Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm (tilted front lens)

If you're looking for a red dot sight on a budget then you found quite possibly the best sight on the market for such an instance! I've owned the Vortex Strikefire at nearly twice the price and this thing hits it out of the park in quality, weight, brightness, and size! I've put my Bushnell on my Ruger 10/22 and an AR (you'll need a 1 inch riser for an AR) and it has performed great. After about 500 rounds of 22LR and 100 rounds of 5.56, the dot has stayed zeroed and tight on the rail. Brightness level of 5 or 6 is all you really need on a bright day. Sight comes almost perfectly zeroed to 50 feet out of the box and just take some time to sight it in at the range and you won't have to worry about it ever again. The weight and size is impressive especially attached to an AR where every ounce counts when carrying the rifle around the woods or target shooting all afternoon. The batteries are cheap and plentiful with a life of about 3000 hours on low, so you can expect 1000 on high maybe, still a good chunk of time for such a small battery. The clicks on the brightness dial are very firm and the seals are all sealed with rubber o-rings for water-proofing.My only NEGATIVE issue with this sight is two things:- The Hex screw to secure to a tactical rail is cheap and will start to strip if not careful. Not sure about replacement options.- At about the 4-5 o-clock position looking down the sight you'll see a block cutting into your view where the laser beam is omitted to bounce off the front lens. Not a terrible obstruction but annoying sometimes.I'd recommend this sight to anyone looking for a higher-quality, low priced red dot sight!

First off, the lens is SUPPOSED to be crooked!!! So many people have knocked the sight or returned it for this reason. The angled lens reflects the LED back so your eye can see it! If it was flat you wouldn't see the red dot correctly. Read the manual people, I know reading sucks, but it is helpful. First off I own 2 of these and plan to actually buy a third that is how much I like this sight. I have both of mine mounted on the UTG MAD0340 tri slot double rail angle mount on my AR-15 and the second I take to work to quickly mount to our flat top M4's. The sight with this quick detach base will co-witness with your AR15 iron sights perfectly and attaches and detaches extremely easy. The sight has stayed zero since the first time I zeroed it and being taken on and off my rifle repeatedly and shot at least 1000 rounds through it. My girlfriend can shoot out a quarter sized hole on a target at about 30 yards using the bipod no problem.The dot is a great 3 MOA size so it is small and accurate out to longer distances. Putting shots in center mass at 50 yards standing is not a problem. The dot is crisp and clear, even in bright day light I have only put the setting up to about 5 or 6 out of the 11. Remember people when you take it out of the box to look at the dot while indoors anything over like a 2 or 3 will appear blurry, take it outside to see the crispness of the dot or only look at it under a 1 or 2 setting indoors. I did return one that I ordered because the dot did seem to disappear at the 10 O'clock position or so of the lens, so when you get the sight move it around so that you can make sure the dot reaches out the edges of the lens on all sides, my 2 I have now do not have this problem so it must have been a defect in that one.There will be a small box figure in the 4 o'clock position because that is the led transmitter, a sight this small will always have something similar because it can't be hidden inside like a larger tube model. This should not effect your sight picture greatly, I don't even notice it when actually aiming. I have yet to replace the battery so I will say the battery life seems great so far, and the cr 2032 batteries are easy to come by and cheap here on Amazon. I plan on buying a 3rd sight for my Benelli Supernova shotgun after I get my weaver rail for it. At around $80 this sight is in a class all of it's own. I tried buying a couple other red dots in this price range, but returned them and went with this one. I highly recommend this sight and for the price of 3 of these for my different guns, I am still at about half the price of the cheapest Aimpoint. I love the EOtechs and Aimpoints and ACOGs, we use them at work, but they are insanely expensive, especially if you want a red dot for more than one of your guns. Everyone who has shot my AR with this sight loves it. My military friends said it reminds them of the Aimpoints they used in the service.If you want an Aimpoint, save up and buy one, they are excellent sights made in Sweden, unrivaled battery life and insane accuracy, but for a T-1, which this sight seems to be a "clone" of you are looking at over $600. If you buy one of these you will love it, just make sure to look for the little nuances I mentioned when you get it.*** Update: I purchased my 3rd one and have it mounted on my Benelli shotgun, looks great. The one I use for work is lasting very well, it gets banged around on gates, fences, goes from AC in the truck to hot and humid outside no fogging. Leave the battery on the whole shift, no problems. Only need it at a 1 setting in the dark maybe a 7-9 in full sun. I believe the 3000 hour battery life is fairly accurate if in the 5-7 power range most likely. If you leave it on all the time on a 1 or 2 setting for home defense, I dont see any problem with the battery lasting 6 months or more. Will let you know if I find anything different. Also I put a drop of blue loctite on the scope screw and also on the tension screw on the UTG mount to prevent backing out of the screws. I highly suggest doing this to yours to prevent loosening and movement.

I just received a TRS-25 Trophy red dot sight that I bought from Amazon LLC. While tightening the hex screw for the first time onto my rifle's rail, the hex screw stripped out. It was the very first time I had mounted the sight, and the screw felt like it was made out of cheese. I believe the screw must have been defective, I have never seen a screw strip so fast, certainly not a hex one.***I sent the above description to Bushnell customer service, we shall see how they reply and I will follow this review up. I have to give this sight 1 star at this point since it was essentially unusable out of the box. I don't beleive that I overtightened the screw or abused it in any way. It should not have stripped out so quickly.***

It works all right but the dot and sight picture are poor.I'm surprised Bushnell couldn't do better.The dot appears larger than 3 moa to me and has a terrible starburst effect.I guess you get what you pay for, and I guess I need to drop a lot moremoney to get something that's up to my standards.

Have 3 EO Techs, can't beat TRS-25 for its price, got 2 at the same time. Get one for each gun, as the Hex Screw Head strips easily if you transfer to another gun. Bushnell's Customer Service is Great, they immediately sent me 2 Hex Screws, when I called .

This RDS is not bad for the money at all. I put it on my AR-15 that i built myself. its an ATI upper 5.56 barrel with a cheap polymer lower and magpul furniture. i wanted something nice and tactical because i mostly have wood stock classic collectable rifles like an M1 carbine and Swiss K31. Anyways, I wanted something "tactical" but didnt want to spend a lot. This thing is good if you CANT afford an aimpoint. if you can afford an aimpoint go for it. This thing has 11 brightness settings. ive used it in snow and rain and it is definitely waterproof. This sight works well in the snow. And in low light conditions. There are two cons ive found so far, the finnish wears of slightly on the serations on the knob and also the red dot flickers every now and then on LOW settings like 1-3 sometimes 4. when its on 5+ its fine.All in all, i would recommend this to someone who wants a decent quality Mini RDS for whatever. i havent tried it on any other weapon systems so i have no idea how it would react. Also, it seems to be holding a zero just fine.
