The Simmons S8P3940 is a 3-9x40mm rifle scope built to deliver reliable performance for hunters and range shooters who want dependable glass without unnecessary frills. Its 8-point reticle design—the Truplex pattern—gives you a straightforward aiming solution across varied hunting conditions. The matte black finish resists glare and blends naturally with most rifle setups.
What sets this scope apart is its attention to adjustment reliability. The SureGrip system gives you tactile, audible click feedback on both elevation and windage corrections in 1/4-MOA increments, so you know exactly where you are when you're dialing. The TrueZero elevation and wind adjustment mechanism is engineered to stay locked at your zero even through field use and transport—a feature that matters when you're counting on repeatability. The QTA eyepiece is designed for quick target acquisition without fiddling, getting you on target faster in the moment that counts.
Optically, fully coated glass delivers brighter, higher-contrast images, which translates to better target definition in the field. At 3x magnification, you're looking at a 31.4-foot field of view at 100 yards—plenty of picture for hunting. Crank it to 9x and that tightens to 10.5 feet for precision work at distance. The 40mm objective keeps the scope trim and balanced on most rifles, while the 3.75 inches of eye relief gives you safe, comfortable positioning behind the gun. Total weight is 13.2 ounces.
This is a workhorse scope: effective, honest, and built to earn trust over seasons of use. Whether you're hunting medium to long range or putting rounds downrange at the bench, the Simmons 3-9x40 delivers the clarity and adjustment integrity hunters have relied on for years.
