The Bushnell Nitro Rifle Scope 3-18x56 is a second focal plane optic built for hunters and precision shooters who work the edges of daylight. The 6x zoom range stretches from a wide 3x for moving game at close cover out to 18x for deliberate shots across open country, and the 56mm objective pulls in enough light to keep the illuminated 4A reticle usable at dawn and dusk. Mounted on a 30mm tube, it gives you a deep windage and elevation range with room to dial. Shooters cross-shopping the rest of our centerfire scopes will find this one sits squarely in the do-everything hunting and target class.
Glass is fully multi-coated and finished with Bushnell's external lens treatment that sheds water, oil, and debris to keep the picture clean in weather. The reticle lives in the second focal plane, so it holds the same visual size through the magnification range and the illuminated 4A center stays crisp against dark backgrounds. Capped turrets adjust in 1/4 MOA clicks with 60 MOA of total elevation and windage travel, and the side parallax dials from 20 yards to infinity to sharpen the image at any distance you'd realistically shoot. Eye relief runs 3.9 inches, and the housing carries an IPX-7 waterproof rating. The scope measures 13.7 inches overall and is backed by Bushnell's Ironclad lifetime warranty per manufacturer specifications.
This is a scope for the rifle that does double duty: a deer or hog gun that also sees range time, or a flat-shooting bolt gun where you want both a wide low-power field of view and the reach to thread a tight group at distance. The illuminated reticle earns its keep in timber and the last light of legal shooting hours. If you're matching it to a build, look through our other Bushnell hunting optics or compare it against similar illuminated SFP scopes in this magnification range.
It is a second focal plane (SFP) scope. The 4A reticle holds the same apparent size throughout the 3-18x magnification range, which keeps the aiming point clean and uncluttered at low power and consistent for hunters who hold center.
It has a 56mm objective lens for strong light transmission in low-light conditions and a 30mm main tube. The larger tube provides 60 MOA of total elevation and windage travel, giving you room to dial for longer shots.
The turrets are capped and adjust in 1/4 MOA clicks, with 60 MOA of total travel in both elevation and windage. Side parallax adjusts from 20 yards to infinity to sharpen the image at any practical shooting distance.
Yes. It carries an IPX-7 waterproof rating and the lenses use a fully multi-coated finish with an external barrier coating that sheds water, oil, and debris. It is covered by Bushnell's Ironclad lifetime warranty.
