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

“The Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm is a bargain priced red dot sight that will not break the bank and will provide years of service as a tactical optic.”

The Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm (tilted front lens) is a red dot sight that uses a refracted LED against a tilted lens to create the red dot reticle. This scope may not feel as rugged as an Aimpoint or EO Tech, but unless you are a SWAT officer, Navy SEAL or Recon Marine, it will serve you well on the range, in the field or even in a home defense situation. The one piece mount is strong and consistent enough to retain zero when removed for storage purposes or to place on another firearm.

Build Quality:

The TRS-25 has a very solid feel in the hand and weighs 3.7 ounces. The LED is glued to the inside of the tube and does not give a perfect 360 degree field of view.

Build Quality

It can be had in a matte black coating that matches the finish on most tactical firearms or in Real tree camouflage for hunting purposes.

Reticle – Red dot

Bushnell’s red dot is generated by using a tilted lens within the body of the scope to make for a sturdy reflex type sight.

Inside view

It has 11 illumination settings, but the brightest of these can be too intense in most settings. The size of the dot is listed as 3 MOA by the manufacturer.

Glass Quality

The glass used in the TRS-25 is consistent with the quality of lenses that Bushnell uses in most of its optics. They are multi-coated with a proprietary Amber Bright coating to protect the lenses and reduce glare.

Fantastic quality

Magnification

The Bushnell TRS-25 offers no magnification, but offers unlimited eye relief. This is a fixed power red dot made for quick target acquisition.

Pros

The best part of this scope is the price. It is inexpensive enough that you will not worry too much if it is damaged or even broken.
The scope quickly and easily mounts to rifles, carbines, shotguns and handguns that are crowned with a Picatinny rail.
The 2.4” overall length keeps it compact enough for use on just about anything, including a handgun.
It worked extremely well on several firearms against a target with 2” spinners.
Looks great

Cons

The only real issue I took with the TRS-25 was the tilted lens restricting the field of view. This is the only reason why I would not put it in the class of the more expensive EO Techs and Aimpoint scopes. Losing the crispness of the dot on settings above 7 was a minor annoyance, but for the price, it is something you can live with.

Last Thoughts

Do not expect the quality of a $500-$700 scope in a sub $200 package.
