BUSHNELL R3 3-9X50 MULTI-X BLK

Description

The Bushnell R3 is a practical hunting and field scope aimed at shooters who want reliable glass and a clean, familiar reticle without overcomplicating a setup. The 3-9x magnification range covers the ground between close-range woods hunting and reaching out to reasonable distances in open country, letting you dial back for fast target acquisition in brush or crank up for a steadier hold at distance. That versatility makes it a sensible choice for a dedicated deer rifle or a general-purpose bolt gun that earns its keep across different conditions.

The Multi-X reticle keeps things straightforward: a duplex-style crosshair with thick outer posts that draw the eye quickly to center, suited to low-light shots at dawn or dusk when fine reticles can disappear. The 50mm objective lens gathers enough light to support those dim-condition shots without pushing the scope into a size and weight class that demands tall rings and raises your cheek weld significantly. It is a considered balance between light transmission and mount height rather than the largest-objective-possible approach some hunters take.

Bushnell applies their EXO Barrier coating to the exterior lens surfaces, which is a molecular bonding treatment designed to shed water, oil, and debris rather than simply repelling them the way a standard hydrophobic coating does. In rain or dusty conditions that matters practically: smearing a compromised lens mid-hunt is a real problem, and a surface that sheds contamination with less wiping reduces the risk of scratching. The 1-inch main tube is widely compatible with standard ring sets, so mounting it to an existing rifle without sourcing specialty hardware is straightforward.
