This review is from: Bushnell Trophy 1x 28mm Riflescope Red Dot Sight with Auto On/Off (Sports)

This is a great product for the price, and I'll likely buy another one. It is solid, but NB that it will require separate mounts for some wide applications, such as the Benjamin Marauder; check your rifle beforehand and make sure that you are willing to pay for a decent mount if needed. My own application has so far been limited to the Marauder, air rifles being my most frequent shooting choice.

This excellent Bushnell product presents a clear sight picture of adequate breadth. The greatest feature of this red dot is the auto on/off feature, which turns the power drain off when the rifle is on its side. Short of the 50,000 hour and higher circuitry in Aimpoint and competitive scopes costing four or more times as much, this terrific feature will, as to a rifle which is cased on its side when not in use, vastly increase battery life. A truly neat feature that Bushnell should widely adopt.

I believe that with all scope mounting applications it is wise to use Loktite, and that the Blue is best, so that greater hold is obtained, but removal is not impaired. I believe that to be essential here. Without that, it will come loose, and I would expect this to be more of a feature in the spring air rifle application. Whether this would stand up to springer user is unknown to me, but I wouldn't personally use it for that.

The adjustments are internal and capped, which means a good gunsmith screwdriver set is handy to have. I suppose a dime might work, but haven't tried it. It comes with a filter for high sun conditions. It comes with transparent lens caps, a nice extra not present even in some more expensive red dots. The optics have little or no distortion, in my eyes none. It is certainly worth paying for this versus a cheaper Barska, at least at the level of the Russian variant usually seen in mass consumer sporting goods stores. I'm not knocking Barska products, which despite their inexpensive prices can be very accurate, but compared to this they eat batteries. The zero-in adjustments work very well and high accuracy is possible.

It has the seemingly great feature of possessing several different reticle settings, dots of differing MOA, I think 2 and 4 as I write this, plus illuminated crosshairs, plus the donut, meaning a dot within an illuminated circle. This adjustment, though, is also its downfall. After long target use, often switching reticles, I found that impact point would change from reticle to reticle. At first I couldn't see why, so just stayed with the 2 MOA dot. But on further examination, a problem was found, which must affect all of these.

After long use, the screw friction knob and shaft arrangement which is used for reticle change will become loose, but not obviously so. The result of this is that when there is a reticle re-set, until the problem is isolated, and tightened (it sounds obvious, but it isn't) there is a variance in impact point between reticles. Once I realized this, I tightened it, from memory and without looking I believe it was a very small Allen, and then simply left it in the 2 MOA dot setting. I did not have the impression, at all, that the problem was going to stay fixed, so I stopped changing reticles. No problems since.

If a person had put a lot of thought and planning into, for example, a turkey hunt (.22 air rifles being legal for this in some western States), and then missed a shot due to this, it could be a big aggravation. This is not a sight that I would personally tend to use for very serious competition, but it is plenty accurate. I am thankful to Bushnell for making this excellent red dot at this price, with the on/off function, so much so that I'm taking the time to pound out an endorsing review, but this is also a "too many features" problem, and the same scope, without the changeable reticles, would be a more reliable tool.

On the subject of reticle flare, as commented by other reviewers, I feel that this may perhaps be a 'fresh battery' problem, and that if the rifle is left in the standing position long enough for the extra electrical potential to run down a bit out of the lithium, the flaring may disappear - that was my approach and result.

This review is from: Bushnell Trophy 1x 28mm Riflescope Red Dot Sight with Auto On/Off (Sports)

Think you're getting a lot of nice red dot features for a low price? Best I can say is yes it has features - but the execution is poor. Mine came with a coating issue that looks like a large red splatter when the sun is low and behind you. I decided to live with it and since it only happens on certain conditions.

Here's a rundown on the other 'features'. The cross hair and cross hair with circle suffer badly from excessive flair even at low power. They become large red blobs that keep you from seeing your target.

Ok so the 2 moa and 4 moa dot are usable. Here we are 3 years later and the power adjustment knob is now stuck on 6. It will not turn clockwise or counter clockwise.

Cheap price gets you cheap results.
