Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40mm BDC 223/5.56 Rifle Scope

The Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40mm delivers precision optics engineered for AR-15 platforms and modern sporting rifles. This variable power scope combines rugged construction with specialized BDC reticle calibration for 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO cartridges.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic hunting scopes, the Hardline features a dedicated Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) reticle specifically calibrated for 223/5.56 ballistics. The etched glass reticle provides holdover points for extended range shooting without guesswork. Multi-coated lenses deliver 95% light transmission while the black anodized finish resists corrosion and wear.

Key Features

• BDC reticle calibrated for 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition
• Variable 3-9x magnification with 40mm objective lens
• 1-inch tube diameter fits standard scope rings
• Fully multi-coated lenses for enhanced light transmission
• Nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed for fog and water resistance
• Black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion
• Fast-focus eyepiece for quick target acquisition

The Hardline performs consistently across temperature extremes and weather conditions. Competition shooters benefit from the precise BDC holdovers for known distance targets, while hunters appreciate the variable magnification for close to medium range shots. The scope maintains zero through repeated recoil cycles and transportation.
