BUSHNELL R3 3-9X40 DOA-QB BLK

Description

The Bushnell R3 3-9×40 is a centerfire riflescope built for hunters who need a dependable, no-nonsense optic that holds up across seasons rather than just opening day. The variable magnification range suits a practical spread of hunting scenarios — enough reach for open-country shots while staying usable in tight timber at the low end. That trade-off is where most hunters actually live, and the R3 is calibrated for it rather than chasing maximum magnification at the cost of everyday usability.

The DOA Quick Ballistic reticle is the defining feature here. Rather than requiring you to hold over and estimate, it places pre-calculated drop points at distances out to 600 yards, with built-in wind holds extending to 500 yards at 5 mph. That gives a field shooter a reference system that works without mental math at the moment of truth. It sits in the second focal plane, which means the reticle subtensions are calibrated at a specific magnification — users relying on the drop points for ranging or holdover need to confirm which power setting matches the reticle’s markings.

Fully multi-coated optics pull in usable light during the low-angle conditions at dawn and dusk when most hunting shots happen. Bushnell’s EXO Barrier lens treatment bonds to the glass surface rather than sitting on top of it, which helps water and debris shed cleanly rather than collecting on the objective or ocular. The one-piece tube carries an IPX7 waterproof rating and has been recoil-tested, so it is built to stay zeroed through the kind of repeated high-power rifle use a hunting scope actually sees. Capped turrets keep adjustments protected when the scope is in the field. The whole package is backed by Bushnell’s Lifetime Warranty.
