Due to business at home and upcoming plans I'm unable to fool with this. Someone else can sure handle the reigns. :icon_thumright:
I would like to be in on a group buy if it saves us some cash. I'd like to have the 3 moa with the picatinny mount.
It did last year. Also guys something to consider if this even happens is if OG is cool with it. Nobody get their hopes up until its all clear.
Count me in.
Just wondering...what kind of prices are we talking about? I am actually interested in the 8 moa dot for waterfowl as well as turkey.
keep me in mind .
I would be in also :z-guntootsmiley:
I might be interested also.
I'm in.
Thanks for seeing what you can do, and if it's ok with Shannon.
God Bless,
David B.
I'm interested also.
Keep me posted please
Im in if the price is good.
I may be interested also !
I am interested if the price is right.
Count me in!
I'm in
definitely interested
Not sure what it takes but any word if we will be able to get a group buy?
I am in as well if it all works out....thanks
I'm interested in hearing more!! :thanks:
I'm interested as well.
I'd be interested in one
Definitely interested!
If coupled with Jim's new FF3 protector which I'm sure he is already working on then yes there will be a pretty good savings. Add in the mount on top of that and you guys will probably be looking at saving yourselves $30 or more. Most likely you'd be getting a free mount or protector at the very minimum when it's all said and done.
We need to check on product arrival dates and then Jim can go on from there. I'm not involved in this buy. I'm only directing Jim to those that can help him just so you know.
Thank you BO for the information. Money is in hand and ready to buy the 3 moa with picatinny mount and protector.
If this does go forward will there be buying options or a one size fits all package???...meaning I would be interested in the sight only...no mount and no protector...

More info will be known on that soon..I think the "Official" release of the scope is pending first..I believe the shot show may be an important date but not speculating. Only Burris Optics can tell us the ready date. I have to have "scope in hand" to ready a guard, test fit and all that good stuff. I don't think it will take much tweaking but still can't promise anything on it. Thanks.
thanks brother...although...if you were to put the "old style" turkey feathers logo on the side of the new protectors I might could be swayed :fud:
Count me in if the group buy happens.
i'm interested
count me in if the price is right
Also interested...
For what it is worth.....I have been watching Midway USA and they have steadily been "Delaying" the availability date of the FFIII. Initially it was posted as 1-9-12...currently they show 1-26-12! I got a feeling we will be lucky to have one in hand for practical use much before Spring!

You maybe right about a delay from Midway however the SHOT show begins on Tuesday and will I can't say for certain, I'd imagine Burris will announce the FF3 next week. Give 2-3 weeks for delivery to retailers to start receiving the merchandise. I'm hopeful anyway
I'd be interested. Thanks for working on this!
Interested also :icon_thumright:.
Someone should be selling them at the convention in Feb !
Count me in!
I am interested if the price is right.
I'm interested
VERY interested! I'm either going to buy a FFII or FFIII very, very soon. I think I would rather have the FFIII, but I'm not gonna be able to wait until March to get everything set up. PLEASE keep us posted!

I'm in the same boat. I was just about to buy a II when I read on here about the III coming. With as tight as my schedule gets, I'd much rather by scouting birds in March than patterning a shotgun!

After talking to Burris via PM the other day....I went ahead and ordered me a FFII. He says he would be very surprised if I could get my hands on a FFIII before our season opens on March 15th. I just can't wait that long. I guess I will eventually move the FFII to my son's gun and get me a FFIII later on once they're more available, get any initial production kinks worked out, etc.
I'm interested.
I'm trying to get an update on release dates as I type this and will let you guys know what I hear. The last I heard we were shooting for March 1 on the 8MOA and April 1 for the 3 MOA. I know those are pretty crappy dates for most of you but I'm pushing as hard as I can to get them earlier.
April 1st!!! . :begging:
In. I was just about to buy a FFII for a 20ga project.

Hopefully they will come in earlier.
If not, unfortunately I'm out for good, as I need something before March 15th.
Thanks for the update.

I don't know each of your situations but what did you do before Fast Fire sights were available, you used the bead on the end of your barrel.
Stay in the group buy and use your bead until the sight comes in. That way you get a new FFIII at a better price than guys not in the group buy.
I'll take a Burris Fastfire 3, a guard, and a mount for a Rem. 870

That's right you don't know everyone's situation. As stated before, I already have a FFII and April 1 doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned.
I'm In!!!!

Well ok then. Are you pleased with your FFII?
Very Pleased with my FFII. It is the best for the money.

No, I used various scopes, and EOTechs.
I just wanted to try the FF as well on a newer gun, as I have heard good things about them.

I was fixn to order a speed bead but I'll wait, I'm need a speed bead mount for a benelli M2 with the FF III.
just ordered a ff2. Shame I have no patience
Might be interested in a FF III if the price is good.
intrested if the price is good!
We have both the origional and the FF II, so yes, count us in.
Thanks
:OGturkeyhead:
Interested!
Very interested!!!
I will take one also. What the price?
interested also
Im interested also. Cant see my fiber optics as good as I used to. Got to do something.
I would be interested
It doesn't look like we're going to be able to pull this off in time for a group buy. Sorry guys.
What do you mean "in time"? I haven't specified any time restrictions on my desire to purchase a FF3 at a decent price by doing this as a group buy.

Me either. I'm staying optimistic. Even if we save a little green on the site, mount and guard it will be worth it.

Really appreciate your trying to help us out. :icon_thumright:
I'd be more than happy to wait, even if it's after turkey season.
I just ordered a FF II, and it should be here Friday. So, I'm not in any time restraints now. :toothy9:
God Bless,
David B.
Same boat here, I installed a new mueller yesterday so I can wait a bit until we can get a buy together
I'm interested in going in on a group buy. What kind of discount can we expect?
I'm not sure what the prices would be but the savings would be comparable to last year's buy. I'm not involved with that so I wouldn't really know. There may be a post-season group buy it sounds like.
I still want one when it comes out . I have a ff2 and like it better than any of the 4 different brands I own.
I hope I'm wrong here but it doesn't look like there will be a group buy at all for the FastFire III ???
I wont be involved in one till after turkey season. Probably looking at late May to start. Someone else may be available for that right now but I'm too busy with calls. I wouldnt want any hunter expecting their stuff before his or her season to be mid season preparing their setup. A group buy after the spring smoke clears is a valid option for those not looking for one this season

If you don't mind, start a new sign-up thread when you do it and also post here to let us know that there is a new one so we don't miss it. Thanks.
how much we looking at ? sorry if i missed it in other post
keep all of our replies i am sure most of us will still want in on the group buy.
Quote from: slickyboyboo on March 09, 2012, 11:49:17 AM
I'm still in for two on an after the season group buy.
:icon_thumright:
Still want 1 maybe 2 myself.
Roy
I will take one also
My season is pretty much over already. I am definitely interested in one for my Sbe ii
Count me in for 1. Still not sure what I'm going to put it on so might just go for the Weaver mount.
My Benelli M1 wants one. I'm in for the sight, guard and mount.
Any news on a group buy?
God Bless,
David B.
I must have missed the boat on this post. But if the deal is still going to happen then I am in for one...
I would also like to know is there any news on the group buy?
I'd be in for a group buy on a FFIII, no mount.
I would have to venture that this group buy deal is dead in the water and is t moving forward at all. So I would say that if you're interested in a FF3 that you might as well pick one up on your own and not wait around for a group buy that appears will never happen. I myself went ahead and purchased a FF3 with. 3moa and am very happy with it sitting atop my RRA CAR4.
I haven't heard of any word of the group buy happening - you would be best served contacting Martin here { Burris Optics } and he would answer for you -
I Gave up and bought one . :toothy12:
