In this edition of Good Gear, I compare the Burris TRS-25 red dot + Vortex VMX-3T 3X magnifier vs Trijicon TR24R 1-4X red triangle scope.

Why didn't you choose a better magnifier from the start, jerk?
"it flips to the right, which is super retarded" lol
"Lets compare a $250 setup to a $1000 setup."
Very Nice demonstration. I have both set ups on a few different riles, and have often thought about which is best. Nicely done all around, thanks
Great presentation, nice shooting and great looking setup.
Trijicon needs to knock an inch off that tr24 and I would shit. Love that scope but its long for a 10.5 setup
Bull sh*it!
M416
They were thinking of left handers ..cool
Accupoint 1-4 or Acog?
I forgot to say one thing in my last post. One benefit to the cheaper utg 3x magnifier is that it comes with the mount that flips to the right rather than the left
Really like the video and well done. One thing I would say though, is that you have seem to go cheap with the red dot; and more expensive with the magnifier. I think this is why you have the smear that you have. I am running the Vortex Spitfire 2 as my red dot. Then I have the utg 3 x magnifier which is only $89 for the magnifier and $200 for the red dot. I don't have any smear on the reticle whatsoever and it shoots excellent, and accurate. I would suggest going with a more expensive red dot, and try to save money on the magnifier in my personal opinion.
Great review but terrible music.
5:26 yo looks like he has a huge ass finger
Bushnell Red Dot is pretty solid as far as keeping a zero, but it is not bright enough for sunny day shooting.
I don't know how anybody is able to use it on anything other than cloudy days or the evening.
Nice Vid.. thank you
Thanks for the info this really helped me in my decision of what I wanted for optics on my New AR!
Cello music is as annoying as a jack hammer, you could try on of Vivaldi" Four seasons that are more soothing (winter comes to mind). Your sells pitch is good though.
a good switch view would made the 1-4 faster. just saying
When I was in Nam we didn't have all these fancy scopes.. all we had was our iron sights and our bayonets.
Does your name suggest you are in California? And if so how is your setup legal?
A lever on the scope might make a difference.
Looks very similar to me just comes down to preference. I personally run a 1-4x mostly because it was the cheaper option and it doesnt have to have batteries it only loses illumination.
Great vid! I've subbed. I have an astigmatism and going back and foryh between a red dot and 1×4 has been driving me crazy. I have red dots, and i didn't want to give up any of the close range capabilities of it if i bought a 1×4 or 1×6. This vid helped a lot.
music is cancer
Please come out of retirement and make more videos!!!!
DAM THE MUSIC MAN!!
I have Vortex 3x with Aimpoint T-2. Some personal experience. Dot gets smeared, if adjustment on the magnifier is not enough to compensate difference in alignment. I had the same issue with Comp M2, but not with T-2. Also, if magnifiers flips to the right, ejection port will splash the lens with plenty of oil and residue. Eventually, it starts to affect image. Cleaning oil covered lens on the range is not ideal situation to be in. Therefore I chose to flip it to the left, which is also faster to do for me.
How many sights do u need on a rifle?
The music captivated me
Tr25 vs Trijicon??? Really?! Why not use the Primary Arms 1-6 instead?
The videography was excellent imo as well!
I'm ambidextrous,…….. deadly
The magnifier over your left eye is used in close quarters to identify what you're looking at while your right eye is aiming and ready to shoot if needed. Mostly used when entering buildings and entering rooms. Did your target just pull out a knife or was that a key? Identify with left eye shoot with right eye. Since civilians are very unlikely to need a magnifier for this kind of application, it may seem retarded but from an LE perspective, it is exactly what they need and that is exactly why Vortex ships it that way.
Kind of comparing Ferrari to Kia here. ijs. But very good review.
The trijicon 1-4 is worlds above glass wise and they are notoriously strong and durable. I run a segmented circle trijicon 1-4 on one AR15 and an eotech exps3 hhd. I find myself usually gravitating toward the gun with the 1-4.
Subbed
Leupold makes good 1×4 scopes for around 400-500
Well filmed props on all of your hardwork there's a lot of work here. This was also incredibly informative. Great Content.
