Burris Optics recently introduced the new Burris FastFire E. This is the company’s first fully enclosed emitter red dot in the popular FastFire series. It’s designed for use on pistols, shotguns, and carbines. The E has a pretty impressive set of features too, which will compete favorably with any other sights currently on the market.
The FastFire E
The FastFire E is crafted from monolithic machined aluminum. It’s waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof, which makes it rugged enough for EDC, tactical, or hunting applications. It’s 1.81 inches long and weighs just 2.45 ounces. That’s especially nice if you intend to mount it on a handgun. It comes with a black anodized finish.
The E uses a 3.5 MOA dot with an “always on” feature. It’s powered by a single CR2032 battery and has an impressive 60,000-hour battery life. That’s almost 7 years of constant on battery life, even with the shake awake feature. There are eight daylight and two night vision settings, and you can get either a red or green dot version. I’ve become a fan of the green dot, as I find it stands out better against most backgrounds, but it’s nice that Burris gives you choices.
The new enclosed FastFire E has a 22x17mm window and 1X magnification that allow for both eyes open shooting. It has aspherical lenses that provide a distortion-free, glare-resistant view. It’s also fully windage and elevation adjustable and has a 100 MOA adjustment range in 1 MOA click intervals.
The FastFire E uses the common Aimpoint ACRO footprint, making it easy to install on your favorite firearm. With the rugged construction and excellent battery life, Burris’s latest red dot should be a great option for outdoorsmen, or for competition or defense use. MSRP on the FastFire E is $420.
