Title: Bushnell TRS25 Failure
Post by: Gumby on February 11, 2017, 05:26:03 PM
Patterned guns today. My dad's TRS25 broke. Two years old. Part of the imaging prism or mirror (not sure of the actual part name) came loose and just rolling around in the tube now. Shooting 3" loads. Disappointing but I guess you get what you pay for.

Sorry to see that but I am not surprised. I have experienced problems with every single Bushnell item in my beginning years and will never use another one even if it was given to me. Good luck to ya.

Sorry to hear that, I put one on my son's 20 and it has done well so far but at the price of them I don't expect it to hold up long with turkey loads.  He just turned 9. If he still wants to hunt after this season I will probably upgrade it to a better red dot. I wanted to see if he would like turkey hunting or not.  I would call Bushnell they will probably send you another one.  Wish the two of you well for the upcoming turkey season.

Thanks guys. I'm not surprised that it failed but I just haven't heard of anyone having many problems with them. Always smart to not skimp on your optics.

Man that's a bummer! I've had my trs on a Vinci for a couple seasons, then 2 seasons on my bps 10, a short stint on a  6.5x55 mauser, now currently on one of my ar's and it keeps plugging along! Hopefully Bushnell will take care of it for you.

I have a trophy and a tr25 red dot with no problems. Anything can break I had a FF2 fail and Burris sent me a new one ASAP. Hopefully Bushnell will also !
