FF3/Venom/Holosun 507c Which one
« on: March 17, 2021, 09:30:10 AM »
For the life of me I can't make up my mind which one.  All seem about the same.  Only thing leaning me towards the Holosun is the reviews that they are better for astigmatism.  Thoughts?

Just in case you haven't heard of them, I bought a swampfox kingslayer after reading some good reviews here.  Newer company.  I haven't got it mounted yet, but think I am really going to like it.  I think I was at $155 from optics planet for it which I thought was a good deal.  All FYI.  good luck

Which one has the most reliable “motion-on”, auto-off feature?

I own the Holosun 507c, Kingslayer and several FF2s and FF3s. I like the holosun as it allows you to change reticle. It’s motion activated wake up is excellent. I’m also pretty fond of the kingslayer with green reticle. Only issue there is no on/off or auto brightness features. It’s also cheaper though and really nice. No issues at all from my Burris units. The gold standard I’d say. I moved away from them just to try something different. Burris has the new FF4which is similar to the holosun with variable reticle etc. If I had to pick one only prob lean holosun

I was thinking about the auto on/off feature - do have to worry about sitting there holding still waiting for Tom to make those final steps into range and it takes 15 mins or more, then he does and your dot has gone off?

I have no "1st hand knowledge" but I have read where 1 guy said he couldn't walk across a room to his gun standing in the corner without the sight turning on.  That is pretty sensitive and I doubt you would be able to hold that still for the sight to turn off.

I am about to purchase a Holosun 507 with the green dot.
I got the Kingslayer green circle on 870 and I like it.
Just going try the Holosun 507 for the multi reticles.

I have the Burris FF3, Vortex Venom, and the Swampfox Kingslayer.  I can find no fault with any of them.
