Nikon’s INLINE XR scopes make 300-yard shots a reality for hunters shooting today’s accurate inline muzzleloaders.

Featuring the BDC 300 reticle, the INLINE XR 3-9x40 is available in matte, silver or Realtree APG finish, with 5 inches of eye relief to handle the hardest kicking muzzleloaders. It offers ¼-MOA adjustments, quick focus eyepiece and 92 percent light transmission for dawn to dusk brightness.

The INLINE XR’s BDC 300 reticle can be fully optimized to match the drop of virtually any sabot load with Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. Suggested retail price is $229.95 for the matte, $239.95 for the silver and $249.95 for the Realtree APG finishes.

Five Inches of Constant Eye Relief
