Cleaning Scopes and burris fasfire

Got a few spots n oil stains on some scopes. What do you guys use to clean them? Anything more than lens wipes? Any kind of liquid you can flush the surface?

Also, anybody have experience with brris fastfire red dots? Put one on a marlin 22 and a sks for my wife. Used to have eotech's. They live an ok life? Any quality 1632 batteries for it?

Haven't shot the SKS yet, but the marlin 22 seems a little sloppy for squirrel hunting purposes. But, larger game, accuracy seems good enough. Could be the gun, never used it before. Had it about 10 years, but took forever to clean it up and put it together. Had a broken stock.
 
I have a burris fast fire on a mkiii, no complaints other than its kinda big.

Every optic I put on a SKS died a quick death, but it was the 1980s, I had no tools or skills, and used only the cheapest optics. I do think the forward recoil of the bolt slamming shut is hard on cheap optics, and even expensive ones. This is the reason spring air rifles require sort of special optics.
