[QUOTE="Grizzly Johnson, post: 3193234, member: 6181"] For those that didn't read throught the reference thread posted: By the Burris Optics guy: [i]The FF2 is tricky to sight in. We are aware of that which is the reason we made changes on the FF3 to eliminate that problem. The dot can shift when locking it down. If you keep it in the rest, move the dot to your pattern, and then watch the dot as you tighten the lock screws you should be able to get it sighted in without too many headaches. Not the best way but it seems to work pretty good. YMMV. The FF3 uses a clicker adjustment and no locks so there shouldn't be too many issues with sighting that one in. The drifting issue that everyone is referring to is a complete mystery to me. We've been making that sight for 4 years and this is the first I've heard of it. [b]If you have a sight that you know is drifting please let me know. I'll swap you out with a FF3 just so I can test it myself. Hell I'll even buy it back if you absolutely don't want a Burris product.
