Reviews & Ratings for Bushnell 1x28 Trophy Red Dot Sight 730131 — 12 reviews — Page 1

This has worked out so well on my Kel Tec Sub 2000 Gen 2.
It's easy to use and stays locked in when I adjust my Red Lion Fore End.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Bushnell red dot in the future. They're well worth their money.

I was liked the low profile and clean lines. It is perfect for my AK and was a breze to sight in. My only nagitive quertic was that the red dot needs a brighter ajustment for bright sunny days.

For the money I would highly recommend this sght.

Pros: I was liked the low profile and clean lines. It is perfect for my AK and was a breze to sight in.
Cons: My only nagitive quertic was that the red dot needs a brighter ajustment for bright sunny days.

Bought this sight on a whim with plans to mount it on my Kel Tec S2k. This is the first red dot I've purchased and the first time mounting and sighting in any scope. Set up was very easy and I had no issues sighting in the scope and it works great at 50 yards. The variable red dot brightness is extremely handy.
Pros: Easy Set Up, Very Sturdy
Cons: None

After many years experience with centerfire and rimfire smokeless powder arms I recently decided to become a member of the air rifle community. I purchased a new break-barrel springer .22 caliber air rifle that came equipped with open sight and a 3x9 scope. Wanting an inexpensive sight that would fill the accuracy and versatility gap between the open sight and the 3x9 scope I bought one of red dot sights in the $40 price range. During accuracy testing I discovered that this red dot sight had so much parallax error at 20 yards I could no longer feel confident in my shot placement. After reading internet postings of red dot sight reviews I decided to upgrade to the Bushnell Model 73-0131 Red Dot Sight. So far this sight is worth every dollar of it's price. While not giving solid, precise tactile feedback the sight elevation and windage adjustment is precise enough for the application and able to withstand the double-recoil of a springer air rifle. And although the red dot does not remain perfectly round for all illumination settings weapon accuracy is not affected as long as you adjust to the minimum intensity level for best target contrast. There is a small amount of parallax error detectable at 20 yards but most of it is in the outer edge of the field of view. Best accuracy to date has been sub 1/2 inch for 5 shots at 20 yards with quality ammo. This is nearly equal to my best groups with the 3x9 scope. The Bushnell 73-0131 red dot sight is definitely a good buy.

Put it on my 10/22 for some fun shooting. The larger MOA dot is not for target shooting but good for pest control.
Pros: Easy to set up and has held zero

Great little red dot. Easy to set up and dial in. Very good price!
Stock rings are weak. Put stronger steel rings on in place of stock.
Pros: Easy to use, great price.
Cons: Rings that come stock are not the best, would like a slightly smaller dot (maybe 4 MOA)

Works great on my Saiga AK47 rifle. Holds Zero, Easy to see even in bright light at setting #7. Got to remember to tighten the rings ALL the way.. Overall for the price and features and ruggedness I would recommend.
Pros: Cost, Setup, Ease of Use, Keeps Zero
Cons: Rings

I mounted the Bushnell 1x28 Trophy Red Dot Sight 730131 on my Marlin 1894 44Mag, using an XS sight scout rail and a set of Millet Tactical rings, the supplied rings are okay for small caliber guns I wanted something stronger for the 44mag. This allowed me to mount the optics forward on the gun, this is a very good combination for quick acquisition needed for a brush gun. I had the setup on target in three shots. I shot a box of shells with no problems out of the red dot sight. Very good value for your optic dollar.
Pros: Good value for the price.
Cons: None

I put the sight on a semi auto .22 pistol. For $60 its a good deal. The dot is visible in bright light. I have tried other low end dot sights, and sometimes the dot is difficult to see in bright light.

I have used the 1-6x and 3-9x Bushnell red dot scopes for over 30 years on 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO so I have faith in the company's products.
I have used this sight on Airsoft replicas, 9mm pistols and 5.56mm NATO rifles with no problems. Due to the 1x magnification its range is less than 200 meters but it allows rapid target acquisition under these ranges if you keep both eyes open.
Pros: It works as advertised
Cons: No aimpoint of the battery runs out
