Bushnell Trophy R5 Rifle Scope 3-9x50 1" DOA LRH800 Black

The Bushnell Trophy R5 3-9x50 rifle scope is a dependable workhorse for hunters and shooters who need a versatile optic that handles everything from close-range hunting to mid-distance target work. Built around a 1-inch single-piece aluminum tube, this scope combines rugged construction with optical clarity and a straightforward reticle design that gets out of the way and lets you focus on the shot.

What sets the Trophy R5 apart is the combination of practical lens coatings and weatherproofing that actually hold up in the field. The fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission for a bright sight picture in low light, while Bushnell's exclusive EXO Barrier lens coating sheds water, oil, dust, and debris without degrading your view. The scope is sealed nitrogen-purged and rated IPX7 waterproof and fog-proof, so temperature swings between a cold dawn and a warm afternoon won't cloud your glass. The reticle is etched directly into the glass for crisp, precise aiming without the fragility of thin wires.

Side focus adjustment makes ranging easy without lengthening the tube, and the aircraft-grade aluminum construction is shockproof enough to handle the recoil of centerfire rifles. The DOA 800 reticle is calibrated for deer-hunting distances, and the 3-9x magnification range covers most hunting scenarios without sacrificing field of view at lower powers. This is a scope that rewards careful setup and honest use—not flashy, but genuinely hard to break or see through in difficult conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scope waterproof and fog-proof for hunting in wet weather?

Yes. The Trophy R5 is sealed, nitrogen-purged, and rated IPX7 waterproof, which means it can handle immersion and heavy rain. The nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging even during temperature swings, so you can hunt through cold mornings and warmer afternoons without your glass clouding up.

What does the DOA 800 reticle do?

The DOA 800 is an etched glass reticle calibrated to assist with holdover at distances up to 800 yards, making it useful for hunters working beyond typical hunting ranges. The reticle is mechanically precise since it's etched into the glass rather than relying on thin wires.

What mounting systems work with the 1-inch tube?

The 1-inch tube diameter is the standard for most rifle scope rings and mounts sold for centerfire hunting rifles. You'll need standard 1-inch scope rings appropriate to your rifle's receiver and mounting base.

How does the side focus work?

The side focus knob lets you adjust the image focus for your vision and range without moving the scope or adding length to the tube. This keeps the scope compact and balanced on your rifle while still allowing quick focus adjustments between different distances.
