Bushnell Trophy 3-9x50mm Matte Black Riflescope with Multi-X Reticle, 1" Tube

The Bushnell Trophy 3-9x50mm riflescope is a reliable, hard-working optic built for hunters who need a versatile scope that performs across varied hunting distances and light conditions. With its 3 to 9 power range and 50mm objective lens, this 1-inch tube scope delivers the light-gathering power and magnification flexibility that centerfire hunters depend on—whether you're glassing timber at first light or making a longer shot across open country. The matte black finish blends into modern and traditional rifle platforms alike, and the compact design keeps your rifle balanced and packable.

Bushnell packed this scope with features that matter in the field. Fully multi-coated optics and 91% light transmission mean you get the brightness you need when conditions fade, while the sealed, nitrogen-filled tube stays waterproof and fogproof through weather swings and temperature changes. The one-piece tube with integrated saddle provides rock-solid mounting security, and the fast-focus eyepiece lets you dial in your target quickly without fussing. Quarter-minute windage and elevation adjustments give you precise, repeatable corrections, and with 50 inches of total adjustment range, you can dial in at nearly any distance without hunting for zero.

The Multi-X reticle is a timeless, uncluttered choice—clean enough to see through clearly, but substantial enough to hold on target in dim light or at distance. At 4 inches of eye relief, the scope plays well with a variety of rifle stocks and shooting positions, and the field of view spans from 38 feet at 100 yards on low power down to 13 feet on high power, keeping your target in frame whether you're scanning or zoomed in.

This is a scope for hunters who value no-nonsense performance and durability without paying for features they won't use. Build a dependable rifle around it, and it'll hold zero and keep working season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms and calibers work with this scope?

The Bushnell Trophy 3-9x50mm with 1-inch tube mounts to any rifle with a standard 1-inch scope mounting system and picatinny or weaver rail. This includes most centerfire hunting rifles chambered in common calibers like .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .270 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and others. Always verify your rifle's rail system before purchasing rings and bases.

Is this scope suitable for long-range hunting?

The 3-9x magnification and compact design make this scope well-suited for traditional to moderate hunting distances—50 to 300 yards is its sweet spot. While the optics deliver quality glass at distance, hunters regularly shooting past 400 yards often prefer higher magnifications (10x or higher) to maximize precision on smaller targets. For close to medium-range big game hunting across varied terrain, this scope is versatile and reliable.

What's the difference between the Multi-X reticle and other reticles?

The Multi-X is a traditional crosshair design with thicker posts that taper to finer center lines. This design holds steady on target in lower light and at lower magnifications—ideal when hunting in dawn or dusk—while the fine center gives you precision when dialed up to 9x. It requires no rangefinding or holdover calculations; you simply aim and adjust for wind and distance with the scope's turrets.

Will this scope stay mounted securely during hard shooting?

Yes. The one-piece tube with integrated saddle provides a rigid, unified mounting platform. Paired with quality rings and bases torqued to spec, this design resists shift or creep from recoil. The scope is also shockproof, meaning it's engineered to maintain zero through the abuse of hunting and shooting.
