Reddit mentions of Bushnell Optics TRS-25 Hirise 1x25mm Red Dot Riflescope with Riser Block, Matte Black

That's technically a different one without the high mount. But I'll price match that, and ship it.

Edit: Amazon is selling the one we're selling for $137.70... Which is more than our price.

Honestly I would upgrade your red dot. For pretty cheap, you can get a bushnell TRS-25 with a riser (Like $60-$100) and those are really awesome for the money. Other than that, I am fond of the Magpul stuff for furniture, but there is a lot of good stuff out there. Any ideas of what you might want? Here’s a link to the red dot if you care:

Lots of Keymod accessories from all the retailers, such as here: https://www.aimsurplus.com/catalog.aspx?groupid=6104 Your handguard has keymod slots at multiple angles, so you can be creative.

In terms of optics, for a red dot optic Vortex makes some affordable ones (as mentioned previously) and they have a great warranty. Their Strikefire 2 is pretty popular: https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-vortex-strikefire-ii-red-dot-4-moa.html

As is their more compact Sparc AR: https://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-sparc-ar-red-dot-sight.html

An even more affordable decent red dot is the Bushnell TRS-25 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABP8YCA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A7JHWRZ8JNPD6&psc=1

For a magnified scope, there are the usual players such as Leupold, Nikon, Bushnell, Vortex, etc. Just depending on how much you want to spend and at what range you imagine shooting at. Take a look at the Vortex Strike Eagle or the Vortext Spit Fire for a magnified red dot.

There are also "combat" oriented ones, such as the EOTech or Trijicon ACOG, but they get pricey.

FYI Optics Planet has a HURRY75 $10 off $75 coupon going right now, until tomorrow.

TRS-25 if you can put up $10 more

Do not get that 416. It's garbage. Instead, I'd recommend an Apex Fast Attack, Specna Arms, or CYMA AK. Maple Armouries, ICS, or Classic Army if you can raise your budget a bit.

Skip out on the pistol and all the stuff for it. The $60 would be better spent elsewhere.

One Tigris mask is much more comfortable

Pyramex I-force are good cheap goggles. You can also find ESS NVGs or Revision Desert Locusts on Ebay for pretty cheap.


Don't get a helmet. Like the pistol, the money is better spent elsewhere. A hat is fine and imo better.

I'd recommend a 2 point quick adjust sling. The LBX 2-point is pretty cheap and good.

For knee pads, I'd recommend Arc'teryx if you can afford them. If you want something cheaper, Hatch x-taks are decent.

I'd skip out on the red dot if you can't afford at least a fieldsport, preferably a bushnell.

Don't get a laser

Bushnell TRS-25 with a riser. https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Optics-TRS-25-HiRise-Riflescope/dp/B00ABP8YCA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466207519&sr=8-2&keywords=Bushnell+trs-25

Get this one it will cowitness with your iron sights. If you want lower 1/3 co witness you need the other sight with a different riser. theres actually a Q/A mentions the Ruger 556

TRS-25 for $50. You'll want to buy a riser for it, but if you aren't picky they can easily be found for $20 or less. or get the high-rise version for $88.

I got one when they were more expensive. It holds zero and is a nice little red dot. If you wanna go over more recent reviews, here is the link.

I would pass on that. For an extra 120 you can get a much nicer rifle. Buy that plus a cheap red dot like the trs25or iron sights and you be set with a sweet mid grade rifle. His rifle looks pretty stock aside from the cheap looking handguard and possibly an "enhanced" trigger.

I know Palmetto state has been getting a lot of hate lately from the internet for slow shipping speeds but if you aren't in a rush they still seem to have the lowest prices around.

PSA BLEMISHED SAFE/FIRE LOWER - $50


PSA 16" CHF MID-LENGTH RIFLE KIT - $519

Pick a rear sight and that is a complete mid-tier rifle right there with room in your budget still for a budget optic like the Bushnell TRS-25 or a Primary Arms micro dot

Edit: Another option, if you don't want to assemble your own lower (no reason not to, it's pretty fun really)

PSA AR-15 COMPLETE B5 SOPMOD BRAVO LOWER - $199

PSA 16" MID-LENGTH 5.56 NATO 1/7 PREMIUM UPPER - $269

PALMETTO STATE ARMORY 5.56 FULL AUTO NICKEL BORON BCG WITH CHARGING HANDLE - $119

Lots of people like the Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot, but I personally don't have any experience with it. Vortex makes some great red dots for under $200, and so does Holosun. You can also check out Primary Arms, as they make some of their own brand optics.

Even a simple lateral move would be so much better.
Take the Bushnell trs-25.

It's $56 every day on Amazon, and comes down to $43 from time to time.

There are two different models,

They are considered the minimum viable for reliable, durable, and cheap, plus sport an ultra long battery life.

If you're planning on spending more than $150 just save your money and save up for a premium optic like an Aimpoint, EOTech, Leupold, or Trijicon. If you're looking in the 100-150 range, Holosun makes a great solar/battery powered red dot that holds zero well and has a 30-50k hour battery life(when it's actually in battery mode). If you're looking for a more traditional optic, Bushnell and Nikon have good 1-4x optics. If you're looking for more magnification a Leupold
is within your reach. Vortex has strong offerings in both red dots and traditional optics if you're willing to spend a just bit more. If you're looking in the 50-150 range I'd look into a TRS-25 or Primary Arms for a red dot. For a traditional scope i'd stick with a fixed power optic like this Bushnell, you're going to be hard pressed to find a decent magnified optic with good glass in this price range, fixed power scopes are simpler in construction and offer at least better durability but i'd consider sticking to a non magnified optic under the $100 range. If you're trying to spend even less than $50 there is apparently a very well made $20 Fieldsport which is worth a search on youtube. I wouldn't consider anything magnified under $50 but this is a good range for a cool carry handle with elevation adjustment and retro look. Shooting irons can be more fun than using optics sometimes.

Palmetto State Armory is your friend. $400 you can have a functional rifle. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-midlength-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-moe-ept-rifle-kit-rear-mbus-516444983.html

As far as optics go, you have some options. I really like Primary Arms and Vortex. The PA 1-6x ACSS goes for $289 and is a fantastic scope for the money.

If you want a fixed 3x scope like an ACOG, PA also has you there. Primary Arms 3X Compact Rifle Scope - ACSS 7.62 X 39 / 300 BO Reticle PAC3X300BO https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQ45FBT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2gCLAbRR8T49Z

As before, the Scorpion EVO3A1's a truly epic gun; you should definitely read the website ASG put together for it which explains what's so special about it. I put together a quick list for a friend who was thinking about getting one a while back; here's what was on it:

Status | Product | Cost | Comment
---|---|----|----
Mandatory | ASG CZ Scorpion EVO3A1 | $400 | Perfectly suited for both CQB and field play, this is one of the best AEGs in the world at present.
Optional | ASG Speed Trigger | $30 | Some don't like the plastic trigger supplied with the gun. This CNC-machined-from-billet alternative is tougher and has a shorter pull.
Optional | ASG Steel Spring Guide | $20 | The gun now comes with a steel spring-guide as standard,
Optional | ASG Mainspring (M90/M120) | $15 | ASG offer two strengths of spring for the EVO3A1. One (likely M120, equating to ~400FPS) will be supplied with the gun; you may want to buy the other (M95, equating to ~330FPS) so you're able to play at most common site limits. The spring can be changed in a few seconds with just an Allen key. The EVO3A1 is also compatible with regular AEG springs as long as they are not shorter than the factory ones (this can cause premature engagement).
Mandatory | ASG 75rd Midcap Magazine (x3) | $60 | Three plus the one supplied with the gun for a combat load of four. If you want, you can pick up another three for a total of seven.
Mandatory | Turnigy Nano-Tech 11.1V (3S) 25~50C LiPo Battery (x3) | TBA | The gun has a built-in FCU with MOSFETs, and is designed (and should be) to run on 11.1V LiPo batteries. Although ASG make a slightly larger battery they're more than twice the price and have an inferior Coulomb rating. You'll only need two batteries for a day's play, but for $11 each you may as well pick up a spare.
Mandatory | Turnigy E3 Compact 2S/3S LiPo Balance Charger | $13 | This is a simple balance charger. It won't do clever things like charge to storage voltage, or fast-charge, or discharge, and it will only charge 2S/3S LiPos - but it is very cheap and simple to operate.
Mandatory | Turnigy DLUX LiPo Balancer/Tester | $12 | This balances the individual cells of the battery (preventing one from dropping below the 3.0V minimum) and will tell you the remaining capacity of the entire battery and the voltages of the individual cells (likewise).
| Total: | $553 |

I also included a short list of accessories for how I would personally accessorise the gun - this isn't necessarily the best way to do it and your choices are very much up to you:

Status | Product | Cost | Comment
---|---|----|----
Optional | Xcortech X3300W Advanced BB Control System | $125 | A truly amazing system that incorporates round counter, tracer and chronograph functionality. It will tell you how many rounds are left in the magazine, which is especially useful with the Scorpion's relatively low-capacity mid-caps. Watch it in action here.
Optional | ASG 18-14mm Thread Adapter | $17 | Required to fit most airsoft suppressors (including the X3300W) to the EVO3A1.
Optional | Bushnell TRS-25 | $75 | The best budget red-dot scope on the market and very well-suited to the compact EVO3A1. The TRS-25 Hi-Rise ($90) comes with a tall mount (there are better-looking options available) which will allow you to get a good sight picture even with a poor cheek weld owing to lower-face protection, and will also allow you to mount the X3300W's command/display unit on the top rail without obscuring the sight picture.
Optional | Element M300AA | $40 | A clone of the SureFire M300 Mini Scout Light, modified to use AA (rather than CR123A) batteries.
Optional | Element Tape Switch | $20 | A clone of the SureFire SR-07 rail-mounted tape switch - lets you put the switch where your thumb is, on the other side of the gun to the flashlight.
Optional | MagPul Rail Light Mount (Right) | $30 | Mounts the flashlight up and out of your way, and fits in with the XTMs. Minus the crappy optic, substituting the crap flashlight for the M300AA, and plus the X3300W and rail panels it would look a bit like this.
Optional | MagPul XTM Enhanced Rail Panels | $8 | Protects the rails and makes the gun more comfortable to hold.
Optional | MagPul XTM Hand Stop Kit | $20 | Protects the rails and makes the gun more comfortable to hold.
Optional | ASG Scorpion EVO3A1 Soft Carry Case | $40 | Usually neglected by airsofters, and usually to their cost, this is suitable for travel and storage.

You'd need to add 4x AAA batteries (for the tracer/chronograph unit), 3x AA batteries (for the command/display unit and for the flashlight), polycarbonate lens protectors for the flashlight and the RDS, and you'd be done.

Could get a Bushnell TRS 25, I own one and its very good.
Its pretty small but can go very bright, the battery also lasts insanely long. I recently discovered Taofledermaus on youtube uses one on their guns.

https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Optics-TRS-25-Hirise-Riflescope/dp/B00ABP8YCA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503106898&sr=8-3&keywords=trs+25

Very nice, except your optic is airsoft poop and needs replacing, your BUIS are poop (and the rear is backwards) and your front needs to be made for a lower gas block as the gas block on the DPMS is not in-line with the upper receiver rail.

However, barring that, I like the look you're going for. I'd recommend the Bushnell TRS-25 since it's widely accepted to be a good budget red dot and should look similar to what you have now, except able to properly co-witness with your BUIS. As for BUIS, make sure to find something that specifies it is for shorter gas blocks. If it doesn't say it is, then it isn't.
Happy shooting!

Those are Bushnell TRS-25s on a UTG medium riser. But it looks like this one on Amazon already comes with a medium riser.

Amazon has it: http://www.amazon.ca/Bushnell-Optics-TRS-25-Hirise-Riflescope/dp/B00ABP8YCA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420235531&sr=8-2&keywords=Bushnell-trs25

If you want an unmagnified optic, like a red dot, and have an astigmatism, you may wanna take a look at prism optics such as this vortex spitfire

I'm sure you can find it cheaper elsewhere, but it's a 1x optic with an etched reticle, as opposed to the projected red dot sights. I have an astigmatism and I just deal with the little bit of starburst on standard red dots, but the prism optic above may be a good choice for you.

If you want to test out a cheap red dot option to see if it's okay for you, I'd recommend the Bushnell trs-25 as it's one of the better low-cost red dots. And if you don't like it, just return it.

What is the significance of a riser? Also what is the difference between this and this other than the price difference. and lastly would it be possible to buy the original mount and grab this riser?
