Bushnell R5-41240S25 R5 Black 4-12x 40mm 1" Tube Illuminated DOA-LRH800 Reticle

The Bushnell R5 4-12x40mm rifle scope is a versatile centerfire hunting and range optic built for shooters who want quality glass without unnecessary complexity. This 1-inch tube scope bridges the gap between close-range hunting and mid-distance precision, making it equally at home on a whitetail rifle, varmint gun, or general-purpose centerfire. The illuminated DOA-LRH800 reticle gives you a usable aiming point in low light without requiring batteries to function, and the side-focus mechanism lets you dial in sharp images at any distance without changing your cheek weld.

Bushnell engineered the R5 around their HD optical system, which prioritizes light transmission, contrast, and resolution—the fundamentals that matter when you need to see your target clearly and hold your shot with confidence. Fully multi-coated lenses maximize light gathering, while the etched reticle design means your aiming point stays true regardless of coating wear or handling. The real-world durability features matter too: EXO Barrier lens coating sheds water, oil, and dust so your glass stays clear in the field; IPX7 waterproof and nitrogen-purged construction means fogging isn't a concern even when temperatures swing wildly. The aircraft-grade aluminum 1-inch tube is shockproof and built to survive hard use.

This is a scope for hunters and riflemen who value reliable optics over trendy marketing. The 4-12x magnification range handles everything from 50-yard brush hunting to 300-yard open country shooting, and the 40mm objective gathers enough light for early-morning and late-afternoon hunts without being unwieldy on most rifle platforms.
