Either way, the one-piece 1-inch tube gives you the durability to trust it in the field. For deer camp, the back forty, or a mountain hunt, the R3 keeps things simple and effective.

Specifications woven together
At the heart of this scope is the Multi-X reticle, a classic hunting design that keeps your sight picture uncluttered for quick, confident shots. The 1-inch, one-piece tube provides the structural strength to hold zero through recoil and rough handling. Choosing the 50mm objective gathers more light for dawn and dusk, while the 40mm keeps the setup lighter and lower.
Every lens carries multi-coatings topped by Bushnell’s EXO Barrier, which molecularly bonds to the glass to repel water, oil, dust, and debris. That means a clearer view in rain, snow, and dust when the shot matters most. The reticle and coatings together make the R3 a genuinely capable low-light hunting optic.
Setup, care, and compatibility
Mount the R3 in quality 1-inch rings on your rifle, level the reticle, and zero at your preferred distance. The Multi-X reticle rewards a solid zero and a bit of practice with your load. Find matching rings and bases in our optics collection.
Care is easy thanks to the EXO Barrier, which sheds the elements and keeps cleaning to a minimum. Wipe the glass gently when needed, keep the caps on in transit, and lean on the lifetime unconditional warranty for peace of mind.
A classic that just works
Some hunting scopes chase every feature under the sun, and some simply do the job right. The R3 belongs in the second camp. The clean Multi-X reticle gives you an uncluttered sight picture that is fast to acquire and easy to shoot, with no distracting hash marks to hunt through.
The choice of objective size lets you tailor the scope to your hunt. Go with the 50mm for maximum light in timber and at last light, or pick the 40mm for a lighter, lower-mounting setup on a walking rifle.
The EXO Barrier coating is the quiet standout, shedding water, oil, and dust so your glass stays clear when the weather turns ugly. Back that with a lifetime unconditional warranty and you have a scope you can hunt hard for years without a second thought. Mount it low and level, sight it in with your chosen load, and it becomes the kind of scope you forget is even there. That simple reliability is exactly what most hunters actually want in the field.
For a dependable, no-nonsense hunting scope, the Bushnell R3 Multi X earns its spot. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
