Best reflex sight
Opinions on the best reflex sight, will be on a .410 used by an 8yo so it will be dropped and needs to be rugged and simple to use. Thanks in advance.

Re: Best reflex sight
The Burris Fastfire 3 and the Vortex Venom both have strong followings. I’ve got a Burris FF3 and love it. With either, given your need for durability in the hands of a young hunter, get a sumtoy mount designed with the built-in protector.

Re: Best reflex sight
Not exactly the same, but Eotechs have a reputation for still working after having been practically destroyed.
I vote Leupold with triangle reticle, but Trijicons are a close second. I was going to get a Leupold myself, but I found a way to get a Fastfire III for $74. They're good enough.
For a kid, I'd get the Fastfire and leave the cover on all the time. You want the lens cover so bug spray isn't smeared on the lens. DEET eats polymer.
Is there a protector which allows the Fastfire cover to be used?

I believe Sumtoy's combo base/protector will allow use of the sight's cover.howl wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2019, 2:48 pm Not exactly the same, but Eotechs have a reputation for still working after having been practically destroyed.

Re: Best reflex sight
I have the FF3 and my cover works with the warbird protector
Re: Best reflex sight
Better is the enemy of good enough. The Fast Fire series is a cheaper (less expensive, not shoddy) version of the more expensive Docter series. Big plus for FF series is Burris's customer service. There must be hundreds of them in use and rarely is heard a complaint here or on other boards.

Re: Best reflex sight
Burris FF3 and or the FF2
Re: Best reflex sight
As far as best, Aimpoint is #1, Trijicon, Eotechs, Doctor, Zeiss, (FFIII Vortex Razor Leupold)
Re: Best reflex sight
For reflex, the ff2 and ff3 will be the ones to beat.
I put a bushnell trs-25 on my little 301t and initial impressions are good. Seems like a really nice and cheap red dot option. Time will tell. I havent shot it yet
