Bushnell Ar Optics 3-9x40 Dz 223 Blk

The Bushnell AR Optics 3-9x40 DZ 223 Black riflescope delivers a versatile magnification range and specialized reticle calibration built specifically for AR platform shooters using .223/5.56mm ammunition. This scope combines a classic 3x to 9x power magnification range with a fixed 40mm objective lens, providing excellent light gathering and a wide field of view across engagement distances from close quarters to extended ranges. The Drop Zone-223 reticle is precisely calibrated for .223 ammunition ballistics, allowing shooters to hold center mass and let the reticle do the ranging work without constant turret adjustments.

Built on Bushnell's proven 1-inch aluminum tube construction, this AR optic features exposed turrets for rapid windage and elevation adjustments in the field. The side parallax adjustment dial ranges from 10 yards to infinity, eliminating parallax error and ensuring precise shot placement across all distances and shooting positions. The target turrets provide positive mechanical feedback and allow shooters to dial environmental corrections without removing their sight picture, a critical capability during tactical scenarios or precision rifle work. At 1.94 pounds, the scope adds minimal weight to the platform while maintaining the structural rigidity required for AR recoil management.

This configuration serves law enforcement trainers, military support roles, competitive shooters, and serious sport shooters who rely on the .223 platform for intermediate-range accuracy. The 3-9x magnification meets the demand for variable power on tactical AR builds, allowing low-power fast-acquisition shooting at close range and higher magnification for target confirmation and precision work. The Do-All philosophy of the AR Optics line makes this scope equally at home on patrol rifles, competition builds, or hunting carbines, delivering consistent optical performance across diverse mission profiles.
