The Truglo Intercept 3-9x42mm illuminated BDC hunting scope brings versatility and bright glass to the field for hunters who need flexible aiming options without the premium optics price tag. This is a workhorse hunting scope that covers everything from whitetail to varmint work, with practical features built in for real-world conditions—winter gloves, rugged terrain, and optics that stay clear when the weather doesn't cooperate.
The scope's illuminated glass-etched reticle works with or without power, so you're never stuck if the battery goes dead; switch to the black crosshairs and keep hunting. The 3-9x magnification handles everything from close brush work to open-country shots, and the 42mm objective lens gathers enough light for low-light hunting without bloating the tube diameter. Truglo designed this optic with aggressive grip texturing on the zoom ring and turret caps specifically so you can make adjustments without stripping your gloves off—a detail that matters when the temperature drops or you're working through brush.
Build quality is straightforward: covered turrets with an indexing zero system and a one-screw design let you slip the dial back to zero after dialing in a shot. Nitrogen-filled and multi-coated glass keep the image bright and clear, while the matte finish kills reflection. The 3.75–4.10 inch eye relief gives you a comfortable sight picture from most shooting positions. Water resistance and fog-proofing round out the package—this scope will stay on zero and keep functioning in the conditions where you actually hunt.
Truglo includes a neoprene cover to protect the glass in the field, and that rubber-coated focus wheel won't torque your hand during those critical last-light adjustments.
| Magnification | 3-9x |
| Objective Lens Diameter | 42mm |
| Reticle Type | Illuminated glass-etched, duplex or BDC options |
| Eye Relief | 3.75–4.10 inches |
| Finish | Matte black |
| Construction | Nitrogen-filled, multi-coated |
| Weather Sealing | Water-resistant, fogproof |
| Turrets | Covered hunting turrets with indexing zero |
| Included Accessories | Neoprene scope cover |
Yes. The 42mm objective lens and multi-coated glass are designed to maximize light transmission, making this scope effective during low-light hunting periods. The illuminated reticle adds another option if you need a lit aiming point, and the glass-etched design lets you use the black crosshairs without power if needed.
That's exactly what Truglo built this for. The zoom ring and turret caps feature aggressive grip texturing so you can adjust magnification and wind/elevation without removing your gloves. The covered turrets also protect against accidental contact or snow and ice buildup.
The scope includes a neoprene cover to protect the glass when you're traveling or storing it in the field.
The duplex is a traditional crosshair design for hunters who prefer a simple, clean sight picture. The BDC (bullet drop compensating) reticle is MOA-based and includes holdover marks to help you compensate for bullet drop at distance without dialing the turrets—useful if you're shooting known distances and want to hold rather than adjust.
