Thanks. When I put the battery in and replaced the cover it appears that the cover does not fit as flush as it did without battery. I'll open it back up and put a little blue Loctite on the threads.

Received my FastFire 3 on Saturday. Didn't get opportunity to mount and take it to the range though.

Wow..thanks! That is encouraging then, I wondered if you have seen a shipped date.

Woohoo! Hopefully mine isn't far behind. The rebate center received and validated my paperwork 1/6.

I put it on one of my ARs and the eye relief is not a problem. I would like to sight it in tomorrow, but it looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate. It is recommended to sight it in for 100 yds so the "drop compensation" feature will be on out to 600 yds. The brochure states it works for "popular 5.56 and 7.62 cartridges." I seriously doubt that's true since the bullet weights range from 55gr to 168gr. Combine a wide spectrum of bullet weights with velocity differences and I don't expect anything as linear as marked on the reticle.

I'll give a field report when I finally get to shoot it. I need to find batteries for my Aimpoint Comp ML that I haven't shot in years. I'd like to compare them out to 300 yds.

Chas.

Charles - did you ever get the AR-322 out to the range for sight in?

Update: I checked the website this weekend and it shows my rebate forms as having been received and approved...on Jan 6th. The FastFire3 has not been shipped according to the website.

Why do I find this questionable...?

Oh right.

What was I thinking, the internet is a slow as snail mail, right...?

Well, it did go to the promotion handler via snail mail, and it was the holidays, and then you have actual humans who must open each envelop, decide whether or not it should be entered into the system and then actually do the work. Then, as we LTC holders know, someone must update the website!

No, but I'm not surprised. I expect a 4 week minimum from valid submission, more likely 6-7. Logging in to check ( http://www.rebateinquiryonline.com/ ), it shows mine received 12-23.

I checked that and it shows no records

The first time I checked I entered by home phone instead of my cell phone. I got the information when I used the correct phone number. I wasn't sure about the dealer either, but I guessed right.

Chas.

I ended up calling the number, lady I talked to said usually takes 4 weeks for it to show up in the system. I'll try again next week, don't remember exactly when I mailed it off.

The AR-332 I purchased arrived on Friday and I took it to the range mounted on my S&W MP 15 Sport 2.
Even though the instructions said to sight in at 100 yards, I started on the 25 yard range and adjusted the sight.
Moved to the 100 yard range, set up and about ready to shoot and noticed the sight had loosed considerable from the rail, didn't notice this on the 25yard range so not sure if it jarred loose while walking from 25 to 100 yard range. Tightened the thumb screws as tight as I could by hand and proceeded to shoot at 100 yards.
I had walked out of the house without my spotting scope, so was having a hard time seeing where I was hitting the target, but I could tell that it was way off from the 25 yard settings, appeared to be shooting very high. Became very frustrating because I wasn't able to determine where rounds were hitting, so decided to cut short the sight in.

I had a conversation with gentleman shooting next to me, retired Army drill sergeant and rifle instructor. He asked what ammo I was using (Federal Lake City 55gr 5.56) and said that I should be using a higher quality round for sighting in purposes. What he said made sense, but thought I'd bring it up here for input.

Range day wasn't total waste - shot my new Ruger 10/22 Takedown for first time, shot my S&W Victory .22 pistol and ran through a box of 9mm with my Shield.

Chas.

Repeat after me.....slippery slope!

I think WalMart owns Jet.com. I should have checked Walmart first.

Chas.

I don't think it matters...although I bought it on Walmart.com it's coming from a 3rd party seller.

And you're right..WalMart purchased Jet.com in August of this year to better compete against Amazon.
