The Bushnell Prime 3-9x40mm rifle scope brings proven, no-nonsense performance to hunters and shooters who value reliability over complexity. This second focal plane scope pairs a classic 3-9x magnification range with a 40mm objective lens—a combination that's earned its place in cabinets and on rifles across North America for good reason. The Multi-X reticle delivers a clean, intuitive sight picture that works equally well for brush hunting or open-country glassing, without the visual clutter of tactical designs.
Build quality is straightforward and honest. Bushnell's EXO Barrier Protection coating molecularly bonds to the glass, actively repelling water, oil, dust, and debris while resisting scratches from normal field use. The scope is sealed with O-rings and rated IPX7 waterproof—meaning it stays dry even if submerged in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Multi-coated optics across all lens surfaces maximize light transmission and brightness, a genuine advantage in low-light hunting conditions or overcast days when every bit of illumination matters.
The matte black finish resists glint and complements most modern and traditional rifle builds. This scope doesn't chase trends; it's designed for hunters and riflemen who expect their optic to do its job year after year, whether you're hunting whitetail in the South, elk in the Rockies, or zeroing in at the range. If you're after a dependable, mid-range magnification scope with proven durability and a straightforward reticle, the Bushnell Prime is a solid choice.
| Magnification | 3-9x |
| Objective Lens Diameter | 40mm |
| Reticle Type | Multi-X (Second Focal Plane) |
| Finish | Matte Black |
| Waterproof Rating | IPX7 (3 feet for 30 minutes) |
| Lens Coating | Multi-coated with EXO Barrier Protection |
The 3-9x magnification range and 40mm objective make this scope versatile for close- to mid-range hunting—whitetail in timber, general big game in moderate terrain, and varmint work at reasonable distances. The lower end is fast and bright for quick target acquisition in brush; the higher end helps with precision at distance without the weight and bulk of a high-power scope.
Yes. The scope is rated IPX7 waterproof and sealed with O-rings, meaning it stays dry when submerged in up to three feet of water for 30 minutes. Combined with the EXO Barrier lens coating that repels water and debris, it's built to handle rain, snow, and wet conditions in the field.
The Multi-X is a traditional crosshair reticle with fine center crosshairs and thicker outer bars. It offers a clean, uncluttered sight picture and works well for conventional hunting. Unlike busy tactical reticles with hold-over marks, the Multi-X keeps your view simple and is effective when used with a properly zeroed scope and basic rangekeeping.
EXO Barrier is Bushnell's protective lens coating that molecularly bonds to the glass. It actively repels water, oil, dust, and debris, and resists scratches from normal handling and use—keeping your optics clearer and brighter over time with minimal maintenance.
