Title: Fast fire III vs Eotec
Post by: agturkey on February 24, 2012, 07:46:21 PM
If I mount a fast fire III to SBE II what will I need buy and do to mount?

Anyone like Eitec better than fast fire?

I can't say I like the EOTech better, I have never had a FF. I didn't like the sight removal to change battery on FFII and was not patient enough to wait on FFIII availability to put on my latest gun. EOTech was, in my opinion, best option for me at that point. I really like what I see out of the FFIII and would not rule out trying one at a later date if I have need. I do like my EOTech though and am happy with my decision. I think they are both quality sights, just depends on what you want/need.

I can say this...I ran an EOTECH on my M-4 in Iraq...I put that thing through the washer....no problems with it and they are VERY durable....my .02

We have Eotech's on all our stuff (DHS) and they are battle proven.  I have one on my 835 Tactical Turkey and it's awesome.  If I didn't buy an Eotech it would have been the FastFire.  Just went to what I was used to.  I do have 2 Burris rifle scopes and they are great optics.

Oh and to answer your other question, a FastFire will mount up in the same way as the Eotech if you decide to go with a pic mount.  One nice thing is that you do have an option with the FF.
