The Bushnell R3 3-9x40mm rifle scope delivers straightforward, reliable magnification for shooters working at moderate distances. Built on a 1-inch tube and topped with the Drop Zone 22LR reticle, this scope is purpose-built for rimfire hunting and target work where quick target acquisition and intuitive holdover compensation matter. Whether you're hunting small game or zeroing rifles on the bench, the R3's optical design and reticle system keep you focused on the shot.
The Drop Zone 22LR reticle is the real workhorse here. Unlike generic crosshair systems, this reticle is optimized for the ballistics of .22 LR ammunition, giving you multiple aiming points calibrated to common shooting distances. That means less math, faster shooting, and better hits when ranges vary across your hunting ground or range session. The 3-9x magnification range covers close work and extends your reach when you need to glass distant targets before committing to a stalk.
Bushnell R3 scopes are known for solid optical clarity and rugged construction—they're not fancy, but they earn their keep in the field and on the range. The 40mm objective gathers plenty of light for dawn and dusk hunting, and the 1-inch tube is the industry standard, making rings and mounts straightforward to source. This is a scope that gets out of your way and lets you focus on hunting.
| Magnification | 3-9x |
| Objective Lens Diameter | 40mm |
| Tube Diameter | 1 inch |
| Reticle | Drop Zone 22LR |
| Brand | Bushnell |
| Model | R3-3940S4 |
The Drop Zone 22LR reticle indicates this scope is optimized for .22 LR rimfire ballistics and hunting applications. If you're shooting centerfire rifles, confirm that the reticle's holdover points align with your specific cartridge and your expected shooting distances before committing to a hunt.
The 1-inch tube is the standard diameter used across the industry. Any standard 1-inch scope rings and mounts from major manufacturers will fit. Make sure to choose rings that match your rifle's mounting system (Picatinny rail, dove-tail, etc.).
The Drop Zone reticle includes multiple aiming points calibrated for the trajectory of .22 LR ammunition at different distances. Rather than guessing holdover or dialing elevation, you can use the appropriate reticle point for your range, speeding up sight-picture and improving hit probability.
The 40mm objective lens collects a good amount of light for dawn, dusk, and overcast hunting conditions. For the brightest image, look for scopes with larger objectives (50mm or more) or specialized low-light optics if you hunt primarily in dark conditions.
