The Bushnell R3 4-12×40 DZ22 rifle scope is engineered for consistent ballistic performance specifically on rimfire platforms. Its 4-12x magnification range provides operational versatility, enabling accurate target acquisition and engagement across varying distances, from close-quarters training to extended range scenarios typical of .22LR rifle applications. The integrated 40mm objective lens efficiently gathers ambient light, contributing to a clear and high-contrast sight picture, even under challenging ambient light conditions. This makes it a robust optical solution for small game management or sustained recreational target practice.
Key Features
DZ22 Ballistic Reticle
A primary feature of the R3 4-12×40 is its DZ22 reticle, specifically calibrated for the ballistic characteristics of common .22LR ammunition loads. This proprietary reticle design incorporates distinct holdover points, allowing shooters to rapidly compensate for bullet drop across various engagement distances without the need for extensive turret manipulation. This integration facilitates rapid target re-acquisition and shot placement.
Magnification and Optical Clarity
The variable 4-12x magnification range allows operators to adapt to diverse shooting scenarios, providing wide field-of-view at lower settings and detailed target observation at higher magnifications. The 40mm objective lens is dimensioned to maximize light transmission, ensuring consistent image fidelity and clarity throughout the magnification spectrum.
Construction and Reliability
Constructed to endure rigorous field use, the Bushnell R3 4-12×40 is designed to maintain zero reliability under dynamic conditions. Its robust engineering ensures consistent performance, positioning it as a dependable upgrade over standard iron sights or basic optical solutions, integrating seamlessly with a wide array of rimfire firearms.
Operational Utility
This optic provides precise shot placement capability for diverse rimfire applications, encompassing varmint control, competitive target shooting, and general recreational firearm use. It is a functional enhancement for any rimfire rifle system, optimizing its utility with common .22LR ammunition.
