The FastFire II belongs to the family of optics with a quick aiming system, suitable for all types of shotguns and hunting rifles. This technology allows for very fast and precise target acquisition: just align the red dot on the target and pull the trigger.
BURRIS is an American company, regarded as an icon in the field of optics. It is based in the town of Greeley, a municipality in the United States of America, in Weld County, in the state of Colorado. Burris has gained market shares and a respectable reputation in the US.
In business for over 40 years, Burris specializes in professional optics for professional hunters. Its products are considered robust and reliable, which guarantee top-level performance in every situation and territory. Burris, like all companies wishing to remain competitive on the market, has chosen the path of technological innovation, connected to the great American tradition and passion for hunting.
The optics of the Burris mount more than 100 individual components in some scopes, testifying to the desire to offer high-performance products. Some consider the processing techniques adopted in this company superior to German optical standards, the latter considered the best and most scrupulous in the world.
To confirm what has just been written, it is useful to mention the launch on the market of the Ballistic Laserscope sight with bright and crystalline lenses, combined with a range calculator and automatic trajectory compensation, tested in the field. Many of the Burris optics, such as the SixX series, offer an advanced design with the 6: 1 magnification index, which allows you to quickly set the right power level for every hunting situation: from the most impenetrable bush to long-range precision. .
The Burris is also and above all known for its patents, as the first constantly centered reticle without magnification, in telescopes of variable power; the first telescopes 4 - 12 x, 6 - 18 x and 8 - 32 x; the first dual reticle riflescope with Accu-Range trajectory compensator; the first telescopes with variable power for pistols; the first telescope built in titanium; the first single plane grating with trajectory compensator; the first optical pistol pointer that is mounted on the normal target plane (SpeedBead system); finally, the first telescope offering laser targeting, providing a perfect shot angle associated with the cartridge that will be used (the Ballistic LaserScope).
As happens when a new company is described, it is our care to give the reader the opportunity to get an idea of the technology that is used in the construction of the product, in this perspective with a quick pointing system. The FastFire II is the result of this technological level achieved by Burris. First, special mechanical expansion systems are used in order to eliminate the repercussions of multiple shocks within the telescope, thus ensuring integrity, focus accuracy and high performance without the need for parallax correction for all possible magnifications. . The resistance to scratches and corrosion, the latter improved by 4 times, is ensured by Hard-Coat class II type III anodizing for maximum scratch resistance. The use of superior metal components gives Burris optics the highest quality and incredible durability.
in this regard, Burris uses 360 brass for the formation cells instead of aluminum, in order to guarantee much more precise and constant performance. The button regulator and the adjustment rings are made of reinforced steel for extreme resistance. The external cylinders are built in a single piece and originate from an extrusion of thick aeronautical aluminum. The critical areas of the optics have been enlarged to ensure extremely strong support for each scope. The cam cylinders are composed of high tensile strength aluminum, type 7075-T6, achieving high strength at the impact points, facilitating precise focusing and high performance without parallax correction for all possible magnifications.
Inside, a double internal elastic force has been applied to the internal zoom system in order not to have negative consequences at the points of impact subjected to severe recoil from vibrations, deriving from transport, for example transport. Many lens manufacturers, on the other hand, simply use a spring in this case. The specific quadrangular seals are mounted in some points to provide a double guarantee against fogging. Burris has chosen to use quadrangular seals with four locking points, instead of only two locking points.
Burris riflescopes are tested to withstand the extreme force of 70 G, which is 60 times the force that a Saturn V rocket needs in the phase of maximum power.
Each Burris scope is filled with nitrogen, which is then aspirated. This procedure is repeated 24 times to obtain the absolute absence of humidity inside the telescope. At the end of this procedure, a final laboratory nitrogen gradient is left inside each telescope. In addition, the lenses are multi-coated, a procedure which results in the best light transmission across the spectrum. Each coating of each lens is 1 nanometer thick, resulting in a noticeable reduction in reflections and greater light transmission.
We come now to FastFire II. With this fast-aiming optics there is no need to align and focus on three widely separated elements - front view, rear view and target.
Simply place the red dot on the target and pull the trigger. With a weight of only 51g, the FastFire II will not suffer any damage even when using magnum calibers and can safely be used in the most adverse weather conditions. It works with a CR2032 lithium battery, which lasts about 5 years. The technical characteristics of the FastFireII are the following: 100% waterproof, possibility of aiming with both eyes, electronic brightness control, pointer sub voltage of 4 MOA (5,8 cm at 50 m), total and unlimited field of view thanks to the 1x magnification and automatic shutdown when the protective cover is inserted.
With the FastFire II you will aim the target very quickly and you will not waste a single shot, because the prey has never been so easy to frame.
