Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR3 Rifle Scope 3.5-21x50 34mm FFP EQL Black

The Bushnell Elite Tactical DMR3 3.5-21x50 rifle scope is a first focal plane optic built for shooters who demand precision from close range to beyond 1000 yards. This 34mm tube scope combines a wide 6x magnification ratio in a compact, lightweight package—making it equally at home in a precision rifle setup or a hunting rig where you need fast target acquisition and long-range reach. The DMR3 represents the next evolution of Bushnell's proven DMR platform, engineered for serious long-range work without unnecessary bulk.

At the heart of the DMR3 is the EQL reticle with 2/10 MIL marks, paired with enhanced optical elements designed to push light transmission 2% higher than the previous DMR II Pro generation. Bushnell's ED Prime extra-low-dispersion glass minimizes color fringing, giving you the clarity needed to distinguish between marginal hits and center punches downrange. The scope features fully multi-coated optics and an EXO Barrier Protection coating to handle the elements without compromise. A 25-yard parallax setting keeps the system true across the hunting and tactical workload, while RevLimiter Zero Stop technology locks your zero point with confidence—no guesswork, no creep.

Built from billet-aluminum and machined to tight tolerances, the 34mm tube is sealed to IP67 water and dustproof standards with argon gas purge to resist fogging in temperature swings. The turret markings are bold and legible in field conditions, and the multi-position Throwhammer magnification lever gives you control without fumbling. A convenient sunshade is included with both external and internal M56x0.75 threads, so you can stack ARDs, filter holders, or third-party caps as your setup demands. User controls are laid out for fast manipulation in demanding environments—function-first design, not fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scope suitable for long-range hunting and target shooting?

Yes. The 3.5–21x magnification range and compact, lightweight design make the DMR3 effective for both close-range hunting and precision shooting beyond 1000 yards. The wide 6x magnification ratio lets you dial in from shorter distances without excessive tube length or weight.

What does first focal plane (FFP) mean, and why does it matter?

In a first focal plane scope, the reticle size scales with magnification. This means the reticle holds the same relationship to your target at any power you dial—critical for long-range work where you need to trust your holds across the magnification range. The EQL reticle with 2/10 MIL marks is calibrated for this system.

Can I attach accessories to the sunshade?

Yes. The included sunshade features both external and internal M56x0.75 threads, allowing you to mount third-party lens covers, anti-reflection devices (ARDs), filter holders, and scope caps directly to the sunshade without removing it.

How does the RevLimiter Zero Stop work?

RevLimiter Zero Stop is a mechanical lock that sets a hard stop at your zero point on the elevation turret. Once dialed in, the turret will not travel past that position, giving you a fast, tactile reference and confidence that your zero has not shifted during handling or field use.

Is this scope weather-sealed?

Yes. The DMR3 is rated IP67 for water and dust protection, features a sealed 34mm tube, and uses argon gas purging to prevent internal fogging in temperature extremes and humid conditions.
