For my needs this scope is great for the price. I had never used a scope before, so didn’t want to spend a bundle on one to learn with - especially if it turns out I didn’t like it. I now have 2 of these. I put one on a Ruger Pistol Caliber Carbine 9mm. I like the ghost ring iron sights, but my eyes are now old and I can’t see the sights or the target depending on whether or not I have my contacts in. I also shoot a rifle with my non dominant eye, so a scope is very helpful. This scope and mounting rings is perfect for the rifle - I can still use the scope and see the iron sights through the mounts - they are not blocked. My other one is on a 1968 Remington Speedmaster 552. I did have to buy Weaver mount rings to fit that gun. It does block the regular sights. The magnification is also helpful to see where you hit the target without walking to wasting range time bringing the target in to see it. So this with my vision needs makes this a perfect inexpensive match for learning scopes and general plinking. It was pretty easy to sight in the old fashioned way. Adjustment is easy and does not require tools - just fingers. So far minimal to no readjustment has been needed, noting I hand hold the gun when I sight it, so accuracy is dependent on my not so great aim. But I can now consistently hit a 2” square at 75 feet (longest area at my range - I need to go to a 100 yard range & get a rifle rest to really dial them in) Scope feels quality and has a good appearance. I don’t use the red/green lights much but they work nicely. The flip up lens covers work well. For what I do, this has proven to be a great value for the price. Review: Good quality. - Good quality and price. ## Features - PINTY 3-9x40 Rifle Scope ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09K3P1GSF | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,193 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #33 in Rifle Scopes | | Brand Name | Pinty | | Color | Sand | | Compatible Devices | Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (4,894) | | Included Components | PINTY 3-9x40 Rifle Scope | | Magnification Maximum | 9 x | | Magnification Minimum | 3 x | | Manufacturer | PINTY | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Mounting Type | Picatinny Mount | | Night vision | No | | Objective Lens Diameter | 40 Millimeters | | Product Style | Classic | | Reticle Type | SFP | | Sport Type | Hunting | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pinty - **Color:** Sand - **Compatible Devices:** Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun - **Magnification Maximum:** 9 x - **Magnification Minimum:** 3 x - **Material:** Aluminum - **Mounting Type:** Picatinny Mount - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 40 Millimeters - **Sport:** Hunting - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![3-9x40 Rifle Scope with Red/Green Illuminated Reticle & Rangefinder, Multicoated Lens with Mounts for Picatinny Rail - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C2H-rrTWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can rifle iron sights still be seen under scope?** A: I can still see mine. I have it on a Hi-Point 9mm carbine that has everything you can buy for it. If you can't on your model rifle you can buy taller scope rings for a few dollars more. I also bought one for my Browning A5. This has a peep site so it works really nice on that. I have a really expensive scope on my .22 and the quality of this scope is just as good. **Q: Can this be used on an air rifle?** A: Yes it can, but chances are you will need smaller scope mounts. This scope comes with 20mm scope mount clamps and my Crosman break-barrel uses 11mm dovetail claps. They have 11mm dovetail scope mounts on Amazon for $7.99. **Q: How far is it effective and can I put it on a Mosin Nagant?** A: It is effective with no parallax within 100 yards. Once it is beyond 100 yards, you might need to estimate the drop distance of the bullet. This scope fits all standard 20mm picatinny rail. **Q: Will it stand the recoil of a 30-06 bolt action?** A: Probably, I have it on my AR and it hasn't shifted any, worst case scenario, it can't, and you have a decent scope for a smaller rifle. If it can, please put it in the reviews, as I want to mount it on a 32 Winchester special lever gun I'm building. 😁 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good at this price point. *by C***D on August 1, 2021* First, I am not trying to be a sniper and don’t need to shoot things too far away - recreational target shooting is main use.

I have several rifles, so I figured I'd throw it on one of them, and see if it was worth the money. My initial intent was to put it on my CZ 452, which I did. This required a different set of rings than the ones that are sent with the optic, but that was an easy fix. End result was awesome, if you're okay with a huge scope on a rifle...with one exception. The only way I could mount it resulted in the front bell of the scope resting on the rear sight of the rifle. I was worried that this could flex the optic, and affect its performance, so I went with plan B. The optic now sits atop one of my long range AR-15s, which meant that the original scope rings could be used after all. Score. Now, I didn't have high hopes for this optic. But three things made me take a chance on it. First, even though it has a lighted reticle, it's also got a black reticle, when the lighted option is turned off. I hate magnified optics that rely on batteries for their usefulness. So that was already a point in its favor. Second, it's cheap. Worst case scenario, I spent as much as dinner and a movie would cost (at least), if you were taking someone worth the time out for that sort of thing (If they're worth it, don't be cheap, fellas). And lastly, the turrets were hand adjustable. I don't see why the concept of a knurled knob is so difficult for so many optic makers to grasp, but they should all come that way, in my opinion. So those three things, I decided to get the scope, despite my low expectations as to the function. On to that.... This thing was great. I sat at a 100 yard range, and focused in on individual stalks of reeds in the brush above the berm. I was quite impressed with the clarity of such a low priced optic. Eye relief is awesome, so you don't have to struggle to find the sweet spot while mounting. Once I had the optic set up the way I wanted it, turret adjustments were distinct and easily noticeable, with both audible and tactile clicks. The only thing I disliked about the setup was having to re-focus when changing distances. The focus on the end made it hard to work the adjustment while staying on the scope, which was necessary to fine tune the focus. That's going to be an issue with any focus system like this, but this one seemed quite stiff, and made adjustment take longer than I'd like. This would be fine for punching holes in paper, but if you had to do it to take game, competition, or for any shot that required speed, you're going to have issues. Not insurmountable issues...but issues, none the less. So how did it shoot? This optic was one of the easiest to get on paper, and sight in, that I've had in quite some time. I basically Billy Bobbed it onto paper (Kentucky windage until I saw that it punched a hole, then adjusted accordingly to get it closer to where I wanted it), and then dialed it in at 30 yards. It held its zero from shot to shot for the duration of approximately 30 rounds of 5.56 (actual 5.56...not .223. So a bit snappier recoil than the .223 ammo. I figured it was worth mentioning, in case anyone cared) during the sighting in phase. Now, it was about 40 degrees, with the ocassional breeze dropping it down to approximately -68 degrees (I'm going by my best guess on that second assessment. It felt pretty damned cold to me, so I was freezing my ass off. YMMV. Moving on...), so admittedly I didn't put in my due diligence putting this scope through the paces. I didn't drop it or, much with it to test how resilient it was in holding zero, but I can say that, at 30 yards, I created a single hole grouping of 3 shots with this optic, after speed zeroing it (See pic). Now, this isn't that impressive with this powerful of an optic, at such a close range (but, aside from spreading the group out a bit, a 30 yard zero should be fairly close to a 100 yard zero), and I didn't have the chance to stretch it out after that (I was in no mood to dawdle in that kind of cold), but I'm pretty impressed with that kind of performance out of a cheap optic, especially considering the less-than-methodical manner in which I was assessing it, and the weather conditions. If I hadn't been cold as I was, I could have probably tightened that group up a bit. I have yet to check it, but from initial inspection, I believe it's possible to reset the zero on the optic, as well. If that's the case, I'll bump this rating from a 4 star to a 5, since I was on the fence as to whether I should just give it a 5 star to begin with. The only reason I did was because I have yet to be able to put this through some torture testing, long range shooting, and such things as resetting the turrets. If you're looking for a light duty long range optic, something for the rifle you rarely shoot, or something to use while you're saving up for your Nightforce, Leupold, Schmidt & Bender, Zeiss, or US Optics scope of choice, this is a handy little option, with the added benefit that buying it won't set you back much monetarily on your journey to purchase one of the previously mentioned optical powerhouses. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pinty 3-9X40 Red Green Rangefinder Illuminated Optical Rifle Scope - LONSEL Dovetail to Picatinny Rail Adapter 11mm Dovetail to 21mm Picatinny/Weaver Rail Convert Mount - Low Profile Scope Riser Rail Adaptor - Base Mount 3/8" to 7/8" Converter - LONSEL 1'' Dovetail Scope Rings, 2 Pack High Profile or Medium Profile 1 Inch Scope Mount Rings for 11mm Dovetail Rails --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/511668888-3-9x40-rifle-scope-with-red-green-illuminated-reticle-rangefinder](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/511668888-3-9x40-rifle-scope-with-red-green-illuminated-reticle-rangefinder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
