Burris FastFire® RD — Rifle Dot Red Dot Sight
Item #: 300260 | Dot size: 2 MOA | Battery: 1× AAA | Mount: Integrated Picatinny
Tech Notes — Astigmatism, Blurry Dots & Setup Tips
• Astigmatism: Uncorrected astigmatism or dry eyes can make the dot look like a starburst/comet. Check by viewing the dot through a phone camera (should look crisp), and/or lower brightness.
• Training (carbines/handguns): Bring the sight close to your eye to acquire the dot, then press out slowly while keeping it centered; repeat until presentation is automatic.
• Emitter cleanliness: Smudges, oil, or dust on the small emitter lens can blur/flare the dot. Blow off dust, use a soft lens brush, then (only if needed) a tiny amount of lens cleaner on microfiber. Avoid harsh solvents; do not touch the LED.
