Built for Australian hunters and sport shooters who want serious optical performance without the serious price tag, the ZeroTech Thrive X 3-9x40 PHR 3 BDC Turret Riflescope delivers a genuinely capable package across a versatile magnification range. The 3-9x40 configuration covers everything from close-bush shooting at lower power through to mid-range accuracy at 9x, making it a practical choice for hunting, culling, and range work alike. A glass-etched PHR 3 reticle sits in the second focal plane and is calibrated at 9x, giving you a clean, precise aiming point that pairs directly with the included BDC turret system. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium with an IPX7 waterproof rating and fully multi-coated lenses, this is a scope engineered to perform in field conditions, not just on a shelf.

ZeroTech Thrive X 3-9x40 PHR 3 BDC Turret Riflescope Key Features

• Magnification and Objective: 3-9x variable magnification with a 40mm objective lens provides a practical zoom range for hunting and range use, with enough light-gathering capability for low-light conditions at dawn and dusk.
• Main Tube: 30mm tube diameter machined from 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, offering a strong, lightweight platform and compatibility with a wide range of 30mm rings and mounts.
• Weight: 534g overall, keeping the additional load on your rifle manageable across long days in the field.
• Reticle: Glass-etched PHR 3 reticle in the second focal plane (SFP), non-illuminated. Calibrated at 9x magnification, meaning holdover points and BDC references are accurate at full power.
• BDC Turret System: The included adjustable BDC turret features five individually lockable custom reference markers and can be reconfigured on the fly to suit different loads or zero distances, without tools. A standard capped elevation turret dial is also included if you prefer a conventional setup.
• Click Value and Adjustment Travel: 0.25 MOA per click with 60 MOA of total elevation and 60 MOA of windage travel, giving you substantial correction range for zeroing and field adjustments across various distances.
• Fixed Parallax: Parallax fixed at 100m (109 yards). This eliminates the complexity and additional moving parts of a side-focus knob, keeping the scope clean and straightforward for the majority of hunting and range distances where this scope will be used.
• Field of View: 37.7 feet (11.49m) at 100 yards on 3x, narrowing to 12.6 feet (3.84m) at 100 yards on 9x, providing a wide view at lower magnifications for tracking game and a tighter, more precise picture at long range.
• Eye Relief: 3.3 inches (8.38cm) of eye relief, providing a safe and comfortable distance from the eyepiece under recoil.
• Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: Multi-coating applied to all air-to-glass surfaces maximises light transmission and reduces glare, contributing to a bright, high-contrast image across the magnification range.
• Waterproof Rating: IPX7 rated, meaning the scope is submersion-rated to 1 metre (3.28 feet) for up to 30 minutes. Internally nitrogen-purged to prevent fogging.
• In the Box: Ships with a neoprene stretch-fit scope cover, microfibre cloth, reticle chart, hex key, spare grub screws, and a welcome card.

The ZeroTech Thrive X 3-9x40 is a well-specified, field-ready scope that punches well above its price point. Whether you're setting up a dedicated hunting rifle or looking for a reliable range optic, the BDC turret system, robust construction, and quality glass make it a standout option in the entry-to-mid-range bracket.
