I have a Bushnell TR25, and it is just OK, not my favorite. Are the TurGlo and UTG ones any good? Looking for a budget one for .22 plinking, saving for a better one for my AR. Thanks.
This is the next rung on the ladder, yeah.Try a Holosun/primary arms.
I remember my first red dot... it was this super-cheap AIM Sports dot that didn't even have clicks for adjustment. Needless to say, I eventually discovered it was horrible and tossed it in the trash because selling it to someone seemed extremely unethical.Meanwhile all over the internet , as we speak , dozens of dissatisfied users of TruGlo's and UTG's are being advised to move up to a TR25 .
Try a Holosun/primary arms.
The price differential between a C-More/Ultradot and a Holosun/PA has shrunk pretty far at this point... if you ever think you're gonna need the former, I'd just buy it up front.One I recommend is the TruGlo Dual Color Red/Green red dot optic. I used one early before buying a lot of C-Mores and I still use it on my rimfire competition 15-22. But I have to say that because its an open red dot sight its real advantage is only for speed shooting as I like the multiple reticle patterns and the fact that it can do green which is somewhat better than red in bright sunlight. For most of everything else the TR25, Holosun, and Primary Arms sights would be fine unless you need the very best for competition like a C-More or an Ultradot.
+1I'll second the vote for TR-25. I actually like the thing and I bought a pair a while ago on sale and one sits on my Ruger 10/22.
My understanding is that some of the older Tasco red dots were made in Japan, albeit this is back when "made in Japan" didn't have the same cachet it has now. Still, the moral of the story remains: there are some older scopes out there that are very high quality and going for relatively bargain prices because people simply don't know the full story behind the brand and model line.I have an old Tasco ProPoint 44mm with the most defined dot I have seen in a sight. It subtends about 6 moa. A small 22 gets bulky with it. I have a TR-25 on both 22's carbines I use for gaming or plinking since the smaller sight keeps them lithe and agile.
I run one on a 9mm SMG... no problems. Pretty amazing for an optic that's as cheap as the TRS-25 is.I have a TR-25 on both 22's carbines I use for gaming or plinking since the smaller sight keeps them lithe and agile.
