Traditions 3-9x40 Rifle Scope with Range Finder Reticle - Matte Black

The Traditions 3-9x40 rifle scope with range finder reticle is purpose-built for muzzleloader hunters who need reliable magnification and a practical aiming system in one compact package. This matte black scope pairs a versatile 3-9x magnification range with a dedicated range finder reticle, giving you both the flexibility to shoot at varied distances and the tools to estimate range when seconds count in the field. Whether you're hunting whitetail at 50 yards or glassing a ridge at 200, the variable power lets you dial in the magnification that fits your distance and lighting conditions.

Traditions engineered this scope to handle the punishment that comes with muzzleloader hunting. The one-piece nitrogen-filled tube design keeps internal optics protected from moisture and temperature swings, while the multi-coated lens system cuts through low-light conditions without sacrificing the edge you need at dawn or dusk. The 3-inch eye relief gives you comfortable gun clearance, and the rubber fast-focus eyepiece lets you dial in a sharp sight picture quickly. Raise your head an inch and adjust—no fumbling, no frustration.

Adjustments are straightforward and solid. Quarter-minute MOA windage and elevation turrets with raised finger controls make corrections easy even when you're wearing gloves or have cold hands. The high-torque power ring turns smoothly without creeping, and the waterproof, shockproof, fogproof construction means this scope won't let you down in rain, snow, or after a hard recoil. All weather reliability in a no-nonsense design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scope designed for muzzleloader hunting?

Yes. The Traditions 3-9x40 is built specifically for muzzleloader hunters and includes a range finder reticle to help you judge distance in hunting situations.

What does the range finder reticle do?

The range finder reticle uses its markings to help you estimate how far away a target is, giving you a tool for quick distance judgment without relying on external rangefinders.

Will this scope hold up in bad weather?

Yes. The nitrogen-filled one-piece tube design is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, making it reliable in rain, snow, and temperature changes typical in hunting conditions.
