I also read there is a red dot that has a solar cell that keeps it going too.Not on mine,but was in my directions.
UPDATE: going on 8 months, and the TRS25 dot is still as bright as in August when I turned it on.
To the sceptics up in here, there is no auto shut-off, no solar cell, and yes, I did peel off the little clear sticker with a red dot printed on it.
This thing is amazing!

Hi. I have the SPARC on my M&P 15, and the TRS25 on the 15-22. I think I actually prefer the TRS25. The dot is smaller and keeps its dot shape. On the sparc, the dot looks like a ding in the windshield after a hundred rounds at the range.
The SPARC also has a power button in an exposed spot, so I had to cut the foam out of my rifle case to keep it from pressing it on. Then it has little wires connecting all of the sight adjustment and battery housings, and they are annoying (I think I am going to try to just cut them off)
The TRS25 for half the price is a tidier package.

Anybody been able to self repair these cutting out from .22LR recoil? I've had one living on my 22/45 for a few months and the dot has been either dropping to almost nothing or completely disappearing at least 5-6 times per range trip since day one.
A really light tap on the side of the optic seems to bring it back to life so I've been assuming it's just a battery contact thing but no amount of futzing w/ the spring or cap tension has seemed to fix it so far. I would really like to avoid having to ship it to Bushnell if possible.
I would agree that when it's working, it's a really nice RDS for the money.

Thanks for the update, Guy. Wow, eight months and still going strong. And I was worried when I left mine on overnight!

That is pretty amazing! I remember a guy that deer hunts with us had a red dot on his slug gun, he paid about $350 for it if I remember correctly. He was always replacing batteries. If he left it on all day it would be dead...
I love mine and have never had any issue with it cutting out. First set of batteries and from the sounds of it, the battery will go bad before it is run out of power.

You need to ship it back. It has a loose contact inside beyond the battery. They should fix or replace it.

Yeah, no luck unfortunately.
I'll go ahead and get w/ Bushnell tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.

If you turned it on on 8/24/12, then isn't it only 6 months thus far??

I have been thinking of getting one. Can you post pictures of the red dot?? Thanks.

You are correct, sir! I'm not good at math
No worries. I was heavily connsidering this red dot, and your testing has pretty much convinced me to get one for my 15-22. Thanx.

have one on my Ruger 10/22 -- great addition, ordered another one for the M&P
Here's a review which includes photos of the dot. The lens flare on 7 and 11 power is a non-problem, since 4 or 5 power is plenty bright even in direct sunlight.

I shot mine with the Bushy on it this today, very bright sunshine and snow covered background and had it on 5 and it was plenty bright. I actually went with the Bushy because of the 3 MOA dot instead of the massive 6 that a lot of them have.
In the description they state that the battery can last up to 3000 hours which is incredible, but only about 4 months. So your test is blowing that out of the water.

I ended up getting the Bushnell "1x 28mm Multi-Reticle" instead of the TRS 25. Hopefully I get half the battery life you're getting. Thanks for the testing! We should all chip in to get you a new CR2032 battery or two when this is done.
