, but thought I might try something different...and save $250

I'm in a similar boat––except it's for a .22AR Pistol not an UMP (I wish!).
The Militaty Moron guy ran an MRDS TYPE sight like the FF3 for a year before going to the T-1...he liked it.

(from the other post:  the AR-f3 shroud doesn't fit the FF3....that comes out in Fall.)

I went ahead and took the plunge on the Burris.  Maybe it will be here by the weekend

update:



Worked out fantastic, and a couple hundred dollars less than another T-1.  I'm not sure about the auto brightness feature though.  We hunt with spotlights at night, and it seemed a little too bright.  I turned it to the lowest setting and it worked out perfect.
