BUSHNELL R5 3-9X40 DOA-LRH800 BLK ILL

Description

The Bushnell R5 3-9×40 is a hunting riflescope aimed at shooters who need a reliable low-light advantage without stepping into premium price territory. The DOA-LRH800 reticle is the core of what this scope does: the floating illuminated center dot gives you a precise aiming reference in dim conditions, while the BDC drop points extend usable holds out to 800 yards and the wind-hold references account for 5 and 10 MPH crosswinds at that same distance. That makes ranging and holdover decisions faster in the field than working from mental math alone.

Illumination is handled through a dedicated turret that places an off position between every brightness level. That single design choice matters in practice — you can kill the light instantly between shots and return to your preferred setting without cycling through the full range again. The scope sits on the second focal plane, meaning the reticle subtensions are calibrated at a specific magnification rather than scaling with the power ring, so dial to the right magnification before reading your BDC holds.

Side focus lets you eliminate parallax without reaching for the objective bell, which keeps your head behind the scope and your eye on the target. The capped target turrets are repeatable enough for dialing at longer distances and reset cleanly after field adjustments. HD glass with fully multi-coated optics pushes light transmission during the low-angle shooting hours that define most big-game hunts. EXO Barrier coating on the exterior lenses sheds water, oil, and dust rather than letting it sit on the glass. Construction is nitrogen-purged and waterproof to IPX7, and the tube is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum. The scope is covered by Bushnell’s lifetime unconditional warranty.
