I can't decide between this optic (which is considerably less expensive) and the Burris Fasfire II to put on my Beretta CX4 Storm.

Thanks for your opinions.

My thoughts are if it's not Trijicon, Aimpoint or Eotech then it's a waste of money rather than a bargain.

Isn't the Burris made by one of them?

No, the Bushnell is an Eotec in a plastic housing though.

Truglo?
See this about that.

RC .... your links all seem to be about a 2x tube type red dot. I am wondering if the quality issues from that particular RD from TruGlo transfer to all TruGlo products such as the one I am asking about?

I don't know.
But if even half the poor customer service and "blow-you-off" warrentee claim BS are true I have heard about the 2x?
I don't intend to find out with my money.

Of the 7 customer reviews on Midway, 5 were happy, and 2 were not so happy.

I guess you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I wouldn't buy that if I was you.

If you need a cheap dot...well, take a look at the Bushnell Trophy MP. That's the cheapest I'd go.

You've purchased a solid rifle, now how about giving it the solid optics it deserves?

Use irons in the meantime while you save up some money for a quality optic. I see lightly used Eotechs go for around the $300 mark frequently, for example.
