The Simmons SPH41240 ProHunter delivers reliable magnification performance for hunters seeking versatility across multiple shooting distances. This variable power scope bridges the gap between close-range brush hunting and longer precision shots with its 4-12x magnification range and 40mm objective lens.
What Makes This Different
The ProHunter series combines proven optical design with practical hunting features at an accessible price point. The 4-12x magnification range provides three times zoom capability, allowing hunters to adapt from 100-yard shots in thick cover to 300+ yard open field opportunities. The 40mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk hunting while maintaining a compact profile that won't snag on vegetation.
Key Features
- 4-12x variable magnification with smooth power ring adjustment
- 40mm objective lens for improved light transmission in low-light conditions
- 1-inch main tube diameter fits standard scope rings and mounts
- Multi-coated lenses reduce glare and improve image clarity
- Waterproof and fog-proof construction for all-weather reliability
- Duplex reticle provides clear aiming point without cluttering the sight picture
- Generous eye relief accommodates various rifle configurations and shooting positions
Field performance centers on versatility across hunting scenarios. The 4x low-end magnification handles moving targets in dense timber, while 12x high-end power enables precise shot placement on distant game. Nitrogen-filled tube construction prevents internal fogging during temperature changes. The scope maintains zero through recoil from standard hunting cartridges including .30-06, .308 Winchester, and magnum calibers.
