They are light, reasonably clear and have several mounting options.  They have a lifetime warranty, fair pricing and durable.  For the money they are a nice option...

But, they have only two dot sizes, neither or which I like(3or8).  If you can live with either then its a good option.

Love mine...light weight, no issues holding zero, great customer support. Only gripe I have is that the lens is very easy to scratch, so I try to keep the cover on when moving through brush.

Does it fit the 336 base?

It's a very good sight but there are many options out there now. I just reviewed one that I'm very excited about. It's small, light, programmable, has touch technology, gets thousand of hours on a battery, is very reasonably priced and...I can't tear it up!

Thanks,
Clark

They are good sights.  Now I like the FFII better but both have good points.  I would like to see them combined both of them to make one.

I have an FFII on my son's 20 ga, and an FFIII on my 12 ga, and have zero issues.
Excellent sights, and I will be getting another one for my H and R 20 ga as I continue to build that gun.
