The Burris FastFire E is cut to the Docter / Noblex footprint. To put it on a Picatinny rail you fit a Docter/Noblex-footprint Picatinny mount: the mount carries the Docter / Noblex pattern on its top and clamps the rail below, so the sight screws down to the pattern it was made for.

A mount cut for a different footprint will not take the Burris FastFire E. Match the mount to the Docter / Noblex pattern, and pick the mount height for the cowitness or heads-up hold you want on the rifle or carbine.
