Bushnell R3-61850S11 R3 Black 6-18x 50mm 1" Tube DOA Quick Ballistic Reticle

The Bushnell R3 6-18x50mm riflescope is a hunting optic built for shooters who need reliable performance across variable light and terrain. With its 1-inch tube, fully multi-coated glass, and DOA Quick Ballistic reticle, the R3 delivers the combination of magnification range, durability, and fast aiming solutions that serious hunters demand—whether you're threading timber for whitetail or scanning open country for distant targets.

The DOA Quick Ballistic reticle is the R3's standout feature. Instead of forcing you to dial your turrets or do math on the fly, this reticle gives you holdover points calibrated for common hunting cartridges at typical hunting distances. That means faster sight pictures and more confidence on game when seconds matter. The 6x to 18x magnification range keeps you flexible: enough power for precise placement at range, enough lower end for close-quarters hunting situations and quick target acquisition.

Bushnell's EXO Barrier lens treatment is practical field insurance. It repels water, oil, and debris, keeping your glass clear when conditions are wet, dusty, or both. The scope is fully waterproof—essential for serious hunting seasons. Multi-coated optics throughout mean better light transmission in dawn and dusk conditions, when most hunting actually happens. The 1-inch tube is standard and robust, engineered to withstand recoil and rough handling season after season.

The R3 is a straightforward, purpose-built hunter's scope—no unnecessary features, proven components, and a design that prioritizes accurate first shots over complexity.
