Truglo 3-9x42 Tactical Riflescope, 30mm, Matte Finish, Illuminated Mil-Dot Reticle, Tactical Mount Included

The Truglo 3-9x42 tactical riflescope is a versatile magnified optic built for shooters who need flexible magnification and reliable target acquisition without breaking the bank. This 30mm scope combines an illuminated mil-dot reticle with tactical-grade construction—a one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube and matte finish designed to handle the demands of hunting, tactical training, and distance shooting. Whether you're dialing in a .223 or .308, the included flip-up tactical mount gets you running fast, and the dual BDC turrets mean you can swap calibrations on the fly.

The 3-9x magnification range covers most real-world applications: close-to-medium hunting work at 3x, extended target work at 9x, and everything in between. The 42mm objective lens gathers solid light for dawn and dusk hunting, while the rheostat-controlled illuminated reticle gives you low-light visibility when you need it—and a non-illuminated backup if batteries fail. Turrets lock after zeroing to prevent accidental adjustment, and each click counts ¼-MOA for precise holdover or wind correction.

What sets this scope apart for the tactical or precision shooter is the calibration flexibility. Truglo includes two removable BDC target turrets pre-calibrated for common .223 and .308 loads, so you can match your actual ammunition without guessing. The mil-dot reticle itself is functional without illumination, keeping you in the fight even if the light dies. Add the included mount to a flat-top AR or bolt rifle, and you have a complete, ready-to-zero package.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers does this scope come ready for?

The Truglo 3-9x42 includes two removable BDC turret caps pre-calibrated for .223 and .308. You can swap them depending on which rifle you're using, or have both mounted and ready if you run multiple platforms.

Does it work if the battery dies?

Yes. The illuminated mil-dot reticle is fully functional without illumination, so you can continue using the scope in daylight or low-light conditions even if the battery is dead or depleted. The illumination is a feature, not a requirement.

What mount comes with this scope?

A flip-up tactical mount is included with the scope. It's designed for modern flat-top rifles and AR platforms and is ready to attach out of the box—no separate purchase needed.

Is this scope good for hunting?

The 3-9x42 magnification range, 42mm objective, and mil-dot reticle make it well-suited for hunting situations where you need flexibility from close range to mid-distance. The locking turrets and durability of the aluminum construction are built to handle field use.
