Bushnell Trophy Red Dot

[BigGameHunter]

I just purchased a 1x32 Red/Green Dot Bushnell Trophy Scope. I have to say after trying it out in the store I was very impressed. I tried 4 out and this one had the clearest reticle which was the T style with a center dot (not multiple reticles like other ones). It was 199 which for how good it seemed to work reasonable. I know there are those vortex ones around the same price but I think this will work well. The other reddot bushness one that was smaller was 130 but it was a little blurry as well as the micro one. The guy said it is bushnells copy of an EOTECH or Aimpoint (can't remember one of the high end ones) which it sort of looks like. The dot is very fine, the finest I have seen on a sub 500 dollar red dot. Anyways anyone else try these out? I have to put it away til christmas so after then I will let you know how she works. I have seen them online for around 150 so with shipping and tax it was about the same.

It is actually pretty sturdy and well build here is a pic

I have one of these, used to have it on my 858, but I found to weight to be a little much. I have to admit though I love the reticle, super easy to stay on target and very, very clear. I think I'm going to put mine on a tac shotgun build where looking cool is the goal and weight... not so much.

I ran one for a while on an RRA AR15 16". Nice little optic, decent vale. Clear T dot reticle. Never had any trouble with it.

Heavy and large for an optic which doesn't have any magnification. But hey, it looks like an ACOG!

I have one on my AR and love it. Really nice feature is the back up iron sights on top. The only annoynig thing is the lens covers barely ever stay on... pretty menial complaint, which proves it's a great optic!

Have fun

I like mine.

would you say they compare with those vortex or other ones in the 200 dollar price range? So far I am very impressed with it. I really like how the dot in the T reticle is very fine probably around 1 moa where the others are usually 4 or 5

I don't know about that. Mine pretty well covers a 6" gong at 100 yards.

I've had a problem with the battery cover threading (but rigged a solution)...I find the reticle seems to "wander" about with my eye movements...I do like the ACOG look but I think the Vortec Sparc is a better product (I also have it and no issues at all).

i had one on my AR.. i had to take it off because it was attached to my non-removable carry handle on my older colt upper..

i found it to be to high.. at least 4.5 inches above the bore..

i think its a very good optic.. the dot is fine enough for shooting our 10" gong at 300 yds.. i also like the green/red feature.

i'm going to keep it and put it on my norinco M-4rgery that i plan on buying soon.

For the price, its a really good sight for a flat top upper.

I have one mounted on a shotgun. A bit big for the purpose but I like it.

Many people return them because them reticles are fuzzy or doubled. But that's because they focus on the reticle. Try looking at the target and you'll be surprised how sharp and clear the reticle is.

this is great input guys as I am interested in getting one too.

I put one on one of my SKS's.
Top heavy and throws the balance of the rifle off, but fun to use none the less.

How much is that rail for the sks? That is a very nice looking SKS.

One question I have. I compared this Bushnell scope when I bought it with ones ranging from 100-300 and it had the clearest and nicest reticle with the really fine dot. What question I have is what is the difference besides magnification between this and the ACOG scope that shares its form factor as they look the same however one is 10x as much money. Is the glass really that much nicer on the ACOG as well as the tritium. Also can you use a magnifyer that you could use on one of these scopes on this Bushnell? Thanks

Invalid Zero : Is that attached right on the flattop rail or do you have a riser on the scope? That is a Nork right? I have the same rifle and was wondering your config. I have to wait til Christmas to mount it but I do have a riser so its not a big deal just wondering if you use one. Also do you Co-Witness with the front sight or does it sit above? Thanks as this would be nice to know.
