Literally anything will be better than a bottom tier Vortex, despite the Fanboys going” Warranty Bro, bro Warranty, Bro!”

Vortex is both overpriced and overhyped on here,

Bushnell TRS 25

Can someone explain to me why people hate on the triumph? Like ok its not a high end dot but 50k hours battery life, shake awake, holds zero, sturdy enough, glass is relatively clear, dot relatively bright and lifetime warranty. All that for 160$.

I have never tested old vortex optic. But have in tje past 10 years or so, I think their optics are a good bang for your buck. The HD line has really clear glass. I get I would never put a 150$ optic on a 2500$ rifle like OP wants to do but for a cheap build, I think the triumph is hard to beat. I have it on a cheap shotgun and it does me pretty good.
