BUSHNELL R3 6-18X50 DOA-QB BLK

Description

The Bushnell R3 6-18×50 is built for hunters who need a reliable variable-power optic that earns its keep from early-morning timber stands to long-range open-country setups. The 6x low end gives you a usable field of view when a deer steps out close, while the 18x ceiling lets you read bullet splash and confirm hits at extended distances — useful on any rifle where shooting past 300 yards is part of the plan.

The DOA Quick Ballistic reticle does the math ahead of time. Drop compensation points extend to 600 yards, and wind-hold marks are incorporated out to 500 yards at a 5 mph reference wind — so in the field you’re reading holdovers rather than dialing under pressure. Because this scope sits on the second focal plane, the reticle subtensions are calibrated at a specific magnification, which is worth understanding before you rely on them at the range. Bushnell’s free Ballistic App pairs with the reticle to give you exact holdover distances based on your actual load and rifle, which makes the system meaningfully more useful than a generic BDC.

EXO Barrier lens coating is applied across the optical system to actively shed water, oil, dust, and debris rather than simply resisting them — relevant when condensation or a sudden rain hits at shooting light. The tube is nitrogen-purged to prevent internal fogging when you move between cold and warm environments, and the IPX7 waterproof rating means the scope can be submerged briefly without damage. The one-piece aluminum tube and capped windage and elevation turrets keep the adjustment system protected during transport. It comes backed by Bushnell’s Lifetime Warranty.
