I'm after a red dot and after spending a bit of time reading up on them on what people have suggested on the forum I've got it down to the TRS-25 or an Aimpoint micro H-2. Just after some final opinions on the two and what you would get given the price difference? (convince me to invest in the aimpoint :D hahaha)
I own a number of both, both fine optics in there classes but the aipoint is much nicer if you can justafy the price diferance. Im slowly replacing every trs25 with aimpoints as they come up second hand so read into that what you will
Cheers @res that is pretty much the confirmation I was after
I went the other way,had an aimpoint but sold it and replaced with trs25 and a leupold 1-4 scope with the funds,don't see a lot of difference between the trs and the aimpoint for the coin difference except battery life maybe,if my life depended on it I would go aimpoint but not for general hunting.
@keenbloke saw these and there's been a few posts on them here they look the business http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...t-black-26458/
I'm looking at getting one next time I'm in the states to use on driven boar:thumbsup: in France
@Sideshow yeah I've read through a few of the posts and people are rating them. I've got the opportunity to have a play with one next weekend so after that I'll weigh it all up
I'd be keen to hear what you think @keenbloke
Holosun.
2000+ rounds on top of my shot gun and not a single issue.
Have an Aim point patrol 2 brought last year works well, turned battery on as soon as I brought it, still going. apparently a 3 year battery life :thumbsup:
Yeah I've seen from people comments on similar threads that the battery life is exceptional. Apparently the holosun is right up there as well now.Quote:

Have you considered Sig Sauer red-dots? They're exceptionally well made, glass is crisp and they have a unconditional, transferable no receipt needed lifetime warranty.
Oh, and they can run for 50,000 hours on one single battery which puts them in the same league as Aimpoint.
Who has the sig sauer red dots for sale?
I bought a Sig Romeo 5 off Amazon.
USD$142 plus you may get a youshop type courier to carry it.
Attachment 75447
How did you go about using youshop? Just read there restricted items and it's pretty much any type of scope or anything firearm related?
@keenbloke how did you get on?Quote:

NOT optics.
Bought it on Amazon, used my youshop address. When it got there they asked what it grouped under and I said golf rangefinder. no bother. BUYUSA also works.
If you go under there full prohibited list it does mention red dot sights, holographic sights and scopes etc but thanks, I guess some things like that may have a primary use on a firearm but would also be used as sights on industrial equipment etc so might give that a go.Quote:
