Bushnell TRS 25

Are these reliable? good value for AR

If you don't have a "life threatening" job for your AR, they work just fine. Mine has been reliable for three years of weekend shooting.

I purchased mine before the one with the included riser was available and I've heard that the riser isn't at the best height, but then again I haven't tried it. See if the riser works for you, and if not, invest in one of the UTG risers, it's not a high stress part.

I have an Eotech for the life threatening job
I was just putting another AR together for less critical use.
Just didn't want to buy something that was not worth having

It is a quality sight for the price. I have had customers use them on everything from pistols to shotguns with no issues. I also saw a review where the shooter used it on a S&W 500. The model with the riser would work great for you new AR.

I've only had one on my AR for about a year but so far zero problems. Really couldnt ask for much better for the price.

I have owned 2 of them and they work well for civilian/recreational uses. For the price its an excellent buy.

For a while Daniel Defense included the TRS-25 on a high quality but cost effective M4gery for law enforcement, etc. I believe it hit the $1000 price point. I understand DD eventually dropped the optic not because of actual problems but a perception of the targeted buyers that it wouldn't stand up. It would be interesting to find out for sure if the optic held up in the field.

Yep, good stuff and good price.

I am happy with mine. It was on my AR22 training rifle first and then it proved to work well so I have been running it on my "real" AR for a while now and I like it a lot. For the money I think that they are hard to beat. The AR is no longer my primary means of fighting as I am no longer an 11b. My rifle stays in my safe and the likelyhood of me using it in any defensive encounter is highly unlikely. I have no issues using the TRS 25 in that capacity.
