The Simmons SPT3940 ProTarget 3-9x40mm delivers reliable magnification for hunters and target shooters who need consistent performance without breaking the budget. This variable power scope combines proven optics with rugged construction to handle everything from close-range shots to precision work at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic fixed-power scopes, the SPT3940 offers true 3x to 9x variable magnification with smooth power ring adjustment throughout the entire range. The 40mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk hunting while maintaining a compact profile that won't add unnecessary weight to your rifle. Multi-coated lenses provide clearer images and better light transmission compared to single-coated alternatives in this price range.
