Vortex Viper vs Burris Fastfire 3 -- red dot shootout

[@lthomas4697]

On the Burris Fastfire III the cover helps to keep bright sunlight from flaring the screen as well as helping in the rain.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

You are quite correct and I have used them for that purpose. Thanks for stopping by.

[@coburna5]

The American defense mount is my favorite for the fastfire 3. Quick detach and rock solid.

[@thirdlantern]

Great review. I like your delivery -- no monkeying around. You get right to the meat of things. I've been on the fence with these two sights, but am leaning towards the Burris. Thanks!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I too lean toward the Burris and use it all the time for the Steel Challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

[@irgski]

Just bought a Vortex Venom...still in available and in stock. The FF cover looks like it functions as a sunshade.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

The venom with the 6 moa dot was out of stock when I purchased mine. Yes the Burris cover does serve as a sun shade if needed. Thanks for stopping by.

Great video for a comparison of the features and specifications. Thank you.

Thanks for stopping by Scott.

I see most people are using these for competition but I plan to use the Burris I just purchased on a Ruger Super Blackhawk 10.5 for hunting. I can’t seem to focus the iron sights in the shadows anymore and this should be just the ticket.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Most likely thanks sixgunluver1.

[@coburna5]

I really enjoyed this comparison video. Thank you.

Getting the Burris Fastfire III in as my first RDS

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I have had good experiences with them. Please pay attention to the size of the red dot that you order. Smaller for more accuracy, larger for fast target acquisition.

[@robbie0884]

Great job sir! Thanks for your video it helped my decision on which one I want to purchase..

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

They are both very good sights and have the same warranty. You cannot go wrong with either one. Thanks for stopping by.

[@telolisou]

Thank you. Great review.! I am more inclined towards Burris.

[@michaelstorm8578]

Thanks for the info. I think I'll try one of the two on my Victory. I have a TrueGlo on it now that has worked well but it's a bit higher. I put a Tandem Kross trigger in that Victory and It's worth every penny of the cost. I went from a 4.3 to a 2.2 pound pull and my shooting has improved.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

When you have two excellent products it is very hard to choose between them. A good trigger is a real prize. Thanks for stopping by.

[@filoragno]

thank you! i've not finished yet, but i'm really apreciating.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Thanks for stopping by.

[@user-mt4vo4ey5n]

Nice review. I am looking at these two red dots. The Burris has fewer intensity settings, but I have a Vortex with 10 settings and don't care for all that. If the Burris warranty is a good as Vortex, then it will be hard to decide.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

As far as I know they have the same warranty. Thanks for stopping by.

[@Waushass]

Thanks Harold , been looking at both of these . Good information.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I wish one of them had a wart someplace so I could have declared one better than the other but so far I like them both. The 8 MOA dot is certainly for 50 yards or less. Of course most of my use will be 35 yards and closer. If I find anything in the next few months I will come back and report on it. Thanks for stopping by.

[@bstanga]

good review harold, I like Vortex, I have a strikefire II on one of the AR's

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I like Vortex myself. I think it will be a neck and neck contest as to which of these I use for the steel challenge. Maybe a different one each month. Glad to see you back on youtube. Thanks for stopping by.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

great share Harold , They both seem to be quality sites ..

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Like I told someone else I wish one had a wart or two so I could rate one better than the other. Thanks for stopping by.

[@weshowe51]

I've learned a lot about gun accessories from your channel, without having to buy anything. I've had more than a few guns, but mostly I just pointed and squeezed them at varmints.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Competitive shooting is where it is at. Thanks for stopping by.

[@nickjm37fordel1]

That's always the case, each one has things you like. But the world never gives all the good things on one item !!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

So true. Thanks for stopping by.

[@karlfriedboerner]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Thank you Karlfried.

[@poorbobbascaraquet2567]

Burris calls it a Sun Shade for easier viewing cheers!

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

And that it is. I have needed it one time when the sun was at a critical angle and would wash out the screen. Thanks for stopping by.

Great review. You do a very good job explaining all of the important things without going on forever like some people on youtube do that like to hear themselves talk. Do you think that the Burris Fastfire 3 would work well with a Browning Maxus 12 gauge shotgun? It is used for deer hunting in SE Virginia. We hunt with dogs and most of the shots would be at running deer. Thanks.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I cannot think of any reason it would have any trouble. Thanks for stopping by.

[@mikewalters8361]

Viper wins hands down if u plan on using pictiny mount ,i hate big ass screw to snag on bags in and out.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I suppose that is why they have so many flavors of ice cream at Baskin Robbins. I would mix the features of both of them if I could and that would be a much better sight than either of them. I like them both but right now I find the 8 MOA dot makes me faster so I am using the Burris most. Thanks for stopping by.

[@leoceh6073]

Hi Harold it’s a strange and greedy world we live in. I have tried to buy some items from the USA export restrictions comes up often funny because I am in Australia that said one reason is greed most things here cost more than double + one example AR mags over $150 each if you have a cat D licence $75 to $100 for most 10 shot mags most Ruger savage hunting rifles over $1000 all optics cant be shipped here we can buy them here but crazy cost if we do get it here no lifetime warranty unless it was purchased here . the new sig sauer combo scope + rangefinder double the price marlin .22 or .17 over $500 Rifle licences can take over 5 to 9 months hand gun licence 1 year if your luck and can only be used at the pistol club You guys are lucky to still have rights don’t let the government take them away like they did here

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I am not sure how long we can hold out. We have a billionaire who puts hundreds of millions of dollars into gun confiscation every year and he already owns the press. Our only hope is possibly another billionaire with an opposite viewpoint to Bloomberg. I am afraid that before it is all done he will buy the entire bill of rights. Thanks for stopping by.
