With a versatile 4-20x magnification range, the CRS.3 adapts to various shooting scenarios. It includes precise, dialable elevation and windage turrets for accurate adjustments and an illuminated etched reticle for clear targeting in low-light conditions. The side parallax adjustment ensures fine-tuned focus and eliminates reticle shift. At the same time, its durable 30mm tube construction guarantees long-lasting performance in challenging environments.

The CRS.3 offers two popular RS Series reticles—the SHR-W (MOA) and SHR-MIL (MIL)—designed for precise and effortless aiming. This riflescope delivers exceptional optical performance, featuring phase correction coatings for vibrant color fidelity, a bright, high-contrast image, and unparalleled clarity. Waterproof and fogproof, the CRS.3 is built to perform reliably in all conditions.
