FastFire

[1bigrn]

Im building up a ultralight short barrel AR.
Im considering the Burris Fastfire II.
Has anyone mounted one on their AR? How is it?
Does it need a riser?

It will need a riser.

You'd probably be better off with an Aimpoint Micro the Fastfire's dot seems hard to acquire to me

The aimpoint Micro is awesome...some good deals to be had on the EE. That is my unbiased opinion.

You'll likely want a riser for the AR15. That said, when shooting with both eyes open (typical red dot technique), you should be able to superimpose the dot from one eye onto an image of the target coming from the other eye in your brain without any trouble.

I had one on my VZ58 for a while, it worked perfectly, then I sold the rifle for a handgun.

I also use a fast fire on my M14 for pushing bushes in deer season. I love it. It's a nice little optic. If you do go this route you'll be happy.

Larue makes a very nice riser and protected mount for the Fast Fire.

Have the fast fire piggy backing my acog and never had an issue with it no matter what time of day it was. Also look for a thing called the "PICATINNY PROTECTOR MOUNT" accessory.
