Elevate Your Aim: Discover the Burris FastFire 3 Red Dot Sight for Unrivaled Precision and Speed

Are you searching for the ultimate aiming solution to enhance your shooting performance across pistols, shotguns, and rifles? Do you often wonder how to achieve faster target acquisition, improved accuracy in dynamic scenarios, or a clearer sight picture in challenging light conditions? The answer lies in advanced reflex optics, and the Burris 300234 FastFire 3 Matte Black 1x21x15mm 3 MOA Red Dot Sight stands as a testament to cutting-edge design and reliable performance, trusted by enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Designed for shooters who demand precision without compromise, the FastFire 3 is a compact, robust, and exceptionally versatile red dot sight. It addresses common challenges faced by shooters, from the need for rapid target engagement in self-defense scenarios to achieving pinpoint accuracy for competitive shooting or precise shot placement during a hunt. This isn't just an optic; it's an upgrade to your shooting capability, providing a bright, distinct aiming point that simplifies complex shots and dramatically improves your sight-to-target time.

What Makes the Burris FastFire 3 a Game Changer for Shooters?

The core of the FastFire 3's appeal lies in its intelligent design and user-centric features. Unlike traditional iron sights that require perfect alignment of three planes, the FastFire 3 presents a single, clear red dot in your field of view. This intuitive aiming method allows for a focus on the target, enabling faster target acquisition and improved situational awareness.

Unmatched Clarity and Optical Performance

• True 1x Magnification: The FastFire 3 offers a true 1:1 view, ensuring no magnification or distortion. This is crucial for maintaining natural depth perception and peripheral vision, especially in close-quarters battle (CQB) or dynamic shooting environments where maintaining awareness of your surroundings is paramount.
• Unlimited Eye Relief: Forget about precise eye placement. With unlimited eye relief, you can mount the FastFire 3 on virtually any firearm and achieve a consistent sight picture regardless of your head position. This flexibility makes it ideal for a wide range of shooting styles and applications, from rapid pistol presentations to relaxed rifle shooting.
• Parallax-Free Design: The FastFire 3 is designed to be parallax-free up to 50 yards. This means that within this range, the red dot remains on target even if your eye moves slightly off-center, significantly simplifying aiming and increasing shot consistency, particularly for fast-paced engagements or when shooting from unconventional positions.
• Hi-Lume® Multi-Coated Optics: Equipped with Burris's proprietary Hi-Lume® multi-coated lenses, the FastFire 3 ensures superior light transmission and reduced glare. This advanced coating technology enhances clarity, contrast, and brightness, providing a crisp, vibrant image even in low-light conditions or bright sunshine, allowing the 3 MOA red dot to stand out brilliantly against any background.

Precision and Adaptability with the 3 MOA Red Dot Reticle

The 3 MOA (Minute of Angle) red dot is a popular choice among rifle shooters and those who prioritize precise aiming. But what exactly does 3 MOA mean in practical terms? A Minute of Angle subtends approximately 1 inch at 100 yards. Therefore, a 3 MOA dot covers roughly 3 inches at 100 yards, 1.5 inches at 50 yards, and so on.

• Pin-Point Accuracy: For rifle users, especially those engaging targets at moderate distances, the smaller 3 MOA dot covers significantly less of the target area compared to larger dot sizes (like the 8 MOA option available for other FastFire models). This allows for more precise shot placement on smaller targets or specific points of impact, making it ideal for varmint hunting, target shooting, or precision plinking.
• Versatility Across Platforms: While optimized for rifles, the 3 MOA dot can also be highly effective on pistols and shotguns for users who desire maximum precision over rapid target acquisition. For example, a shotgun slug hunter aiming for a specific vitals shot on a deer might prefer the finer aiming point of a 3 MOA dot over a broader one.

Intelligent Brightness Control for Any Environment

The FastFire 3 excels in adaptability thanks to its sophisticated brightness management system. It offers both manual and automatic brightness settings, ensuring optimal visibility of the red dot in any lighting condition.

• Three Manual Brightness Settings: For specific tactical situations or personal preference, users can manually select from three distinct brightness levels. This allows you to dial in the perfect intensity for varying light environments, whether you're in a brightly lit indoor range or transitioning from shade to direct sunlight outdoors.
• Automatic Brightness Adjustment: The integrated automatic brightness sensor is a standout feature. It instantly reacts to ambient light conditions, adjusting the red dot's intensity to be perfectly visible without being overbearing or too dim. This "set it and forget it" convenience means you can focus entirely on your target without fumbling with controls as lighting changes, a significant advantage in dynamic shooting sports or self-defense scenarios.

Robust Construction and Thoughtful Design for Lifelong Use

The Burris FastFire 3 is built to withstand the rigors of the field, reflecting Burris's commitment to durability and reliability.

• Rugged Aluminum Housing: Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the FastFire 3 is incredibly lightweight at just 1.50 oz (without mount), yet exceptionally tough. Its compact dimensions (1.90" length) ensure it adds minimal bulk to your firearm.
• Shockproof and Waterproof: Engineered to endure significant recoil and harsh environmental conditions, the FastFire 3 is shockproof, capable of handling the heaviest calibers without losing zero. It's also fully waterproof, meaning rain, splashes, or even accidental submersion won't compromise its performance. This makes it a reliable choice for any weather condition or operational environment.
• Convenient Top-Mounted Battery Access: The battery compartment is intelligently located on the top of the sight, allowing for quick and easy battery replacement (using a CR1632 battery) without having to remove the sight from your firearm. This ensures you maintain your zero, saving time and ammunition. Remember to use a full-sized flat-head screwdriver that fills the entire battery cap slot when installing the battery cap to prevent damage and ensure a secure seal.
• Upgraded Windage and Elevation Adjustments: With 115 MOA of windage and elevation adjustment range, the FastFire 3 provides ample capability for precise zeroing and compensation. These adjustments are clear, tactile, and reliable, allowing for quick and accurate changes to dial in your shots.

Versatility Across Firearm Platforms: Where Does the FastFire 3 Shine?

One of the most compelling aspects of the Burris FastFire 3 (MPN 300234) is its exceptional adaptability, making it a powerful upgrade for a wide array of firearms.

Pistol Enhancement: Elevate Your Handgun Performance

For pistol shooters, the FastFire 3 transforms your handgun into a far more effective tool for speed and accuracy.

• Rapid Target Acquisition: The single red dot reticle eliminates the need to align front and rear sights, allowing you to get on target significantly faster, especially beneficial for self-defense, tactical training, or competitive shooting (e.g., USPSA, IDPA).
• Improved Accuracy: Many shooters find it easier to achieve tighter groups with a red dot, as it removes the sight alignment variable and allows for greater focus on trigger control. This is particularly true for aging eyes or those with vision limitations, where iron sights can become blurry.
• "Optics Ready" Handgun Compatibility: The FastFire 3 will work seamlessly with virtually every "optics ready" handgun, including popular models like the Glock MOS system. For specific screw lengths necessary for correct mounting, always consult your firearm manufacturer. DEGuns staff can also provide guidance on common setups.

Shotgun Superiority: From Turkeys to Home Defense

A red dot sight on a shotgun dramatically improves aiming capability, especially for single projectiles or precision pattern placement.

• Turkey Hunting: Precisely place your shot on a turkey's head and neck, critical for a clean harvest. The 3 MOA dot offers the precision needed for those ethical, longer-range shots.
• Slug Shooting: When using slugs for deer hunting or tactical applications, the FastFire 3 allows for rifle-like accuracy, making longer-range slug shots far more achievable and consistent than with traditional bead sights.
• Home Defense: In a stressful home defense scenario, the ability to quickly acquire a target and maintain situational awareness is paramount. The FastFire 3's speed and parallax-free design contribute significantly to effective engagement.

Rifle Revolution: Ideal for Modern Sporting Rifles and More

The FastFire 3 truly excels on rifles, especially modern sporting rifles (MSRs) like AR-15s, carbines, and rimfire rifles.

• CQB Excellence: As an "ultimate CQB sight," it's designed for close-quarters engagements where speed and wide field of view are critical. It allows for aiming with both eyes open, maintaining peripheral vision and awareness of multiple threats or targets.
• Versatile Mounting: The included detachable Weaver/Picatinny mount makes installation on almost any rifle rail system incredibly straightforward. This allows for quick attachment and detachment, providing flexibility for different shooting needs.
• Lightweight and Compact: Its minimal footprint and weight make it an ideal primary optic for lightweight carbines or a reliable offset secondary optic for magnified rifle scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Burris FastFire 3

Q: Is the Burris FastFire 3 durable enough for harsh conditions?
A: Absolutely. The FastFire 3 features a robust aluminum housing, is shockproof to withstand heavy recoil, and fully waterproof, making it reliable in virtually any environment, from a dusty range to a rainy hunt.

Q: How do I adjust the brightness on the FastFire 3?
A: The FastFire 3 offers both three manual brightness settings and an automatic brightness setting that reacts to ambient light, ensuring optimal visibility of the red dot in any condition. Adjustments are made via easy-to-access side-mounted controls.

Q: Can I mount the FastFire 3 on my "optics ready" pistol?
A: Yes, the FastFire 3 is designed to work with virtually every "optics ready" handgun, including systems like the Glock MOS. However, Burris supplied mounting screws may not be the correct length for every single handgun model. It's advisable to contact your firearm manufacturer for specific screw lengths or consult with experts at DEGuns for guidance.

Q: Why choose a 3 MOA dot over a larger one?
A: The 3 MOA dot is preferred by shooters who prioritize pinpoint accuracy, especially for rifles or longer-range engagements. Its smaller size covers less of the target area, allowing for more precise shot placement. For rapid target acquisition at very short ranges, particularly with handguns or shotguns, an 8 MOA dot (available on other FastFire models) might be preferred as it appears larger and is quicker to pick up.

Q: Is the battery easy to replace, and does it require re-zeroing?
A: The FastFire 3 features a convenient top-mounted battery compartment, allowing you to replace the CR1632 battery without removing the sight from your firearm. This ensures that your zero is maintained, saving you time and ammunition. Just remember to use a full-sized flat-head screwdriver when securing the battery cap.
