BUSHNELL R3 3-9X40 MULTI-X BLK

Description

The Bushnell R3 3-9×40 is a straightforward hunting riflescope built for the shooter who wants a reliable, no-nonsense optic on a centerfire rifle without overcomplicating the setup. The 3-9x magnification range covers the practical distances most hunters encounter — from close-range timber shots at the low end to open-field work as you dial up — without the added weight or cost that comes with wider zoom ratios. This is a scope that fits a working hunting rifle, not a benchrest or long-range precision build.

The Multi-X reticle sits in the second focal plane, which means the crosshair stays the same apparent size throughout the magnification range. For a hunting scope used primarily at a fixed power setting, that is a practical advantage: the reticle stays uncluttered and easy to pick up quickly. The fully multi-coated optics matter most at the ends of the day, when deer are moving and light is failing — the coating stack on every air-to-glass surface is what separates a usable image at dusk from a muddy one.

Bushnell’s EXO Barrier coating is applied to the exterior lens surfaces and functions as a hydrophobic and oleophobic layer, causing water and oils to bead and roll off rather than smear across the glass. In rain or when you’re handling the scope with field-dirty hands, this keeps the image cleaner without constant wiping. The one-piece tube is rated IPX7 waterproof and is recoil-tested, so it is built to stay zeroed through the mechanical stress of hard-kicking cartridges season after season. Capped turrets protect the elevation and windage adjustments from inadvertent movement in the field. The Bushnell Lifetime Warranty covers the optic for the long term.
