Burris FastFire III 3 MOA Red Dot Sight

The Burris FastFire 3 3 MOA red dot sight combines a lightweight, low-profile design with a crisp aiming point for fast target acquisition and accurate shot placement. It can be used as a primary optic on a handgun, rifle, shotgun, or muzzleloader, or added to a compatible piggyback or secondary optic setup.

The 3 MOA red dot provides a precise aiming point that covers less of the target than a larger dot. This makes the FastFire 3 a strong choice for target shooting, hunting, rimfire firearms, competition, and shooters who want a balance of speed and precision.

Its 1x magnification and unlimited eye relief allow comfortable both-eyes-open shooting, helping you maintain awareness of your target and surroundings. The automatic brightness sensor adjusts the dot to changing light conditions, while three manual brightness settings allow you to select the intensity that works best for your application.

A top-loading CR1632 battery allows battery replacement without removing the optic from its mount. The FastFire 3 also includes an automatic 8-hour timeout to help conserve battery life when the sight is accidentally left on.

Technical Specifications

Mounting the Burris FastFire 3

The Burris FastFire 3 uses the Docter / Noblex mounting pattern. When selecting an EGW mount or optic plate, choose a product that specifically lists the Burris FastFire 3 as compatible. The FastFire 3 does not use the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K Series, Holosun C Series, or Aimpoint ACRO footprint.

The included detachable Picatinny mount can be used on compatible Picatinny rails. Mounting the optic directly to a handgun slide normally requires the correct optic cut, factory adapter plate, or an EGW rear-sight dovetail mount made for the specific firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What footprint does the Burris FastFire 3 use?

The FastFire 3 uses the Docter / Noblex footprint. On EGW product pages, this may also be identified as the Burris FastFire, Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper, or Docter mounting pattern. Always confirm that the Burris FastFire 3 is listed on the individual mount page.

What is a 3 MOA red dot best used for?

A 3 MOA red dot offers a useful balance between fast target acquisition and precise aiming. It works well for handgun shooting, target shooting, hunting, rimfire firearms, rifles, and competition applications.

Do I have to remove the optic to replace the battery?

No. The CR1632 battery is accessed through the top of the FastFire 3, allowing the battery to be replaced while the sight remains mounted.

Does the FastFire 3 include a mount?

Yes. The FastFire 3 includes a detachable Picatinny mount. A different mount or adapter plate may be required for direct installation on a handgun, shotgun, or firearm without a compatible Picatinny rail.

Will the FastFire 3 fit an optics-ready handgun?

It can be installed on many optics-ready handguns, but it is not universally compatible with every factory optic cut. The firearm must have a Docter-compatible cut or use the correct adapter plate. Screw length can also vary between firearm models.
