Bushnell Banner 2 3-9x40

• 3-9x magnification range: This classic hunting zoom range stays quick and easy to use at lower power for shorter shots, while 9x gives enough image scale for more precise placement at longer distances.
• 40 mm objective lens: The objective balances light-gathering ability with a practical overall size, helping the scope remain bright enough for typical field use without adding unnecessary bulk to the rifle.
• Capped hunting turrets: The capped adjustment design protects the settings from brush, knocks, and accidental movement, which is especially useful on a stalking rifle that is carried more than it is dialed.
• Multi-coated optics: The coated lens surfaces improve contrast and image brightness, making targets easier to pick out in mixed light and helping the sight picture stay clear through the full magnification range.
• Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction: The sealed build is made for changing weather, temperature shifts, and recoil, so the scope remains dependable during regular hunting use in the field.

About the Bushnell Banner 2 Series

Bushnell Banner 2 is a riflescope series built for hunting use, with an emphasis on straightforward operation, practical magnification ranges, and dependable field durability. In Bushnell’s lineup, the series sits as an accessible option for hunters who want a conventional optic for stalking, general big-game hunting, and all-round rifle setups rather than a specialist long-range or tactical scope. The range includes both illuminated and non-illuminated versions, and some models are offered with an extended-eye-relief layout for rifles that benefit from extra clearance.

A defining feature across the series is the use of a second-focal-plane reticle, which keeps the reticle visually consistent as magnification changes and suits hunters who prefer a familiar sight picture. Banner 2 scopes also use multi-coated optics and waterproof construction, giving the series a practical balance of image quality and weather resistance for regular outdoor use. Within the family, selected models use the DOA Quick Ballistic reticle, which adds holdover references at 100-yard intervals through 500 yards, while the Dusk & Dawn variants place more emphasis on low-light hunting performance.

About the Bushnell Banner 2 3-9x40

The Bushnell Banner 2 3-9x40 is a traditional hunting riflescope built around one of the most versatile magnification formats in the category. Its 3-9x zoom range covers the kind of shooting distances most hunters encounter in the field: lower magnification keeps the image steady and the view more open for closer opportunities, while the upper end gives enough precision for careful shot placement when distance increases. Paired with a 40.00 mm objective lens, the scope offers a practical compromise between brightness, handling, and mounting height on common hunting rifles.

This model is configured for simple, reliable use rather than constant adjustment in the field. The capped turrets protect the elevation and windage settings during transport and movement through cover, which suits a zero-and-hunt approach. With 60.00 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment, there is enough internal travel for normal sight-in work on typical sporting rifles. The fixed 91,44 m parallax setting matches the intended role of a general-purpose hunting scope and avoids adding extra controls that are unnecessary for many users.

In day-to-day use, the scope remains easy to carry thanks to its 419.00 g weight and 312.00 mm length, while the 25.4 mm main tube fits standard 1 inch rings. Multi-coated lenses support a clearer, more usable image, and the waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction helps the scope stay dependable through weather changes, rough handling, and recoil. The result is a straightforward Bushnell riflescope for hunters who value familiar handling and practical field performance.

About Bushnell

Bushnell was founded in 1948 by Dave Bushnell, who began selling optical products from a photographic shop in Pasadena, California. The company built its reputation around sports optics and outdoor equipment, with product lines covering hunting, target shooting, birding, and general nature observation. Its range includes binoculars, riflescopes, red dot sights, rangefinders, spotting scopes, and trail cameras, which reflects a long-standing focus on practical field optics rather than a single niche.

Within the shooting and hunting segment, Bushnell is known for broad model families such as Legend, Prime, Elite Tactical, and AR Optics, serving everyone from casual hunters to more specialized precision and tactical users. The company has also developed proprietary optical technologies such as EXO Barrier, a lens coating designed to repel water, oil, dust, and debris. Bushnell’s place in the market comes from combining established optical know-how with durable, purpose-built designs for real outdoor use.
