Description
The Bushnell TRS-25 is a compact red dot built for shooters who want a reliable, no-frills optic on a carbine, shotgun, or rimfire rifle without spending serious money on a dedicated precision setup. It sits in the Trophy line, which reflects Bushnell’s intent to offer a durable, field-ready sight at an accessible price point rather than a range-only novelty.
The 3 MOA dot is small enough to avoid covering significant target area at distance while still being easy to pick up quickly in close quarters — a practical middle ground between the large dots optimized purely for speed and the sub-2 MOA dots that demand more deliberate focus. Running at 1x, there is no magnification to manage, which means both eyes can stay open naturally and the sight picture stays consistent regardless of cheek weld or head position.
The housing is nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed, so internal fogging from temperature swings or humidity is not a concern, and the optic can handle rain and submersion without losing function. Eleven brightness settings let you dial the dot intensity down for low-light use — where an over-bright dot blooms and obscures the target — or up for shooting in direct sunlight where a dim dot disappears. Battery life is rated at over 5,000 hours on a CR2032, which is a common, inexpensive cell. Adjustment range spans over 70 MOA, giving you enough travel to mount this sight on platforms with moderate base height differences without running out of windage or elevation. The mount is Picatinny-compatible, and the minimum parallax distance is 50 yards.
