For many shooters, the 3-9X40 scope represents the best tool for their use. The 3X offers a wide field of view and the 9X setting is perfectly adequate for ranges well past 300 yards. It also provides the shooter with excellent light transmission, generous 3.75" to 4" eye relief, slip-resistant knurled turret covers, zoom and ocular bell rings, and lightweight construction that is durable beyond normal use. With excellent performance and durable lightweight construction, the Axeon 3-9X40 rifle scope is an ideal tool for most shooters and one of the best rifle scopes for the money.
