Bushnell TRS-25

Bushnell TRS25

Staying under $100, consider this.

Sorry to break it to you, but there is a lot more competition in the sup $200 micro red dot market.

• TRS-25
  
  
• Hi Lux
  
• Holosun
  
• Primary Arms - Advances
  
• Primary Arms
  
• Vortex SPARC II
  
  They are all more or less excellent. I prefer the Vortex because it has an unbeatable warranty.
  
  

So you want a light DMR or LMG? I'm not sure that exists. I mean, the whole point of an LMG is that it's big and heavy, and DMRs are generally just longer rifles.

What is your budget? the ASG Evo Scorpion would be great for her. Fantastic range to back up your sniper, but light weight and small. The only problem is, it's expensive. $400 for the gun itself.

Here is u/pure_silver's list of suggested and required parts for 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.
Mandatory | ASG Steel Spring Guide | $20 | The stock spring guide is the only weak point in the entire gun and should be replaced immediately. It can be changed in a few seconds with just an Allen key. I can't see a US retailer stocking these - contact /u/actionsportgames_bob to see if he knows someone who does.
Mandatory | ASG Mainspring (M90/M120) | $15 | The EVO3A1 uses proprietary springs. One of the two strengths they offer (likely M120, equating to ~400FPS) will be supplied with the gun; you should buy the other (M95, equating to ~330FPS) so you're able to play at common site limits. The spring can be changed in a few seconds with just an Allen key. Again, I can't see a US retailer stocking these - contact /u/actionsportgames_bob to see if he knows someone who does.
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 1300mAh 11.1V (3S) 25~50C LiPo Battery (x3)NOT RIGHT SIZE | $11 | The gun has a built-in FCU with MOSFETs, and is designed 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.


Parts that are required, including extra magazines and battery and charger, comes out to ~$520

The Bushnell TRS-25 is a good choice if you're on a budget. At only $52, it holds up great. I currently have one on my Ruger.

Bushnell TRS-25 - Amazon

Should probably mention a price range. Thats quite a long list of options. BUT if its just a .22 and you aren't looking to spend a boatload, the Bushnell TRS-25 is a great little quality red dot for the money. $50 shipped w/ amazon prime https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-tilted/dp/B00CIY7JAU

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.

DPMS Oracle for $399 (after rebate) blows this away in terms of quality and value. Throw on a $30 TRS-25 Red Dot and you're good to go.

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
---|---|----|----

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.

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.

I definitely didn't want anything magnified, just a red dot. When I said Bushnell Trophy I meant the TRS-25 not the hunting scopes lol

Bushnell Trs-25. Wait for a sale.


EDIT: https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-tilted/dp/B00CIY7JAU

I do remember hearing about a difference between TRS-25 models of a different age (or manufacture location) and being able to potentially tell the difference by the color of the lettering.

I honestly can't remember if mine has white lettering or not, but a quick GIS seems to show that it's relatively common in the sight picture.

EDIT: After knowing that I had read about it somewhere, the Amazon Listing was where I saw the info about the adhesive. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Amazon for $60. I don't know why I was thinking $50 sorry

does it need to be fancy or functional?

I suggest the TRS-25 because its about $80 and just works.

Just my .02

Magazine loader, beginners reloading kit, bushnell trs25 for his 10/22 and what I got for my birthday from my wife and I love it. She got me the upgraded wood on the Mag Packer and that thing is awesome

I use this this one. I like it a lot. It's quite popular too.

Dagger Defense is re-branded Chinese stuff. Might work well might not.

Magpul sights These can be found cheaper and keep in mind Black Friday is coming up soon.

Bushnell Red Dot Not the best but holds zero and is great for the price.

Personally I would try to score a deal on quality sights on Black Friday or Cyber Monday

Thats all well and good, but I am disagreeing with the statement "Any red/green red dot under 100$ isn't worth the money". There are certainly decent red dots under $100 and if you look around, you can find the TRS-25 for under $100. Exhibit A

would this be good for a low sight https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-tilted/dp/B00CIY7JAU

Right away everyone wants to shit talk the red dot. I used one of those cheap red dots from amazon for almost a year on my gun and it held its zero fine without a problem, so it was totally worth the money. When mine did give out on me, the dot would bounce around when i would shoot, and I bought the Bushnell red dot for like $60 which has a lifetime warranty. If your red dot takes a shit on you and you don't want to spend an arm and a leg for a sight, you could get something similar to that bushnell.

> Can be had for around $80

$75 shipped...

Here go OP: https://www.amazon.com/Savage-Rascal-Picatinny-Scope-Mount/dp/B01AAU4276/ref=pd_cp_200_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01AAU4276&pd_rd_r=S9V7KBANP5KVV11ZCFMZ&pd_rd_w=U8RYF&pd_rd_wg=8NvUI&psc=1&refRID=S9V7KBANP5KVV11ZCFMZ

Although the Atibal (trijicon knockoffs) are very good and quite small.

And of course the TRS25 is a great little dot that works well: https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-tilted/dp/B00CIY7JAU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=MC1AZD9NGV81JTH8KGQR

Congrats, excellent choice! Once you've played around with it for a bit pick up a Bushnell TRS-25 to add another level of fun.

1. Scope ring sizes matter if your optic requires scope rings, this will not.
   
2. That is an extremely bad optic, it will break or not hold zero. If you want something cheap that actually works, this is about the ground floor.
