The Crimson Trace Hardline Rifle Scope, 3-9x40mm, second focal plane, with a bullet-drop-compensating reticle calibrated for .223/5.56 (Crimson Trace part no. 01-01240), is purpose-built for tactical and target shooters who need a scope that can take a beating and hold zero. The line is built from the ground up around an aerospace-grade 1-inch tube designed to handle abuse that would rattle lesser optics, paired with generous eye relief so shooters get back on target quickly after recoil. Fully multi-coated, nitrogen-purged, and waterproof construction keeps the glass clear and the internals dry no matter the weather.
