Bushnell ILLUMINATED DOA LRH800 SCOPE R5 6-18X50
The Bushnell ILLUMINATED DOA LRH800 SCOPE R5 6-18X50 is a variable magnification rifle scope built for hunters and precision shooters who need reliable glass at distance. The 6-18x50 magnification range and illuminated reticle make it equally at home on a long-range hunting rig or at the bench, giving you the flexibility to dial from mid-range shots to stretching it out when the opportunity demands it. Bushnell engineered this scope with a fully multi-coated optical system that maximizes light transmission, contrast, and resolution—critical when you're glassing across a ridge or making a shot in low light.
What sets this scope apart is attention to the details that matter in the field. The reticle is etched directly into the glass rather than printed, which means it stays crisp and precise no matter what. The illuminated DOA aiming system helps you acquire your target quickly, especially in variable light. The optics are protected by Bushnell's EXO Barrier lens coating, which repels water, oil, dust, and debris—the kind of grime you pick up in real hunting conditions. Internally, the scope is nitrogen purged to stay fog-proof even when you're moving between temperature extremes, and it's sealed to IPX7 waterproof standards so weather won't compromise your shot.
Built tough, the single-piece 1-inch tube is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and shock-resistant, designed to handle recoil and the bumps of field use. The side focus wheel lets you dial in a precise focus at any range without adding extra length to your overall setup. This is a scope that doesn't ask you to choose between capability and ruggedness.
