BushnellBushnell, Trophy Red Dot Scope, 1x28 Red/Green Dot 4 Interchangeable

Works great.

Purchased this sight from Amazon.Com at a great price. Shipping was fast too. Now to the meat of the subject, the sight. Being older and with failing eyesight, I opted to use a red dot sight. This model was one of many I studied before I bought it. Now I'm very glad I did my homework and got this model. Mounted on a Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70, this sight is both strong and compact. Something that was needed on a stout recoiling weapon. Of the four reticles available in this model, I found that the 3MOA dot within the circle to be the fastest to get on target with, and gave the best contrast of sight-to-target of all four. Was zeroed in under five minutes and then went back to 50 yds where I begin to get serious. With a known accurate handload, I was able to shoot a three shot group at that range with all three touching. I could not better that with a scope at 4X. Further, going back to 100 yds, and the same dot in the circle setup, I was still keeping the rounds within an inch of each other. Again, could not better that with a scope. By having no magnification the ability to hold on target is actually an improvement as you have no "Scope Wiggle" as you strive to keep the crosshairs on target. With a red dot, you are able to concentrate on the target and not the sight. For me, this was great. Something else too, the sight has included with it, an extention/sunshade and a polarized lens that screws into the end to aid in harsh light. The extention will help if you need a slightly longer tube in mounting on some weapons with a wider base for attacment. A nice addition. Granted, along with many others, I am not impressed with splittop rings, but that is easily fixed by getting a good quality 30mm rings of your choice. QD rings from UTG were my choice as they are strong and afforadable. So, in closing, if you want a red dot sight that will give you accurate shots consistantly, provides the right amount of light for every lighting condition, and will take the punishment of a big bore rifle and stay right on target....get this sight. This is not a toy sight for some airgun that shoot little plastic bullets,(but I'm sure it would be great for one too) but it is designed and built for serious shooting. As I said, I could not have shot better if I had put a scope on this weapon, and I have, but find this sight much better. Good Hunting

I recently decided to take a different approach to my optics on a Ruger 10/22 that I built. I switched from a heavy bull barrel and thumbhole stock to a Hogue overmolded stock and Tactical Solutions lightweight aluminum barrel. My 3-9x40 RimFire scope from Nikon was a little out of place on the smaller, lighter rifle so I began researching red dots. I currently use an UltraDot on my Ruger 22/45 pistol and I love it. I didn't have the cash for another one so I started looking for something in the sub-$100 range. This optic came up time and time again as being a solid performer with a great price to performance ratio. Please note that I am not comparing this optic directly to the UltraDot (which cost about twice as much), but I am using the UltraDot as a benchmark for my expectations of what I think a quality red dot optic should be. Upon receiving this optic, I was immediately pleased with the build quality of the optic. It has a smooth matte finish with just a slight amount of texture. The knobs are sized well for easy manipulation. The caps on the elevation and windage adjustments fit securely and the slotted controls click into place with good detents. They're slightly mushier than those on my UltraDot and also on my Nikon RimFire Scope, but for the amount of money I paid, they are definitely acceptable and create positive feedback. The rings supplied are of good quality. In my opinion, they're slightly oversized for this optic and I don't care for the left/right split rings as they make mounting and alignment a little tricky, but they're certainly usable. I've got a replacement set on order and will swap them out when they come in. This is not as much a negative as it is a preference so I don't count against Bushnell for this. The reticle selector switch and the rheostat for controlling both the color and brightness of the reticle both click firmly and have good, solid detents. The included lens shade and polarizing filter are good to have, although I didn't use either on my outing with the optic, but plan to keep at least the polarizing filter in my bag for bright days. The optic itself is clear and bright. There is no magnification, but the glass gives me a bright, glare-free picture. The red reticles showed up well on the 4 and 5 setting when out shooting on a bright, clear day. The smallest dot is the hardest to see, but it is the most precise. The next dot up shows up very well as do the crosshairs and the circle/dot reticle. While I find the smallest dot to be the most precise, I love the circle/dot reticle for plinking. It's bright and still allows some precision. The green reticles are extremely hard to see in bright daylight. Trying them out in my home, I find the green to be pleasing to the eye and less fatiguing (red tends to glare pretty badly in low light situations). If I was going to be shooting at an indoor range or maybe at dusk, I'd probably switch over to the green. Otherwise, I'll stick with the red. I found no issues with the brightness or with glare. I also found that the point of aim didn't change by much when changing reticles. I wasn't shooting from a rest for all of my shooting so I can't say for sure, but for plinking at the range and shooting tin cans, you can switch reticles at will and you'll be on target for anything larger than a quarter. I found the build quality of this optic more than adequate. I also found the operability and quality of the electronics to be of acceptable quality. At half the price of my UltraDot, it definitely has significantly more value. I would rate this optic as one with a 50% higher price point. I personally don't mind a larger optic on a pistol, but for some, it might be too large so I would recommend this for lightweight rifles or an AR-style .22 rifle. I've seen reports of people using this on .223, 5.56 and .308 rifles, but I'll be limiting my use of this optic to the .22 cartridge. I have no reason to believe this optic wouldn't hold up to the repeated abuse from a larger caliber centerfire rifle, but I won't be testing it. Bushnell claims that it will work with shotguns as well as centerfire rifles. If you're looking for a sub-$100 optic, look no further. If you think you don't need the multi-reticle optic with dual colors, you might consider the version with just the red dot. I actually didn't see that one until after I ordered this one. I'm happy regardless but you may prefer something a little more limited in function. If you're doing any all-weather or desert run-and-gun competition, I'd suggest something a little more robust. But for kicking around at the local range or the family farm, this would compliment a .22LR build nicely. Please feel free to comment with questions or concerns and I'll try and get back to you if I can.

The dot is solid, had some issues with the power shutting down after a few shots... the cap screws down fine... there must be a slight gap under the cap because the battery comes loose from the fitting inside where it sits. I put a wedge of paper under the cap to push the battery down and seat correctly, problem solved. I have other dots that have a spring underneath the cap. so should be an easy fix for Bushnell to correct. Meantime, my little wedge worked fine. The dot sighted fine and held. Not a fan of manual on/off and not shake awake, but for the money, it seems to do the job. I'll be interested to see how it performs under duress in training... still worth the money for the sight picture.

For the price, this is surprising good. Easy to zero and it has held that zero through 500 rounds and counting. A+

I was really surprised by the quality of this little optic. I mounted it up on my Stribog 9mm, did a rough zero and took it to the range for a quick 200 rounds. Pros: * Exceptional field of view * Good optical clarity * Daylight bright * Night vision settings * Auto shutoff feature * Remembers your last setting after it turns off, just bump a button to turn back on * Solid body and construction Cons: * No shake awake feature, you have to hit a button on the side after it shuts off * Cheap but serviceable mount. I will replace it, but it tightened up fine on my rail and is stable * No obvious way to screw in a kill flash * Bushnell logo and lots of white writing on the body and caps looks cheap All and all, easily worth the money. In my book, it is a better optic than any of the others near its price. If it holds up over the long haul I will be getting a couple more to replace my narrow body Holosun and Vortex dots.

1 Star isn't because the unit is bad, but because it may be unusable for many. Don't know if this is a recent change in production, but the mounting pattern isn't a match for a Glock #1 MOS plate (Docter/Vortex/Fastfire), or an RMR (Block MOS plate #2). Conflicting information in reviews and website/literature as to one of the two aforementioned, but it doesn't fit either. The registration pins in the corners are a match for a Vortex Viper, but the screw holes are in different places (see attached pic), and completely different from an RMR. Maybe this is a recent change in production, but if case someone screwed it up. Had to return as I can't use this with any mounting pattern. Edited to Add: ....I now see the issue. The Glock MOS plate #1 has two pairs of mounting holes. The ones that sit more 'forward' match the Vortex Venom and Viper, the ones more rearward will match the Bushnell. So on the factory Glock MOS plates, the Bushnell will mount. But if you have a sight cut or another mount that is intended for a Burris Fasftfire/Vortex, then the Bushnell's screw holes will not line up. For example, it looks like the adapter plates for the M&P Core that are intended for the Fastfire/Vortex only have one pair of mount holes. So beware to those who intend to buy this for a pistol. It seems that the Glock factory MOS plate #1 with two pairs of mount holes is the only one you can use this with....and with the rear mount holes I'd say that's an unwise choice by Bushnell but maybe they could only fit it that way with the battery compartment.

I got this to add to a Ruger PC, because it follows an Aimpoint mount pattern that I can use with a Midwest Industries Handguard side mount. Right now I have it on an AR9, the normal way, now and it works great. Not as good as an Sig Romeo 5 that costs $100 to $120, but at the $60 sale price I got this at, it kicks a$$. Has been shot with higher recoil on blowback AR9 than a 5.56 AR and it holds zero and co-witnesses fine with my MBUIS sights. You can trust this if you can get it on sale, but if $100 I'd recommend the Romeo 5. 2026 Update. To be fair I don’t shoot much but wanted to update with a five year review. Currently live on a Ruger 10/22 takedown in a Magpul backpacker breakdown stock. My opinion above is the same except at the current $169 (!!!! WTF I paid $60 to $70 on sale) you’d be definitely better off with a 2nd gen Romeo 5 or Holosun ARO or even a Vortex Strikefire. I know it was supposed to be sold for about $110 when I bought mine, and all other 5 year old optics tend to DROP in price. Current price gets a drop from four stars to three. Pros: It works. Holds zero on a 9mm pcc (harsher recoil than a 5.56 AR) and a 16” 22lr rifle. Hasn’t stopped working, but again lives on my stays in the trunk or at my office backpack rifle. I do have mild astigmatism and the dot is fine and at lower settings pretty crisp, and I imagine with more outside ambient light and starring I might get on brighter settings would wash out (Also I don’t really understand this complaint, this is a 2MOA dot…blur/starring bc of astigmatism would make it a 4moa dot at 100 yards…other than squirrels or chipmunks at distance that’s never going to matter. Cons: No shake awake, or light sensing adjustments (unless the internals have been upgraded). The Romeo and ARO both do shake awake auto-turn off. Buttons aren’t great for adjustments.) Pretty noticeable blue tint in the glass. The body/housing surrounding the lenses are pretty thick. The ultimate point of a dot sight is to be able to keep both eyes open and the thicker the body, the more obtrusive it is, making both eyes open shooting less pleasant/intuitive. If one is right eye dominant, the battery compartment is on the left side and MORE intrusive.

I have this sight mounted on my SKS via a choate mount(Its drilled and tapped into the receiver) and I am very impressed. It's held zero for over 300 rds. The sight itself is of very good quality considering the low purchase price. Having 4 different reticles to choose from and two different colors is great for all sorts of shooting. I will be buying another in the future that's for sure. The only thing I would add when you buy this is some 1" scope rings. I got the quick detach UTG and they work well. The ones that comes with the sight get loose very easily.

Le meilleur rapport qualité prix! Jamais déçu avec bushnell

Excellent Bushnell red dot. Exactly as expected. Bushnell is like eating at McDonald's... you know what you're going to get. Great value for money

There are several red dot scopes on the market similar in design to this Bushnell model. The version from Centerpoint (Crosman) is about half the price of the Bushnell, but the Bushnell is higher quality with superior optics. The only thing I didn't like with the Bushnell is that the reticle turret (used for switching the 'cross hair' options) has give so when turning it feels slightly loose. It comes with removable rubber lens covers via elastic band and found it cumbersome, compared to Centerpoint's fantastic flip-up len covers. The pic mounts are identical to those provided in the Centerpoint and are sufficient quality, though more than likely you'll upgrade to better mounts (especially for the height). Bushnell comes with some additional accessories including an extended sun shade and a dark lens. Overall, I highly recommend the Busnhell.
