Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 4-16x42 BDC

• 4-16x magnification range: Covers the gap between close woodland shots and more deliberate longer-range holds, so one riflescope can handle general hunting as well as more precise shot placement.
• 42 mm objective with fully multicoated lenses: Helps maintain a bright, usable image and better contrast in the low-light periods when game is often most active.
• CT Custom BDC Pro reticle: Gives the shooter multiple aiming references without dialing turrets, making holdovers faster and more intuitive in the field.
• Second focal plane design: Keeps the reticle visually consistent through the zoom range, which many hunters prefer for a clear sight picture at higher magnification.
• Capped turrets and side parallax adjustment: Protect the settings during transport while still allowing the image to be tuned for distance when precision matters.

About the Crimson Trace Brushline Series

The Crimson Trace Brushline series is positioned as a hunting-focused riflescope family built around straightforward field use rather than tactical complexity. In Crimson Trace’s lineup, Brushline sits apart from the Brushline Pro range and centers on practical hunting configurations with familiar magnification classes such as 3-9x and 4-12x, objective sizes of 40 mm and 50 mm, and reticle options tailored to common sporting rifles.

A defining trait of the series is its use of second-focal-plane reticles and a simple, traditional scope layout that suits stalking, stand hunting, and general-purpose rifle setups. Crimson Trace offers the series with CT Custom BDC and CT Custom BDC Rimfire reticles, including a design that uses diamond aiming references to provide multiple hold points in a clean visual format. The Brushline concept emphasizes familiar handling, non-illuminated reticles, and 1-inch tube construction, giving hunters a scope that remains easy to mount, easy to understand, and well matched to rifles carried over long distances.

About the Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 4-16x42 BDC

The Crimson Trace Brushline Pro 4-16x42 BDC is a variable-power hunting riflescope designed for shooters who want more top-end magnification than a classic deer scope without moving into a heavier long-range setup. Its 4-16x magnification range makes it useful for load development, varmint work, and open-country hunting where precise shot placement matters, while the 42.00 mm objective lens keeps the scope relatively trim for a rifle that still needs to carry well.

This model uses a CT Custom BDC Pro reticle in the second focal plane, a layout that keeps reticle size constant as magnification changes. In practice, that gives the shooter a clean, familiar sight picture at lower power and a reticle that remains easy to see when zoomed in for more exact aiming. Because the reticle is non-illuminated, the image stays uncluttered and the scope remains focused on daylight and low-light hunting use rather than electronic features.

The mechanical layout also reflects that purpose. Capped turrets help prevent accidental adjustment while moving through brush or carrying the rifle in a vehicle or scabbard, and the 1/4 MOA click value supports conventional zeroing with fine enough correction for practical field accuracy. Side parallax adjustment lets the shooter sharpen the target image and reduce apparent aiming error at varying distances, which becomes increasingly important at higher magnification. With a 343.00 mm length and 535.00 g weight, the scope stays manageable on a hunting rifle while still offering the reach and aiming precision expected from a 4-16x optic.

About Crimson Trace

Crimson Trace was established in 1994 and built its reputation around firearm aiming and illumination products. The company is especially known for laser sights and firearm-mounted lights, with product families such as Lasergrips, Laserguard, Rail Master, and Lightguard forming a large part of its identity. It also produces riflescopes and rangefinders, extending that experience into hunting and shooting optics.

A notable part of the brand’s design philosophy is Instinctive Activation, which uses pressure-pad placement intended to work with a normal shooting grip. Crimson Trace operates a facility in Columbia, Missouri, United States, and its product range reflects a focus on practical sighting systems for defensive, sporting, and hunting firearms. In riflescopes, that background shows in optics built around clear reticle function, straightforward controls, and configurations intended for real field use.
