Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40mm BDC 223/5.56 Reticle Scope - Black Anodized, 1" Tube
Crimson Trace
The Crimson Trace Hardline 2-7x32mm rifle scope is built for shooters who demand durability without compromise. From tactical applications to precision target work, this 1-inch tube scope delivers the versatility and ruggedness that separates field-ready glass from showroom queens. The variable 2-7x magnification range handles everything from close-range hunting to extended target work, while the BDC Blackout reticle gives you a purpose-built aiming solution tuned for intermediate distances and real-world scenarios.
Crimson Trace engineered the Hardline line from the ground up with abuse in mind. The aerospace-grade aluminum construction means it'll survive a drop, a bash against a truck bed rail, or years of hard use in the field. Nitrogen purging keeps internal optics dry in wet conditions, and the fully multi-coated green optics deliver 90% light transmittance—crucial when you're trying to pick out details in low light. The 88.9mm of eye relief gets you back on target fast, even when you're running the scope on a harder-recoiling rifle or wearing body armor.
Second focal plane placement keeps your reticle subtension consistent across the magnification range, making holdovers and wind calls straightforward whether you're glassing at 2x or dialed to 7x. Quarter-minute exposed turrets let you dial corrections without taking your eye off the scope, and the compact 11.47-inch length keeps overall rifle weight and balance reasonable. At just over 11 ounces, this scope won't tip the scales or throw off your handling.

The Hardline fits any standard rifle with a 1-inch scope ring mount. The front and rear mounting lengths (50.2mm and 53mm respectively) are typical for standard receiver rings, but verify your specific rifle's mounting interface before purchase to ensure proper fit and clearance with your barrel and action.
The 2-7x magnification range and BDC Blackout reticle make this scope well-suited for hunting applications at intermediate ranges. The waterproof, nitrogen-purged construction and durable aerospace aluminum body handle field conditions, and the generous eye relief helps you maintain situational awareness while at the scope.
BDC stands for Bullet Drop Compensator. The Blackout reticle is calibrated to provide holdovers and reference points for mid-range shooting applications, allowing you to aim and adjust for bullet drop without constantly turning turrets. The second focal plane design means the reticle subtensions remain consistent at all magnification levels.
