Burris Fastfire III

[Bobshouse]

Anyone hear of this?

The next generation of FastFire Red-Dot is here with the introduction of the FastFire III. The popular FastFire II is even better with upgraded features that include a top mounted battery (CR2032) for easier battery replacement, upgraded windage and elevation adjustments and a power button that provides three manual brightness settings and an automatic brightness setting with low battery indicator. For added versatility, the FastFire III comes in a 3 MOA or 8 MOA dot and includes a protective cover and battery. Just like the rugged FastFire II, the FastFire III features a Steel body construction for extreme durability and is 100% waterproof. The ultimate CQB sight is perfect for mounting on your pistol, shotgun or rifle, and is offered with an optional picatinny mount. Covered by the Burris 1-year factory warranty.

Found on Midwayusa.

First I've heard of it, but sounds pretty exciting if it's as good as the Fastfire 2 and for only $30-$50 more. Can't wait to see it. Thanks for the heads-up!

If it's not true, why would Midway have it posted on their site?

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see it posted on Burris website.

I would expect the SHOT Show next month will be the start of the marketing blitz.

I sure hope it fits the existing mounts. I like the sound of the manual brightness settings, in addition to the auto-adjust. I liked the brighter starting point of the auto-adjusting Deltapoint, but I liked the price of the FastFire II better.

Being able to change the battery from the top is certainly welcome. The specs on length and weight are the same as the II, it appears.

First one to post a pic wins!

Wins what? A free Fastfire III from OpticsPlanet..? Awesome!

The Burris Fastfire III is "pre-listed" on several mail order sites, so it seem like this is more than a mistake or rumor.

As everyone knows, not available yet, expect the big announcement in mid-January at SHOT show, availability shortly after that.

Awesome! Glad I didn't ask for the II for Christmas.

Someone on another forum reports that he spoke to Burris and that they are now saying "late March".
