Bushnell AR Optics TRS-25 HiRise
Red Dot Sight – 3 MOA · AR-15 Optimised
Compact 1×25 mm tube-style sight with Amber-Bright coating, Hi-Rise mount and 5,000 h battery life.
The best-selling budget red dot – now optimised for AR-15 platforms
The Bushnell AR Optics TRS-25 HiRise is the AR-15-optimised variant of the legendary TRS-25 – one of the world’s most popular entry-level red dot sights. The 1×25 mm tube with Amber-Bright multi-coating delivers a bright, high-contrast image and projects a precise 3 MOA red dot with 11 brightness levels. The included Hi-Rise riser block raises the optical axis to the ideal height for AR-15 flat-top receivers – perfect for co-witness with standard iron sights. With 5,000 hours of battery life (CR2032), IPX5 protection, nitrogen purging and O-ring sealing, the TRS-25 HiRise performs reliably even under adverse conditions.
Optics · Coating
Amber-Bright coating – maximum contrast in any light
Bushnell’s proprietary Amber-Bright multi-coating is the centrepiece of the TRS-25 optics. It optimises light transmission across the visible spectrum and enhances the contrast of the red dot against the background – particularly in changing light conditions. Whether at twilight on a hunting stand or in bright sunlight at the shooting range, the 3 MOA dot remains clear and sharp at all times. The 11-level rotary brightness control allows precise adaptation to any environment.
Hi-Rise mount – perfect height for AR-15 flat-top
The included aluminium Hi-Rise riser block raises the TRS-25 to the optimal axis for AR-15 platforms with Picatinny flat-top receivers. This gives you a clean co-witness with standard iron sights – or use the sight above the iron sights (upper 1/3 co-witness) for faster target acquisition. The Picatinny direct mount also allows use without the riser on shotguns, crossbows or other platforms with a Picatinny rail.
IPX5 – nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed
The TRS-25 HiRise is IPX5 rated for water-jet protection. Nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging during temperature changes, while O-ring sealing reliably keeps out moisture, dust and debris. With an 80 MOA adjustment range (windage and elevation, 1 MOA clicks each, 40 MOA per revolution) and a fixed parallax setting at 46 m, the TRS-25 HiRise provides all the essentials for accurate shooting at short to medium distances.
Bushnell Lifetime Warranty – lifelong protection
Bushnell provides a Lifetime Warranty on the AR Optics TRS-25 HiRise, covering material and manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the product. In addition, the statutory 2-year Swiss warranty applies.

Frequently Asked Questions – Bushnell AR Optics TRS-25 HiRise
What does 3 MOA mean on the Bushnell TRS-25 HiRise?
MOA stands for Minute of Angle. A 3 MOA dot covers approximately 8.7 cm at 100 m. This is a good balance between fast target acquisition and sufficient precision for distances up to 200 m.
What is the Amber-Bright coating?
Amber-Bright is Bushnell’s proprietary multi-coating. It optimises light transmission and enhances the contrast of the red dot against the background – especially at twilight and in changing light conditions.
What is the Hi-Rise block for?
The included Hi-Rise riser block raises the sight to the optimal height for AR-15 flat-top receivers. This gives you co-witness or upper 1/3 co-witness with standard iron sights. Without the riser block, the TRS-25 is also suitable for shotguns, crossbows or other Picatinny platforms.
How long does the battery last?
The CR2032 coin cell provides up to 5,000 hours of runtime. With regular range use, this equates to several years of operation without a battery change.
Is the TRS-25 HiRise waterproof?
Yes. The TRS-25 HiRise is IPX5 rated for water-jet protection. It is also nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed, which prevents internal fogging during temperature changes.
How do I zero the sight?
Zeroing is done via the elevation and windage turrets with 1 MOA clicks. The total adjustment range is 80 MOA each (40 MOA per revolution). An Allen wrench is included for mounting.
Which firearms can the TRS-25 HiRise be mounted on?
The TRS-25 HiRise fits any firearm with a Picatinny rail. With the Hi-Rise block, it is ideal for AR-15 flat-top receivers. Without the block, it is also suitable for shotguns, carbines, crossbows and rimfire rifles.
What warranty does Bushnell provide?
Bushnell provides a Lifetime Warranty on the TRS-25 HiRise, covering material and manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the product. In addition, the statutory 2-year Swiss warranty applies.
