The Bushnell Banner R3 4-12x40 rifle scope brings reliable magnification and a straightforward reticle to hunters and shooters who need a no-nonsense optic for centerfire rifles. This 1-inch tube scope pairs a 4–12x variable magnification range with a 40mm objective lens, making it capable at moderate hunting distances while keeping weight and bulk manageable. The DOA (Dead-On Aim) reticle and QBR (Quick Ballistic Reticle) system let you dial in hold-overs for drop compensation without constantly adjusting your turrets—practical for field hunting where range conditions change and speed matters.
Built for hunters who spend time in the field rather than the lab, the Banner R3 delivers the magnification flexibility you want: crank down to 4x in thick cover where a wide field of view keeps you locked on moving game, or run it up to 12x for precision shooting at longer ranges or tighter targets. The 1-inch tube is the standard fit for most rifle mounting systems, so you're not scrambling to source rings or rail adapters.
Bushnell's Banner line has a long reputation for value—delivering optical performance and durability without the premium price tag. The matte black finish resists glare and blends into most hunting and tactical rifles. Whether you're glassing from a stand, setting up on a ridge, or working a shooting range, the R3 is engineered to get out of your way and let you focus on the shot.
| Magnification | 4–12x |
| Objective Lens | 40mm |
| Tube Diameter | 1 inch |
| Reticle Type | DOA QBR |
| Finish | Matte Black |
The Banner R3 has a 1-inch tube, which is the industry standard and will fit any rifle scope rings or mounts designed for 1-inch tubes. Your rifle's existing mount or a standard aftermarket ring set will work.
The DOA (Dead-On Aim) and QBR (Quick Ballistic Reticle) system includes hash marks or reference points in the reticle that correspond to bullet drop at various distances. This lets you hold over for longer shots without dialing your elevation turrets, which is useful in hunting situations where you need to act quickly or don't have time for turret adjustments.
Yes. The 4–12x magnification range covers most hunting scenarios from woods to open country, the compact size and weight won't burden your rifle, and the reticle design supports field hunting where quick hold-overs matter. Bushnell designed this scope for practical hunting and sport shooting use.
Start around 4–6x in heavy cover or when game is close; increase to 8–12x when glassing distant terrain or taking longer shots. Many hunters leave it at 8x as an all-around compromise until conditions dictate a change.
