NOTE: Published a little over 2 years ago, the Bushnell TRS-25 remains an excellent choice for an optic regardless of budget.
The Bushnell TRS-25 has been around well over a decade and countless thousands have been mounted on firearms of all makes, models, and calibers. I have one atop my personal SHTF gun. This is my go-to firearm that if I had to send rounds downrange against a band of motorcycle-riding brigands – this would be the one I’d use.
There are a lot of gearheads out there suggesting that if they spend more money than you on guns and corresponding gear, well, they stand a much better chance of surviving the inevitable fast-approaching zombie apocalypse. I would agree that quality is important and frequently the higher quality knife, firearm, optic, etc. cost more. Here’s the thing: If it works, it works. Period.
The Bushnell TRS-25 red dot works. What does it do? It superimposes a red dot onto the target when the shooter looks at the target through the optic with both eyes open. It operates the same way as many optics offered by Sig, Vortex, Primary Arms, Aimpoint, and many more but it generally costs MUCH less. The specific model I have is the AR model that comes with the hi-rise mount.
A red dot optic is not rocket science. Here are a few specs on the Bushnell:
| Color: | Black |
| Finish: | Matte |
| Magnification: | 1 x |
| Objective Lens Diameter: | 25 mm |
| Reticle: | 3 MOA |
| Illumination Type: | LED |
| Illumination Color: | Red |
| Brightness Settings: | 11 |
| Eye Relief: | Unlimited |
| Adjustment Click Value: | 0.5 in at 100 yds |

| Weight: | 6.3 oz |
| Package Type: | Box |
| Magnification Type: | Fixed |
| Overall Length: | 2.4 in |
| Objective Aperture: | 25 mm |
The Bushnell is waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof. It uses the popular CR2032 battery. I keep an extra battery taped to my stock.
Forget all the BS that equipment snobs spew and save your money. If a red dot is what you are looking for – give the Bushnell TRS-25 a look.

Gardening Growing Your Own Food Prepper Survival Preparedness USB
FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA
There are many reasons to have your own garden. Growing and eating vegetables that you grew from scratch by preparing soil, planting seeds, weeding, watering, and picking all yourself is incredibly rewarding. Money can be saved as seeds are much less expensive than the corresponding produce. Fresh produce harvested straight from the garden tastes better and is more nutritionally sound. Another benefit of having your own garden is you control what chemicals (or lack thereof) are used during the growing process.

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!
I purchased the TRS-25 about a year ago on your recommendation and it was ~$69, forgot who the vendor was, not that it matters. It is simple to set up and works great. Thanks.
I agree Ralph k. I’ve found them to be fantastic at any price.
