    I've bought several TRS-25s before and think they are the bee's knees for cheap red dots, but I'm not impressed with the latest ones I got. You think there's any chance it's a counterfeit?

    optics is one thing I will never buy from amazon.... many fake chinese copies out there
    Definitely a mistake letting it be shipped from a third party seller. Items coming from Amazon itself seem more reliable.

    Honestly I'm surprised anyone would bother counterfeiting a TRS-25 in the first place. It's already a cheapie...

    I was thinking the same thing.

    Found this on Amazon. A TRS-26. Only $12.99. At least you know up front it's a counterfeit. Well, more like a clone.

    I have had good luck with every Bushnell product I've owned. I like the brand. The TRS-25 is my go to cheapy red dot also. I make sure I buy from a legitimate source for everything through Amazon now. I have received a few products via third party that were not as described.

    I won't tout the TRS-25 as a great, inexpensive red dot any more. I bought two, both genuine, and have problems with one. The dot will disappear after a few rounds. Mess with the brightness settings and it will come back for a few rounds. Repeat as needed. I'm sticking with Primary arms for great, inexpensive red dots like the MD-RBG II or MD-ADS. And the Sig Sauer Romeo 5 is also a good one.

    I have a PA micro red dot also and it is a great sight. My Bushnells I bought for $30 a piece though and hold them to a lower standard for cheap.

    You try calling them to see what they say about it?
