ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Simply saying the Meprolight is way better than the TRS25, is like saying the Aimpoint T2 is way better than the Meprolight. Well no shit, completely different price points for one, $70 vs $400 vs $740. Not to mention several other points too. The TRS25 has a very well deserved excellent reputation in its class/price range. A small step up would perhaps be the Primary Arms Micro, another budget RDS with a stellar reputation.

Spacehog 2,218 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Another Saiga .223 that I helped a buddy convert a couple of years ago to his liking. He was laid off from his second job (meaning he was working two jobs at the same time). I paid more than the rifle is worth, but I look at it as an investment for his family's future. image.jpg The only catch is I offered to hold on to the rifle and let him buy it back at the same price. I would much rather he own it and enjoy it than have another Saiga in the safe. Hopefully, things will turn around for him and he can buy it back. If not, I will probably gift it back to him in the future anyway. Can't stand to see someone let go of something they value to make ends meet when they are working their tail off already.(1John 3:16-19) He bought the rifle back tonight. Very cool. And I would add that there was no background check and I will say unequivocally he is 100x more honest, trustworthy, and a "man" than the current POS that we currently have to call POTUS.

The TRS25 has a very well deserved excellent reputation in its class/price range. A small step up would perhaps be the Primary Arms Micro, another budget RDS with a stellar reputation. Right now I don't see anything to compete with the Primary Arms ADS for quality/features/price. The basic PA micro is good, especially when you find them on sale for $49 like I did. But the ADS is good enough that it can honestly be called a budget Aimpoint. I'm sure I'll get some flack for that statement but it's 95% of an Aimpoint H1 for 30% the cost.

JonWienke 131 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I'm a big fan of the Meprolight Tru-Dot. It's rugged, has good optics (no weird blue tint when looking through it), insanely long battery life, and the motion sensor auto power-on means you can leave it on and it will be ready as soon as you pick up the gun. And the view window is bigger than an Eotech or Aimpoint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 After putting together a decent mid-length AR on PSA for only $527.47 after S/H & transfer. I started out with good intentions of doing bargain builds when I ordered 3 Anderson stripped lowers for $39 each. But I just couldn't help myself. I wanted that handguard and that barrel and that trigger and that muzzle device and that bcg and that buffer and that charging handle and 10 pmags for each rifle to match the furniture and ... I was glad I let my ffl buy the third lower. I sure as hell couldn't afford another "cheap" AR build. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
