Reddit reviews Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1x25mm, Black

I really like Bushnell TRS-25. Its under $90 at amazon. No problem holding its zero after 1K rounds.
Now 69.99 http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1381418979&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=trs+25

2nd vote for the Romeo 5 if you can find it at $100 or below on eBay with a coupon. Oyahsales, or whatever the eBay company with the good price is called, seems to have caught on and raised their price by a few bucks to offset the frequent coupons.

If not, just keep an eye on gundeals.

I've also got a couple TRS-25s, but since you'll need a pic rail riser and that seems to mean shitty UTG risers, I don't really feel they're worth it.

No, you're best bet is a Bushnell TRS-25 or one of the cheaper Primary Arms red dots.

Buy Once, Cry Once.

I realize this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but this is probably your best bet at this price point.

On my backup gun I run this Pinty reflex sight. It's cheap and gets the job done. The adjustable brightness is a nice touch if you're playing in a dark/light environment.

On my main gun I run the Bushnell TRS-25. Definitely the best bang for your buck. Great construction and a super clear and sharp reticle.

The TRS-25 hits the price/quality mark perfectly for a gun you're just looking to have fun with. The rebate deal they had a month ago is over, but you can still get one for $70 on Amazon.

No.

But if you want one that just works, the red only Fieldsport on Amazon is great at $20.

Next step up but still budget would be a Bushnell TRS-25. Less glass tint, and all around better quality for $50.

Youll want this riser with either one.

If you eventually want a quality real steel Optic, look for the Vortex Strikefire, Vortex Crossfire red dot, Vortex SPARC AR, or the Sig Romeo 5. All can be had for about 120 if you shop around. Vortex optics have fantastic warranties.

If you want some magnification, i eecommend the monstrum 3x prism sight. Let it be known though, that the sight adjustments work in reverse.

Bushnell TRS-25. It's running a little high now but I've gotten them as low as $50.

I run a Bushnell TRS-25 on my slab-side Competition and I'm happy enough with it. I mostly just plink steel with it and it's good enough for me.

Bushnell TRS-25 Inexpensive, and works.

Bushnell TRS-25 currently 69.99 on Amazon - Currently the best deal going IMHO

Amazon has the Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 for 52.99 +tax w/ prime shipping.

This is the best price it's ever been on Amazon according to camelcamelcamel

Maybe I've been lucky, as the three different rebate submissions (red dot, rifle scope, binoculars) I sent in last year all came through. You should be able to get a TRS-25 red dot for $2 after this rebate although some have claimed the Vista web page wouldn't accept the UPC. It worked for me last year.

The TRS-25 is about as cheap as I'd go for something I'm going to stick on a 'real' caliber. If you're just going to use it on a .22 rifle, there's plenty of stuff on Amazon (NCStar, FireField, etc.) that'll likely work fine.

I've shot a couple Krytac vectors. The performance is pretty mediocre for the price. Trigger in particular feels awful. I've heard of some performance issues as well.

WE Hi-capas aren't awful, they're just not as good as most other hi-capas. Also, the weirder it is the harder it'll be to find a holster.

The mask the helmet comes with isn't properly impact rated. You want at least ANSI Z87.1+

For a bit more you can get a Bushnell TRS25 which I've heard is excellent for the price.I'd bet the Feyachi or whatever other brand is the same as the Evike one. I've heard the Fieldsport micro dot is good as well.

Needed an AR to get into 3 gun. Built one. Most people these days say at the entry-level AR price point to just buy a Ruger AR-556 or a Smith & Wesson MP-15 Sport. And I honestly don't see why when build kits are so cheap. For around ~$500 you can get one of the aformentioned guns. With a factory warrenty and support. But with a A post front sight, milspec furniture, and mil-spec trigger. Basically a plain jane AR in every way.

Or you can put together something with MOE furniture, a 13.5 Mlok rail, a cheap red dot, back up ironsights, a stainless steel barrel, and a upgraded trigger.

PSA upper so far has functioned flawlessly in the first 100rds it took me to function test and zero the sights and red dot. Fit and finish on the upper is just fine. And it seems to be just as accurate or not more for an AR in this price range. The EPT trigger included with the kit is pretty nice. Its probably a little under the weight of a milspec trigger. But it has nearly no travel, and a very clean and crisp break, with a short reset.

Bushnell TRS- 25 is a nice little budget red dot. They were a nice budget optic when I first put one on my Amazon wishlist 4 years ago. They were going for $80-100 back then. Now that they seem to be going for $35-45 dollars regularly it feels like stealing.

BCM Foregrip is really cool. I like the stubby compact grip, functions as both a handstop and a traditional VFG.

The whole build weighs in at 6lbs 12.9 oz unloaded.

Personally, I think this is a much better value than buying a cheap off the shelf AR.

A few notes. Prices are subject to change. I happened to snatch up the red dot at its lowest price available, but they often show up for around $40 or so.

Second I also built this of an 80% reciever because boogaloo. This obviously doesn't include the price of tools and the jig. But I could have just as easily used a $40 Anderson lower. Minus FFL fees because those vary.

Thirdly, this is representivative of what the average joe can build today. I hate seeing "budget builds" that start with people saying they used a once in a life time coupon and just happened to have half the build laying around in their garage. This isn't a gun thing either, every hobby has people like this. Also everyone seems to always have a "buddy" that is capable of doing some normally really expensive or complicated task for basically free. Not everyone went to kindergarden with some guy who just happens to be able to resurface the face of a engine block on their own dime Jim!. /rant.

Fourthly, I painted the reciever with truck bed liner. Don't do this. It goes on super thick, takes forever to dry as evidence from my smudge marks, and fucks up all the tolerances in the gun. But it does fit the spirit of the build. And the battle worn look is kind of cool, if it only fit the rest of the rifle.

I realize this is not the sight you are looking for but the Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 is awesome for a great price. I have shot a lot with this along with my Eotech. you will need a riser along with this sight.

I would return that back to Amazon and replace it with (r/https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00200E0HM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) cheaper and its a Bushnell. I purchase two of these and they have held up great.

This is the red dot I got for my little badger. It's super cheap but works well enough for me so far. The only real downside is it makes the gun to big to fit into the carry bag that it comes with, but I chuck mine into a backpack anyway so it was a non-issue.

The sight is rather low profile so it actually looks pretty good on the gun and at the same time gives it a MUCH nicer sight picture. The default sights on this gun are... not very nice imo.

For right around that price point you can get a real steel Bushnell TRS-25 which will be infinitely better.

All day, everyday.

trs-25 is 64.99 at amazon.

I have one and love it. They’re currently $44 on Amazon. It probably has the best quality/price ratio out there.

I just bought this Bushnell. It is a great little red dot, and tough as hell.

I also bought this cheap riser mount because I was putting it on at AR.

The no-rise version of the TRS-25 is currently $39 on Amazon no longer the price I was seeing...

You'll often see the TRS-25s on sale for $35-$40 ish (I grabbed one last week @ $35 for my new 9mm upper). Add in a .83" riser for ~$10 and you're still ahead of buying the taller version.

Just got this one in the mail 2 weeks ago. Works amazing, the Dot is visible even in intense sun, adjustable brightness, and only $20 over your budget.

I just ordered my second Bushnell trs-25 for $69 from PSA they are a good red dot and I also ordered PSA aluminum BUIS for $69 I haven't heard anything about them on here but they were on sale so I figured I'd give them a try.

Just run irons for now man, buy a KNS front sight post (I use the .052 dot post but for precision work the inverted V is pretty awesome) and just save the money to put towards your ACOG.

If you are completely opposed to using irons for now, there are a few mid range red dots but they are all battery operated, I am currently using a Bushnell TRS-25 because it has around 128 days battery life on a medium setting. I keep about 1.5 years worth of batteries in my MOE+ grip.

If you are absolutely opposed to a red dot with batteries, the Meprolight is the lowest priced non-battery operated optic that I am aware of.

the bushnell trs-25 is often on sale for less than 70

and you could probably put a dent into a streamlight tlr-1s

Even a simple lateral move would be so much better.
Take the Bushnell trs-25.

It's $56 every day on Amazon, and comes down to $43 from time to time.

There are two different models,

They are considered the minimum viable for reliable, durable, and cheap, plus sport an ultra long battery life.

Here brotha. I know PSA had them on a sale for around 68 after shipping. I don't know if the sale is still going though.

This one is pretty nice, but it's pretty much at the end of your budget. Bushnell Scope

the one I linked above is exactly the same thing without evike's stupid engraving and $15USD cheaper.

those sights are 'disposable commodity' sights, prone to losing zero when bumped, or even just switching the reticule mode (not that it matters, since they have absurd amounts of paralax for a red dot) but they project a nice big dot/cross/whatever in the rough direction of where you need to shoot.

it might serve you well, or you might find it unbearable. I personally have a continually worsening astigmatism which causes lower quality red dots to look less sharp/'starburst', causing me to look into the lower end of the 'real steel' sight market such as this Bushnell TRS-25 at $80 USD.

since its only $20, buy the NC-star clone red-dot, and determine if it works for you, if it doesn't, look into a Bushnell or a Primary Arms dot instead.

Bushnell TRS-25?

https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Sight-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525120231&sr=8-3&keywords=TRS25

Primary Arms MD-RGBII + Primary Arms Micro Dot Base Mount = ~$120

Sig Sauer Romeo5 (OOS online but sold in-store and can still be found for $129 online) = ~$120 - $129

Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 + .83 Height Riser = ~$64

You can also wait for the Memorial Day sales.

Palmetto has free shipping right now. This means they may have raised some prices on certain things so check the price histories over the last few months if possible. The absolute cheapest way is to build yourself. As in buying all of the parts, not just a complete upper and complete lower. Sometimes this can be pretty negligible, though. The way to ultimately build it cheaper by buying piece by piece would be to do it over time, where you opportunistically look for the best deals. I tried to piece together one for you below. It is cheaper than a ptac and blackhawk! build from palmetto, but not by more than 30-50$. But you have more options, can spread out the cost, and you will know the system and how it works much better.

Lower 60$

lower parts kit 35$

Buffer tube/ stock assembly 27$. check around for Sportsmansguide coupons

Blem upper 41$ plus 10$ flat rate shipping. You could combine your magazine purchases from Cope's with the shipping on the upper.
like this 8$ GI mag or this deal for 10 pmags for 107$.

Bolt Carrier Group 80$

Gas Block 17$

Gas tube 13$

forward assist 16$. You may could find this for a few dollars cheaper elsewhere.

Ejection port assembly 9$

free float quadrail 22$ or regular m4 handguards 19$ but you would need this [9$ delta ring]. or the Magpul MOE handguard for 28$

(http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/dpms-ar-15-m16-delta-pack.aspx?a=369258) to go with it.

Bear Creek Barrel, 16" 70$ plus shipping.

Reliable red dot, TRS 25 for 80$ shipped.

and/or iron sights A2 front 18$

Rear sight 22$

So after FFL transfer on the lower (10-30$ depending on location) and shipping on everything you are looking at between 460$ with iron sights, quad rail, and a mag or around 550$ with a red dot and multiple mags.

Cheapest ammo. and at Sportsmansguide where you could ship it with some of the other stuff and potentially use some of their coupons.

you might want to pick one of these wrenches up at 18$ to do the installs.

I know you might only be beating Palmetto prices by around 50-100$, but if you really are on a budget that could make a difference. These prices aren't the very lowest I've ever seen, but they are some of the best I could find in about 5-10min of looking around. Plus, you get the added benefit of buying your rifle in parts, which could help with your budget limitations, and also, more importantly, you can be really familiar with your firearm and its components.

I prefer the bushnell trs-25 to the pa microdot

There is nothing better for the price than this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00200E0HM/

If you want a legit one, it's currently $52 on Amazon. Even waiting on a sale it'd only go down to maybe $45.

I had a truglo for about 3 days. It was working fine out of the box, I put it on my gun, and put the gun away until I got some time to shoot. When I got my gun out to shoot, I turned the sight on and the reticle was blurry on all the settings (different reticles and different brighness settings). I returned it and got a Bushnell TRS-25. The Bushnell gets great reviews and is often recommended as a quality budget red dot.

estimated shipping was $10.85 for me. $66 delivered is pretty good for a TRS-25 these days. amazon is currently $68.25

Bushnell TRS-25 is cheap and works well. I ended up replacing it with a Bushnell 1-4 AR optics donut of death reticle later on. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6mKTDbXZEGF66

This Red Dot sight is for shotguns, rifles, handguns - and is not a cheapo air-soft model.

>You need to come up with a decent (non UTG airsoft shit) rail set up too. Do you actually mount anything beside a VFG? Do you even use a scope?

As far as optics go, I have this BSA 4x30 scope which I have used off and on between my Saiga and my AR15. I also have this Eotech XPS2, and this Bushnell TRS-25 red dot came in the mail today. The Eotech mainly stays on my AR, but I am excited to try out the TRS-25 on my Saiga - I've heard these work well. The Soviet style side mount hasn't worked well for me (mainly because the mount I bought was a piece of crap), so I was looking for something I could mount further forward.

As far as UTG goes, I understand there is a lot of resentment towards their company - but it seems just like the same type of blind resentment people have against Sigmas and Taurus'... People hate on things they've never tried or owned. I'm not saying that's the case with you, but it is with a lot of people. Leaper's / UTG is most definitely not an airsoft exclusive company, the majority of their products are geared for hunting/real steel shooting (real steel/hunting scopes, mil-spec buffer tubes, charging handles, rifle furniture, things that wouldn't work on airsoft guns/only work on real firearms, etc...). Although Leaper's (UTG) makes Airsoft accessories and items, the Saiga 7.62 quadrail is made for real steel firearms. I'm not even sure if anyone out there even makes a Saiga 7.62 airsoft gun?

I just have to ask you: have you even tried the UTG quadrail? I can understand hating on a company cause they've been branded as airsoft only but... you should really give it a chance before you knock it. It's light, it's sturdy, and it stays put. What else could be asked for in a rail? It's so tight, it hasn't budged a fraction of a millimeter since I put it on 3 years ago.

>Several good companies make Ace style stocks and once you have an internal ace adapter in place, you can mount all sorts of stocks, for example, mount a Magpul CTR stock and have it fold to either side. You will just never be able to go back to a standard AK stock.

>Also, this company makes decent AK folding mechanisms, which don't require you to cut the "tang" and are still nice and low profile:

>http://www.bonesteelarms.com/Saiga_c7.htm

I would love a CTR stock and one of those AR stock adapters, those look awesome. Forgive me for being forward here, but I just can't see myself anytime soon dropping $200-$300 on a stock & adapter for a rifle that originally cost me $250. I would love to do it, if I had the funds though. You can clearly see I made / converted this rifle on a budget :D

Bushnell trs-25 is a great red dot that is extremely durable and only about $75.

https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/

I've been using the TRS-25 and it's been good. I've got it on a 1" riser for a lower 1/3 co-witness with my irons. I'm saving for a Vortex 1-4x but haven't felt like I needed a better sight yet. It's tolerated the recoil of a few hundred 12ga rounds and another couple hundred 5.56 and held zero just fine.

https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM

Shoots very well, very little kick and have never had a FTE or FTF. I just got the red dot, so I'm excited to try that out soon.

Vortex Crossfire II Rimfire, runs between $100-130 on Amazon. Works great.

Or a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot for $50.

Looking for a cheap scope/red dot sight for my psa freedom rifle with an A2 front sight. I'm not looking for quality, just something that's about $40 or so and decent. This and this have good rating on amazon, anyone know if they're actually decent?

This has good ratings too.

https://smile.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM

$15.99 after rebate.

Billy Bob's raised their price, but there are other, less reputable sellers. For example:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM?m=A55NYGSXDQP7L&ref_=v_sp_widget_detail_page

Bushnell TRS-25 is a quality budget red dot that would perform similarly to the Vortex.

Edit: you would probably want a riser to go along with it, though that's somewhat personal preference. Amazon has the TRS + riser for $60.

Bushnell TRS-25

Amazon usually has them less than $50. Use camelcamelcamel to get notified I got mine for $40 a month ago. They're $55 right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM

TRS-25 $60

Atomic Arms Barracude Stock $179

Champion Stainless Bull Barrel $89

Ruger 10/22 Carbine $179

That's about $530 and basically my gun, which I really enjoy shooting and it turns heads all the time. Maybe an extended mag release would be a good idea.

if you want to build it - link there also upgraded versions with better stocks/pistol grips etc.

If you don't want to build it - link ps this looks like a pretty rocking build.

With that complete lower and this upper (note this one has a bcg and charging handle) you are at 550. That should save you enough cash to buy iron sights or a budget red dot like bushnell or primary arms. does that fit your budget?

It's cheaper new. So you should lower your price.

Here's a Vortex Sparc and 10 PMAGS for $199.99.

Or a Vortex Strikefire 2 with 10 PMAGS for $179.

Or if you're looking for budget this Bushnell TRS-25 is a good option for sub $50.

TRS-25's are usually $50 new on amazon, however if you want to save sales tax, buy OP's. https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-1x25mm/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=trs25&qid=1566074026&s=gateway&sr=8-1

After about 25 years of not owning anything except a bolt-action rifle and a breach-loading shotgun, I jumped into the AR-15 world nearly two years ago, and now I'm well-and-truly hooked. I'm still a huge nub, so don't take my advice too seriously.

There's a lot to learn just in one platform. But, don't let that keep you from getting both an AR and an AK.

Learning AKs feels overwhelming for completely different reasons than ARs. That said, I am always impressed with how well my AK performs, and how comfortable it is to shoot.

If you haven't already, head over to /r/ak47 and check out the buyer's guide so you don't make a big mistake early on. The oft recommended WASR 10 is considered the best starter AK for the money. Lurk /r/gundeals for a shot at getting one on sale; they've been seen for less than $550 recently which is better than they were pre-election.

I do have to caution you: Accessories and customization for an AK is a completely different game than ARs. You might find that your "cheap plinker" rifle ends up costing you more to trick out, resulting in the same net cost-of-ownership as an AR shooting slightly more expensive ammo. If you end up happy with a stock AK, though, it's a great investment, and a welcome break from sending .22 cal downrange.

All that said, I think if you're picking a semi-auto purely on the basis of budget and having fun hitting targets, this is what I would highly recommend (after wasting a lot of money on stuff I didn't like):

• Rifle: Ruger SR556 or S&W M&P 15
  
• Optic: Bushnell TRS-25 RDS (skip the rear flip-up sight)
  
• Magazines: 10 Magpul Gen M2 PMAGs
  
• Sling: Little Creek Trading Stupid Simple Sling
  
• Supplies: 4oz bottle of G96 CLP, old toothbrush, paper towels
  
• Targets: stapler, staples, paper plates, and a Sharpie
  
• Safety: Glasses and Muffs
  
• Ammo: 1000 rounds of .223 Wolf Polyformance
  
  This is all you need. Just have fun. You'll quickly discover what you like/dislike, and be more informed about upgrades and accessories.

Here's your culprit.

Amazon lists all prices from used to new and either from Amazon or third party sellers. Green Canyon Outfitters probably accidentally put that price.

I use the Bushnell red dot with the riser

Those are CAD price so they are more expensive and also this is thru a local shop which the guy probably spent 2-3 hours with me explaining, recommending and trying stuff :)

As for the sights I'll see if he can source other stuff but I'm might snatch these's, anyone have experience with them? Also overkill for Airsoft?

Check out this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM

It was recommended on another thread yesterday. I haven't used it before but with over 3,000 positive review it can't totally suck.

how long ago? i see it currently for 56.40 :( https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Sight-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1520801302&sr=1-3&keywords=Bushnell+Trophy+TRS-25

cheapest red dot that I would trust is closer to $70 bushnell tr-25

I have one on a 22/45 and it works great, several others in the family on various other handguns/rifles.

The MBUS are better optics than that dot. And for $77, there are better options

Not sure why you got down voted, but here's a very inexpensive red dot sight I put on my 12 gauge. Seems to hold zero pretty well and has been quite reliable.

[Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1x25mm, Black] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_y7TTBb6TE092W)

• TRS-25
  
  
• Sig Romeo5
  
  
• Primary Arms MD-RB-AD
  
  I like the PA with this mount

If you are looking at $100 max, the Bushnell TRS-25 is pretty hard to beat. Without a riser, it is $47, and in the mid $50's with one, which you would definitely want on an AR.

https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-1x25mm/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1543428504&sr=1-2&keywords=bushnell+trs25

Check out the Bushnell red dot it's only $16 after rebate and is supposed to be decent

does it matter which trs-25 i get? or are they all the same.
i quickly looked on amazon and found [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_3?s=hunting-fishing&ie=UTF8&qid=1413224248&sr=1-3)

Awesome! It's funny that's almost my exact setup except for the peq. I have the same tracer and I have this red dot

Depending on how small and put together you like your packagep MAXX makes a hopup with a built in tracer unit. Keeps everything in a tight package. And had bb retention which is why I want it so bad

This is the one.

Most people don't spend $65 on this. It goes on sale frequently for under $40. Then pick up something like a UTG magnifier and mount. It should all total around $100.

this one https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-1x25mm/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr\_1\_4?keywords=bushnell+micro+red+dot&qid=1568169571&s=gateway&sr=8-4

this

It was a good goto cheapo sight until the price practically doubled. The quality has been rumored to have gone down hill too. (unable to confirm personally) I put one on my 10/22. It's great for that application but I wouldn't put it on anything that requires frequent, heavy use, or high performance. These should be $40, in my personal option.

I just bought this rifle as well as the bushnell trophy trs-25, a cheap but well reviewed optic. Figured it was good enough to start and the beauty of the mpr is that I can upgrade later

You might not want that gas block in the front that could block the view of a scope you want to put on it. That said You can get one of the [bushnell red dots on amazon sale] (http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Reticle-Riflescope/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1398269911&sr=1-1&keywords=red+dot) and This riser and then you can have a red dot co witness for hunting which would be sweet.

Looks like I could get the Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm (tilted front lens) and UTG Hi-Profile Compact Riser Mount, 1" High, 3 Slots for ~$55 prime. Clearly doesn't break the bank. Would my next step up from there throw me in the $200 - $300 range?

I don't know what your budget is, but this $75 bushnell is a great optic for airsoft or real steel.

If he doesn't have an optic, get him a bushnell TRS-25.

Best bet will be to go the amazon.ca (prime) route which others have mentioned.

Shameless self promotion hey?


At least you could point him to the cheapest retailer rather than trying to make a buck reselling on your own site. This way he saves $10 and whatever you were gonna' gouge him for shipping.
