I have always wondered how hard it would be for one to mount a red dot on an old rifle, thanks :D

G'Day Fella's,

Aussie_redneck, a mate has a couple of the Bushnell TRS 25 sights, and they are pretty good sight for the money!

They're great sights but that price tag really does sting.

They last longer than some of the cheaper brands.

Never said they didn't last, just said they were expensive.

Not knocking them but the price tag is what it is.

$750 - $1000 does feel like a lot to buy a dot :lol:
