Best Affordable Red Dot?

[Glades]

Burris FF3 is the best deal in the market. That's a fact, not an opinion.

Burris FF3 is $160 and has a lifetime/no-questions-asked repair or replacement warranty. Only Burris and Vortex have that type of warranty. The Vortex is just as good but $90 more. If you are ever on a hunt, crawling and smash your glass on a rock and it breaks, Burris will give you a new unit. Vortex would do the same. Trijicon, Swampfox and Holosun will politely tell you to go fly a kite. Get the FF3.

Where are you finding this for 160.00, everywhere I'm looking says 250ish

There are several large outdoor retailers on eBay that sell them new in box. That's where I got mine.

I wouldn't put another kingslayer on a turkey gun if it was the last optic on earth.  That thing is terrible for hunting, I have one laying around that I might put on an air rifle or something, but never on a turkey gun.  It turns itself off after 4 hours.  Period.  I don't care if you move it, adjust the intensity of the dot, whatever, that thing is going to turn off at the 4 hour mark and you have to manually turn it back on.  Chances are its gonna happen with a turkey in front of you sooner or later. 

You can get the romeo 5 considerably cheaper, it has WAY better battery life,  is auto off/on and the motion activation is very sensitive, you don't have to ever worry about it not turning on.

I used mine this season & so far I'm loving it. Just have to wait & see if it holds up. I think it is supposed to shut off after 4 hours to keep from running the battery down if you forget to turn it off. It's never been a problem for me so far.

Good advice in this thread for sure ....

I've been real happy with the at3 micro red dots. Same footprint as a Fastfire, cheaper, and I like the button and battery cap quite a bit more.

This!!

Romeo 5 is the way

I have run the FF 3's on several guns without issue except for one that I had would not hold zero ...
That particular red dot was used and I bought in the classifieds on this forum
I sent it back to Burris no questions asked they sent me a new one in the box
Hard to beat that customer service .

I also run Leupolds on serval guns with no problems but to answer your question for the money you can't beat the Burris FF 3

Good luck

Not sure about Swamp Fox not replacing them.  I messed up the lens on mine last year and they replaced it no questions asked.

I'd like to know that too.  I've been seeing $229 more often lately.  Prices go up from there.
