Speaking of the standard Fastfire III vs. the Leupold 2.5 MOA dot model - has anybody had both to be able to compare the sharpness of the red dot? I’ve had a couple of Fastfire III models and if the dot is too bright it becomes more of a splat than a sharp dot. If the day is overcast or some other condition that allows you to use the medium or low brightness setting then it becomes nicely rounded and sharp.
I was wondering if the Leupold dot was the same way or whether the 2.5 MOA model has a nicely etched round dot no matter the brightness or lighting conditions?
Or, second question, they make a model with a 7.5 MOA triangle so I’m thinking that should be pretty sharp, a blurry triangle would pretty much defeat the purpose – does anyone have one of those to verify that?
The Leupold is a good bit more expensive than the Burris and has fewer mounting options but for the purpose I'm thinking of a sharp, always clearly defined reticle would be worth the extra money.
