Crimson Trace Brushline 3-9x50mm BDC Reticle Rifle Scope - Black Anodized, 1" Tube

The Crimson Trace Brushline 3-9x50mm BDC rifle scope brings practical magnification and ballistic compensation to hunters and shooters who want reliable glass without unnecessary bulk. Built on a 1-inch tube design that balances optical capability with a lightweight footprint, this scope delivers the kind of no-nonsense performance Crimson Trace is known for—purpose-built, not overengineered. The BDC reticle lets you hold true at distance without constant elevation adjustments, making it equally at home on a varmint rifle, hunting platform, or dedicated range gun where mid-range magnification and fast target acquisition matter.

The 3-9x magnification range covers most hunting and shooting scenarios: low power for quick close work in brush or timber, high power for precision at distance. The 50mm objective gathers solid light without the weight penalty of larger bells, and the black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion while keeping the scope trim on the gun. At 16.2 ounces, it won't unbalance your rifle's handling or bog down a lightweight build.

Crimson Trace has spent decades earning trust in the shooting sports by focusing on durability and real-world utility. This scope reflects that philosophy: honest magnification, a reticle system that works, and construction that holds zero through field use. Whether you're scouting new country, dialing in loads, or taking game at moderate distances, the Brushline 3-9x50 performs without drama.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BDC reticle and how does it help at distance?

A BDC (Ballistic Drop Compensator) reticle is a holdover system built into the reticle itself. Instead of constantly adjusting your turrets for different distances, you hold at the appropriate aiming point marked on the reticle. This speeds up target transitions and lets you stay on game without losing sight picture to dial adjustments.

What rifles and mounts work with the 1-inch tube?

The 1-inch tube diameter is the most common standard for rifle mounts and rings. It will fit the vast majority of hunting rifles and tactical platforms with standard Weaver or Picatinny rails. Verify your specific rifle's mount compatibility, but 1-inch rings are widely available and affordable.

Is this scope suitable for hunting, or is it more of a range optic?

The Brushline 3-9x50 is equally at home hunting or on the range. The low-power setting works well in dense cover, the mid-range magnification suits open country, and the BDC reticle gives you the precision needed for confident distance shots on game. Many hunters carry 3-9x as their primary hunting scope because of its flexibility.

How much eye relief does this scope provide, and is it enough for larger recoil?

The Brushline has 4 inches of eye relief—a comfortable distance that suits most rifles and shooting positions. Standard 1-inch riflescopes with 4 inches of eye relief will generally handle typical hunting and target shooting recoil without issue.
