Bushnell TRS-25

[Guy A]

FYI: I am currently testing the battery life on my TRS-25 red dot sight. It has been "On" in brightness level 4 since 8/24, with no loss of intensity!

This little sight has become very popular, and deservedly so. Its performance is excellent, and its price is right.

As soon as it happens, I will post the battery's time of death.

Awesome, I just got one of these for my sons 20ga slug gun he uses for deer season. Sighted it in on some discounted pumpkins over the weekend. He loves it.

A awesome sight, on about everything i own and has worked perfectly on all just like the price.

I agree...awesome sight! Been on my 15-22 for almost a year and works great?

This thread got me thinking about the battery life on my Primary Arms micro dot. So I did the math and it should last 41 days straight while being on. I'm not going to do that, but it gives me some relief for those days I forget to turn it off.

Anyway, keep us posted on how long yours lasts.

I have had a TRS-25 for year now. It has held zero, has great battery life, and thus far durable. Anyone use a magnifier with it? I have been thinking of getting one.

UPDATE

FYI: I am currently testing the battery life on my TRS-25 red dot sight. It has been "On" in brightness level 4 since 8/24....etc....

Still going strong. Red dot appears as bright and sharp as it did last August! Will update again when it dies.....

Great news, I have one on order to install on my new 15-22!

Of course I've always had great results from Bushnell products, so this isn't a big surprise.

Nice to hear I just picked one up for my new Troy Carbine 556. I knew it was a mini/micro dot but dang that thing is small while very easy to use/see. I think I read somewhere its like 3000 hour battery life. Much better than my $20 BSA red dot on the 15-22. If I leave that sucker on for a day or two its dead. I will say the BSA has been a great little red dot for the money and has held zero no problem.

Love mine!

Just ordered mine today. Looking forward to seeing what it can do!
What kind of mounts did you guys use?

What kind of mounts did you guys use?

I use a 1" UTG 3-slot riser for full witness with my MagPul front. I swap it out with a scope occasionally, and the UTG/TRS holds zero very well.

Love mine, I got a combo deal at Primary Arms. TRS25 and UTG mid or high mount for 79 shipped.

The UTG mount is decent. I went with the 1/3 cowitness:

Amazon.com: UTG High Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots: Sports & Outdoors

10 bucks.

I use this now instead of my primary arms m4 clone because everytime i took off the m4 and replaced it the POI would change.

I'm debating whether to get a TRS25 or a Vortex SPARC for my Mossberg 930. I know that the TRS25 is less than half the price of the SPARC, but I have been so impressed by Vortex that it's hard not to give them the business. Then again, for the price of the SPARC, I can get the TRS25, a Nordic +2 extension and the extension clamp or the ETA safety. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

 

[shawnfergie]

I think you would be happy with either.

Update on battery life

On almost 6 months, and the red dot is still clear and bright.

 

[Hollywood22]

Wow... This is amazing.

 

[Maddmax]

That isn't the one with the auto shut off after sitting for so many hours is it ? Then comes back on when moved ? I've "heard" some come back on,some stay off. ...Just wondering.

 

[ronpurdy]

Thanks for the update! I put one on my 15-22 a while ago and really like it. First time I've used one of these type sights.

 

[Scopes]

Thanks for the report. I'm still debating this or a scope, but the price/quality ratio seems to be excellent.
