The Bushnell R3 4-12×40 Rimfire DZ22 Riflescope (Bushnell part no. R3-41240S4) is a 4-12x40mm scope built for small game hunting and range days with a .22 LR rifle. Its DZ22 BDC reticle is optimized for .22 LR trajectories and gives easy holdovers out to 125 yards, which takes the guesswork out of squirrel and rabbit shots. Multi-coated lenses and EXO Barrier lens protection keep the image bright and the glass clear in damp weather. The aircraft-grade, one-piece tube is IPX7 waterproof and recoil rated. Bushnell covers it with the Lifetime Warranty.
