For many shooters, the 3-9X40 scope represents the best tool for their use. The 3X offers a wide field of view with the 9X setting perfectly adequate for ranges well past 300 yards. This scope delivers on both of these accounts but also provides with the shooter with excellent light transmission, generous 3.75" to 4" eye relief, slip-resistant knurled turret covers, zoom and ocular bell rings, and lightweight construction that is durable beyond normal use.
