Burris FastFire 3 Red Dot Sight 8 MOA Dot

The Burris FastFire 3 8 MOA red dot sight is a compact, lightweight reflex sight designed for rapid target acquisition. Its large 8 MOA red dot is easy to see and quickly place on target, making this version particularly well suited to handguns, shotguns, and other firearms used at close to moderate distances. With 1x magnification, unlimited eye relief, and a parallax-free optical system, the FastFire 3 provides a fast, intuitive sight picture for both-eyes-open shooting.

At only 1.5 ounces and 1.9 inches long, the FastFire 3 provides red dot capability without adding significant weight or bulk to a firearm. It can serve as a primary optic on compatible platforms or as a compact secondary sight. This model includes a detachable Picatinny mount for convenient installation on rifles, shotguns, and other platforms equipped with a compatible rail.

8 MOA Red Dot for Rapid Target Acquisition

The defining feature of the FastFire 3 8 MOA is its large, highly visible aiming point. An 8 MOA dot is designed to be acquired quickly, making it particularly useful when speed is more important than having a fine aiming point at longer distances.

The larger reticle is well suited to close-range shooting applications where the shooter needs to locate the dot and place it on target with minimal delay. It is an especially practical choice for shotguns and handguns, while also providing a fast aiming solution for compatible rifles and carbines.

Automatic and Manual Brightness Control

A built-in automatic brightness sensor adjusts the red dot according to ambient lighting conditions. Three manual brightness settings are also available when you want direct control of the reticle. The combination makes it easy to maintain a visible aiming point as lighting changes throughout the day.

1x Magnification and Unlimited Eye Relief

The FastFire 3 uses 1x magnification and unlimited eye relief, allowing the optic to be used with both eyes open. This helps maintain peripheral vision and situational awareness while making it easier to acquire the aiming point quickly.

The 21x15mm sight window provides a useful viewing area in a compact package, while the parallax-free optical system helps maintain a consistent point of aim when the shooter's eye position changes relative to the optic.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Weighing just 1.5 ounces, the FastFire 3 is designed to add minimal weight to the firearm. Its 1.9-inch length also makes it useful on compact platforms where available mounting space is limited.

High-grade optical glass and Burris Hi-Lume multicoating help provide a bright, clear sight picture while reducing glare and improving performance in challenging lighting. The FastFire 3 is also waterproof and shockproof for dependable performance in outdoor conditions and under recoil.

Convenient Top-Loading Battery

The FastFire 3 uses a CR1632 battery with top-mounted battery access. This allows the battery to be changed without removing the optic from its mounting position, helping minimize the need to re-zero the sight after routine battery replacement.

An automatic eight-hour time-out feature helps conserve battery power. Depending on usage and illumination settings, Burris rates battery life at up to five years.

Picatinny Mount Included

The Burris FastFire 3 8 MOA includes a detachable Picatinny mount for a straightforward installation on compatible rifles, shotguns, and other firearms. Additional compatible Burris mounting solutions can also be used for handgun and other firearm configurations.

Who Should Choose the FastFire 3 8 MOA?

The 8 MOA FastFire 3 is best suited to shooters who prioritize speed and reticle visibility over a fine aiming point at extended distances. The large dot is particularly useful for close-range applications, making it a strong option for shotgun use, handgun applications, and fast-moving shooting scenarios. Shooters who expect to engage targets at greater distances may prefer the smaller 3 MOA FastFire 3 reticle.
