New to the Site and must say Im impressed.
Question to you all. I'm in the finishing phases of my first AR build waiting on my upper receiver. I intented on putting a Trijicon RX30 and a 3x maginfier on it. But that is several months away. I want to start practicing shooting with a red dot system described and my budget is $250. Any help would be appropriated. Once I get the Trijicon system I will be putting the budget system on my son's 22 rifle. |

Quoted: The Bushnell TRS-25 is an excellent budget red dot and can routinely be had for under $100. Time and time again the Bushnell TRS-25 on a UTG high mount is your decent budget red dot answer for around 100 bucks. Also the TRS-25 which is a micro Aimpoint clone would be excellent for your sons .22LR.

Thank you all
Just ordered the Bushnell TRS-25 which is for my son's 22 rifle for $92 And also checked into The Vortex Co. I will be ordering the Strikefire and VMX3 Magnifier reviews are good and also several of my patrol buddies have the strikefire and love them. |

I've had mine 5 years: - two batteries - 12k+ rounds on my 74 riding on an ultimak - 3k rounds on my Spikes riding on a UTG rail - currently on my 7.62x39 AKM Holds zero and won't die. To be honest when I was looking at replacing it, I couldn't really justify paying $400 - $700 for a good rds and mount (Eotech / AP Pro / AP H1)....so I bought an ACOG. |
| I've had my TRS-25 for about a year and I'm starting to have some problems. Sometimes when shooting the dot will just up and disappear and you have to play with the brightness level to get it to stay on. It's happened a few times now and I no longer feel safe using it on my HD/everything else rig. It was a great RDS when it worked right. |
