[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2949395, member: 5412"] I have the Bushnell Trophy tube type on my Competition Ruger Mark III Hunter with the multiple reticles that are selectable and a choice of green or red. I saw all the guys using the C-more sights, and thought I'd try the Burris Fast Fire III. With the adapter for the rear sight dove tail, I was out $300. First match out with it, was a disaster. The grip I was normally used to didn't work with the Burris. I had to take an unnatural grip as the muzzle seemed to always be pointing down, and I couldn't ever find the dot after the first shot. Finally found out that I had to grip the gun with the death grip and slow down movement to keep the dot in the reticle. In a sport like steel challenge, a couple tenths of a second can mean the difference in 1st and 5th or worse. To give it a chance, I shot close to a thousand rounds of .22 at our range trying to get used to it. Went from the top of the leaderboard to the bottom in scores. I put the Bushnell back on last Wednesday, shooting steel at the OKC Gun Club and moved back to the top. There is a difference in red dots. If your going to use it at aimed shots with 2 second intervals, just about any red dot is going to work. If you need it for really fast work, you might have to go through some to find one that works for you and your pistol. [/QUOTE]
