Bushnell R3-3940S3 R3 Black 3-9x 40mm 1" Tube Multi-X Reticle$149.95
Availability: In Stock
The Bushnell R3 4-12x40 rifle scope brings proven, no-nonsense performance to hunters and shooters who need reliable magnification without overcomplicating their setup. Built around a 1-inch tube with a 40mm objective, this scope delivers the brightness and field of view that matter in real hunting conditions—whether you're glassing from a stand, working through brush, or setting up on distant game. The R3 is engineered to be tough, repeatable, and honest about what it does: give you a clear sight picture across mid-range hunting distances without the weight penalty or cost of higher-end optics.
The DZ22 BDC reticle is the heart of this scope's practical appeal. BDC stands for bullet drop compensator, meaning the reticle's hold points are calibrated to real ballistic drop curves rather than generic approximations. This lets you dial or hold for shots at different ranges without constantly adjusting your turrets, saving time and mental math in the field. The R3's 4-12x magnification range covers most hunting scenarios: low enough at 4x to keep your field of view wide and target acquisition fast, and high enough at 12x to resolve details on distant animals when you need it.
Built with Bushnell's reputation for durability in mind, the R3 is designed to hold zero through recoil and environmental stress. It's the kind of scope that sits on a rifle, does its job, and doesn't demand constant attention—ideal for hunters who value dependability and straightforward functionality over marketing hype.
| Magnification | 4-12x |
| Objective Lens | 40mm |
| Tube Diameter | 1 inch |
| Reticle | DZ22 BDC |
| Reticle Type | Bullet Drop Compensator |
| Color | Black |
| Model | R3-41240S4 |
A BDC (bullet drop compensator) reticle has multiple aiming points calibrated to account for how much bullets drop at different ranges. Rather than constantly adjusting your turrets, you can hold center at close range, then use the lower hash marks to compensate for bullet drop as distance increases. The DZ22 BDC on this scope is designed around real ballistic curves, making it practical for hunters working out to mid-range hunting distances.
The R3's 1-inch tube diameter is the standard for most modern rifle mounts and Picatinny rails. It will fit any rifle with a standard weaver or Picatinny receiver that accepts 1-inch scope rings—which covers the vast majority of hunting and sport rifles. Check your rifle's mounting system to confirm compatibility.
Yes. The 4x low end keeps your field of view wide and makes fast target acquisition easier in thick cover or brush hunting. The 12x high end gives you enough magnification to clearly see details on distant game. This range covers most traditional hunting scenarios without requiring a narrower, more specialized magnification band.
Based on the product details provided, we have magnification and reticle specifications confirmed. For information about mounting rings, lens covers, or other included accessories, please contact us directly—details on scope-only versus combo kit configurations vary.
