Crimson Trace Brushline 4-12x40mm BDC Reticle Black Anodized Scope, 1" Tube

The Crimson Trace Brushline 4-12x40mm scope delivers serious versatility for hunters who need to work across varied distances and terrain. This second focal plane rifle scope pairs a moderate 4-12x magnification range with a purpose-built BDC reticle that gives you multiple aiming points within each diamond-shaped reticle element—think of it as having three distinct holds per diamond for quick adjustments in the field. It's the kind of optic that performs equally at 20 yards in thick brush and out to extended range when conditions demand it.

Built on a 1-inch aerospace-grade aluminum tube, the Brushline is tough without unnecessary weight. Crimson Trace engineered this scope to handle what the field throws at it: the tube is nitrogen-purged, waterproof, and shockproof, backed by extensive environmental testing. The green multi-coated ELD glass gathers light efficiently, and the aggressive knurling on the mag ring and capped turrets means you can dial adjustments by feel, even with gloves on or in low light. At 16.2 ounces, it won't burden your rifle or slow your swing.

This is a solid mid-range hunting scope for rifles where a fixed-power optic would be limiting but you don't need the complexity of a premium tactical system. The 4x to 12x range handles most big-game hunting situations, the BDC reticle does the math for you once you know your zero, and the durable construction means you'll grab it year after year. If you're after a workhorse scope that balances performance, simplicity, and reliability, the Brushline should be on your shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will this 1-inch tube scope fit?

The 1-inch tube diameter is the standard mount for most modern rifle platforms. You'll need standard 1-inch scope rings to attach it to your rifle's Picatinny or Weaver rail.

Is this scope waterproof and fogproof?

Yes. The Brushline is nitrogen-purged, waterproof, and shockproof. It's been through extensive environmental testing to ensure it handles wet conditions, temperature swings, and the bumps that come with field use.

What does the BDC reticle do?

The custom Crimson Trace BDC reticle gives you multiple aiming points within each diamond element—three holds per diamond. Once you establish your zero at one distance, you can use the secondary hold points to estimate elevation at longer ranges, reducing the need to dial the turrets if you know your approximate distance to target.

Can I dial out the parallax, or is it fixed?

This scope has a side parallax adjustment set at 100 yards, so you can fine-tune it if you're shooting at significantly different distances. It's not fixed, but it's also not a front-focus parallax system like higher-end scopes.
