Copperhead 3-9x40 Riflescope (CPH-309)

The long eye relief, locking diopter, and fully multi-coated lenses are just a few of the reasons this riflescope will be a crowd pleasing favorite.

Construction Features

  • Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: Constructed from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and rigidity.

reticle

Deadhold-BDC MOA Reticle

  • The customized design of this reticle helps eliminate guesswork on hold-over and windage corrections. Good for hunting and shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold-over is a concern.
  • Second focal plane (SFP) reticles are located near the scope’s eyepiece behind the image erecting and magnifying lenses. This style of reticle does not visually change in size when you change the magnification. The advantage of an SFP reticle is that it always maintains the same appearance. Listed reticle subtensions used for estimating range, holdover, and wind drift correction are only accurate at one particular magnification.

SPECS

  • Adjustment Graduation: 1/4 MOA
  • Travel Per Rotation: 15 MOA
  • Max Windage Adjustment: 60 MOA
  • Parallax Setting: 100 yards

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice budget scope, good for a bolt gun
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2022
This is a good quality scope for the price. It has a few limitations though.

The pluses? It is capable of being accurately sighted in and of shooting better than most people are capable of shooting. The reticle is good out to a couple hundred yards, and the verticle and horizontal hashmarks on the reticle lines are nice for on the fly adjustments for wind and distance. It's a good piece of gear and is going to land on a hunting oriented bolt action in my house eventually.

Downsides - the windage and elevation adjustment knobs are not confidence inspiring or precise - the clicks are muddy and sometimes worth 1/4" of MOA, sometimes they aren't. The reticle is a bit thick for targets out past a couple hundred yards, could be a bit finer.

And last, a neutral point, neother positive or negative, maybe because of the size it seems a little recoil sensitive, easily shifted a little, rotated in the scope mounts if they are only torqued to spec, with mounts on a pic rail. The scope doesn't lose function, it just rotates in theount. It will hold if over torqued but I don't like doing that,bit is bad practice. This isn't a big deal for a bolt gun but this is currently on a 308 DPMS pattern semiauto, and I sometimes burn a hundred rounds at the range. I think the size of the scope and the amount of bouncing around of the the semi-auto action with recoil is tough on the mounts. I think it has more to do with my choice of gun and it wouldn't be a problem with a small or mid-caliber center-fire bolt gun which may be fired 20 times total at the range and which doesn't have an action violently slamming back, then forward. Might be fine in an AR 15 pattern rifle due to the reduced recoil and movement, but I haven't tested that.

I am going to switch to a smaller more tactical optic for this gun but definitely keeping this very nice scope for hunting use. As my picture shows it's easily possible to get a tight group using this scope and it has nice functionality with the 3-9 adjustment and hash marks on the reticles. I would buy it again.
