Given the price point of the Crimson Trace Brushline 3-9x40mm Bullet Drop Compensation reticle in matte black, this is one of the most versatile glass-based optics for rifle shooters and hunters in a crowded marketplace. The proprietary second focal plane CT Custom Bullet Drop Compensation reticle is etched with multiple diamond patterns below the crosshair to ensure that you can easily put a shot on target regardless of the range. The rigorous testing and construction checklist will make any shooter searching for a sub $200 USD glass optic take, at least, a double take at the Crimson Trace Brushline Pro portfolio. Made from aerospace aluminum, this 40mm objective lens glass optic features a 1 inch tube diameter which gives it a plethora of options for mounting, and has an overall small and sleek footprint of 2.3 inches wide, by 2.3 inches high, by 12.3 inches long. There is significant mounting surface on the scope tube with 2 inches forward and behind of the capped turrets which offer a plentiful 95 MOA of windage and elevation adjustability range, respectively. At 3x magnification, the field of view is 33.9 ft, and at 9x magnification, the field of view as 11.3 ft.
Features:
- Beautiful aesthetics while still utilizing an excellent user interface
- 3x to 9x magnification
- 40mm objective lens diameter gives 90% light transmittance and a proprietary, highly-durable AR coating on the optics
- Premium specifications and excellent user interface that defies the price point.
You can’t talk about the Brushline PRO catalog of glass-based optics from Crimson Trace without at least a casual mention at how good they look, given their somewhat-tactical slant, the matte black, flawless finish and the beautiful, minimal lines and user interface. The eye relief on this scope is 3.5 inches; fixed. It features a non-illuminated reticle. The entire package weighs in at 14.1 oz and the optics offer a 90% light transmittance with a green-colored, multi-coated anti-reflective coating which helps with durability and color fidelity and allows premium feel without the premium price. Crimson Trace has made huge strides in the glass-based optics segment of the market as they have priced their product well. This is especially true when you factor in the massive hurdles they have self-imposed through the rigorous testing and engineering program and their excellent warranty and repair program. Crimson Trace glass-based optics are a contender for any rifle shooter in need of market beating specifications, durability, and value price point.
