The Winchester Supreme 3-9x42mm riflescope delivers consistent optical performance across hunting and shooting applications. This variable power optic combines proven magnification range with reliable tracking for medium to long-range engagements.
What Makes This Different
The Supreme series features fully multi-coated lenses that transmit 95% of available light, providing clear target acquisition in dawn and dusk conditions when standard scopes struggle. The 42mm objective lens gathers significantly more light than compact 32mm alternatives while maintaining reasonable weight and profile. Internal tracking mechanisms are rated for 500+ rounds of magnum recoil without zero shift.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with fast-focus eyepiece for rapid target engagement
- 42mm objective lens with fully multi-coated optics for maximum light transmission
- Traditional Plex reticle provides clean sight picture without cluttered holdover marks
- Matte black finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance
- 1-inch tube diameter fits standard mounting rings and bases
- Nitrogen-filled tube construction prevents internal fogging
- Waterproof and shockproof construction rated for field conditions
Field testing demonstrates reliable performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without tracking drift. The 3x minimum magnification works effectively for brush hunting and close-range shots, while 9x maximum power extends effective range to 300+ yards on medium game. Turret adjustments provide precise 1/4 MOA clicks with positive tactile feedback.
