[QUOTE="REN, post: 5304583, member: 4849"] there are a few good options out there on halo style sights now VS 5 years ago when the FF was the only real option. Burris does have a lifetime on it which is nice. However for any others thinking of using one, just my 2 cents on this topic after using them on 2 guns for the past 5 years in the turkey woods. This is based on me hunting a variety of terrain types and I also generally hunt every day but sunday in the month of april. I have never had a battery die on me, and thats me turning the sight on when I leave the truck in the morning and turning if off once I kill a bird OR get back to the truck. I have never had a bird spook on the reflection of the sight or anything like that. I have never had an issue seeing it in direct sun either. I have one farm I set up on that in the mornings the sun literally is in my sight path of where the turkeys fly down as it is coming up. Yes its not ideal and it does cause flare trying to see through the glass but again I have never had an issue seeing the dot, however if the glass is dirty it can and will cause some major distortion in that circumstance. Like most good hunters I generally set up in the shade given the chance or a shadow so that flare I speak of is only an issue if you are literally aiming at a bird with the sun almost directly behind it. lastly rain CAN be an issue for them but they do come with a rain guard, which I use on those days. I wont take it off till the bird is confirmed on the way. big rain drops on the lens can really cause a star bright look on the dot but again I have never had to pass on a turkey or missed on due to rain (granted I dont hunt a ton in the rain) having said all that I mount mine on a speedbead mount which allows me to still use the bead of my gun accurately incase of a failure which is also a big bonus for that type of mount. thats just all my own personal experience with using them.
