Crimson Trace Brushline Rimfire Rifle Scope, 4-12x40mm, BDC-Rimfire Reticle, Matte Black, 1" Tube

The Crimson Trace Brushline Rimfire Rifle Scope is a 4-12x40mm optic built specifically for rimfire hunters and shooters who demand reliability without excess weight. Built on an aerospace aluminum tube design, this scope keeps your rimfire rifle nimble in the field while delivering the optical clarity and durability you need for small-game hunting or precision .22 work. The Brushline line was engineered from the ground up to match the demands of hunters, and this 4-12 power variable delivers the flexibility to work at close quarters or reach out when conditions allow.

The scope features fully multi-coated green lenses for light transmission and contrast in hunting conditions, and a nitrogen-purged, waterproof construction that stands up to weather and hard use. The 1-inch tube diameter is a standard fit for most rimfire mounts and platforms. The second focal plane BDC-Rimfire reticle places the bullet-drop compensation at true aim when you're zoomed to maximum magnification, making holdover calculations straightforward for hunting distances. With ½-MOA click adjustments and capped turrets that won't snag, you get practical refinement tuned to rimfire ballistics rather than over-engineered for centerfire distances.

At just over 14 ounces, the Brushline doesn't burden a lightweight rimfire setup, and the 88.9mm eye relief keeps you comfortable behind the eyepiece. Crimson Trace backs every scope with a lifetime warranty and stands behind the Brushline with customer support you can count on when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the BDC-Rimfire reticle, and how does it work?

The CT Custom BDC-Rimfire reticle is a bullet-drop compensation pattern specifically designed for common rimfire cartridges and hunting distances. It's positioned at the second focal plane, which means the holdover marks are calibrated for true aim when the scope is at maximum (12x) magnification. This lets you hold over or under targets within typical rimfire hunting ranges without calculating complex ballistic drop.

Is this scope compatible with standard rimfire rifle mounts?

Yes. The 1-inch tube diameter is a standard fit, and the scope comes with rear and front mounting lengths of 52mm and 61.1mm respectively, which are typical for rimfire platforms. Check your specific rifle's mount type, but this scope will work with any standard 1-inch two-piece mount.

Will this scope work for long-range rimfire shooting or just hunting?

The 4-12x40 magnification and BDC-Rimfire reticle are purpose-built for rimfire hunting and short to mid-range shooting. While you can use it for range work, the reticle is optimized for hunting distances and rimfire ballistics rather than extreme extended-range or benchrest shooting, which typically demands higher magnification or different reticle systems.

How much weight does this scope add to my rimfire rifle?

At 14.016 ounces, the Brushline is a lightweight optic that won't burden a small-game or hunting rifle. The aerospace aluminum construction keeps it nimble so you can maintain the inherent handling advantages of a rimfire platform.
