Bushnell R7 3-15x50 Riflescope
Designed for hunters needing flexibility from close woodland encounters to longer shots across open ground, the Bushnell R7 3-15x50 combines versatile magnification, premium ED glass and reticle options to suit different shooting styles.
With First Focal Plane (FFP) and Second Focal Plane (SFP) models available, together with a choice of MOA or MRAD adjustments, the R7 3-15x50 can be configured around the individual hunter’s preferences. Whether the priority is straightforward, instinctive aiming or more precise holds and corrections at varying magnifications, there is an R7 3-15x50 to suit the task.
Its 3-15x magnification range offers flexibility in the field. At 3x, the scope provides a useful field of view for closer encounters, while 15x offers greater detail as well as precision at longer ranges.
Choose Between FFP and SFP
One of the main advantages of the R7 3-15x50 is the ability to choose between First-Focal-Plane and Second-Focal-Plane configurations.
In FFP models, the reticle's apparent size changes as magnification is adjusted, so its subtensions remain accurate throughout the magnification range. This makes the FFP version particularly well-suited to hunters who regularly use holdovers, corrections, or dials for longer-distance shots.
The SFP models maintain a consistent reticle size as magnification changes, providing a familiar and uncluttered sight picture across the zoom range. A bright fibre-illuminated centre point draws the eye naturally to the aiming point, making the SFP an excellent choice for hunters who value simplicity and fast target acquisition.
Both configurations are available with MOA or MRAD adjustments, allowing the shooter to choose the system they are most comfortable using.
Premium Glass for Difficult Conditions
At the heart of the R7 3-15x50 is Bushnell ED Prime Glass, designed to provide clarity, contrast and colour fidelity while reducing colour fringing.
Combined with the large 50mm objective lens, the optical system delivers excellent low-light performance when many hunting opportunities arise. Whether identifying an animal against a dark woodland background or picking out details across more open terrain, the R7 is designed to provide a clear, defined sight picture when it matters.
Bushnell’s EXO Barrier® protective lens coating also helps keep external lens surfaces clear by repelling water, oil, dust and debris, which is useful in the variable weather conditions regularly encountered in the British countryside.
Dial or Hold with Confidence
For hunters who prefer to dial their adjustments, the FFP version of the R7 3-15x50 features an exposed Pop-Up Locking Elevation Turret with Zero Stop. This provides repeatable adjustment while helping prevent unwanted movement in the field, with the Zero Stop giving a positive reference when returning to the rifle’s established zero.
The SFP version takes a simpler approach with capped elevation and windage turrets. These protect the adjustments against accidental knocks or movement while carrying the rifle, enhancing the features for hunters who prefer to establish their zero and use the reticle for their normal shooting requirements.
Built for the Field
The R7 isn’t designed to perform well on the range. Its rugged 30mm tube construction is built to withstand hard field use, changing weather, and demanding hunting environments.
The scope is IPX7 waterproof-rated, while a three-position throw lever allows quick, positive changes in magnification. Illumination provides additional help when the aiming point needs to remain clearly visible against difficult backgrounds or in fading light.
From woodland stalking and high-seat hunting to open-hill and longer-range applications, the Bushnell R7 3-15x50 offers a highly adaptable combination of magnification, optical quality, and reticle choice. With FFP and SFP configurations available in either MOA or MRAD, hunters can choose an optic that fits the way they shoot rather than the other way around.
