Bushnell
The Bushnell R7 2-10X42 SFP is a versatile second focal plane rifle scope built for hunters and range shooters who want solid optical performance without complexity. With a 2-10X magnification range and 42mm objective lens, this scope handles everything from close-range hunting to mid-distance target work—the kind of all-around capability that makes it a natural fit in a truck bed or mounted on a general-purpose hunting rifle. The fiber MOA reticle and matte black finish round out a straightforward, no-frills design that prioritizes durability and clarity over bells and whistles.
The second focal plane (SFP) design means the reticle stays the same apparent size regardless of magnification, a time-tested approach that works well for hunters who value simplicity and quick acquisition. The MOA-based reticle gives you holdover marks for wind and drop, useful whether you're dialing or holding at extended range. Bushnell's ED glass delivers clean, bright images across the magnification range, letting you make confident shots in variable light—dawn hunts, overcast days, or the golden hour when game tends to move.
This is the kind of scope that earns its place through consistency and reliability rather than exotic features. It's not built for extreme long-range precision or competition shooting, but for a hunter or shooter who needs a straightforward, dependable optic that won't break the bank or demand a learning curve, the R7 checks the box. The 42mm bell gathers enough light for dim conditions, and the 2-10X range covers the distances most field hunters actually shoot.
| Brand | Bushnell |
| Model | R7 |
| Magnification | 2-10X |
| Objective Lens Diameter | 42mm |
| Reticle Type | Fiber MOA (Second Focal Plane) |
| Finish | Matte Black |
Yes. The 2-10X magnification range and 42mm objective make it well-suited to typical hunting scenarios, from thick brush to open country at moderate distances. The fiber MOA reticle supports holdover shooting if you need to estimate lead or drop.
In a second focal plane scope, the reticle stays the same size in your eye at any magnification level. This makes it fast and intuitive to use—you don't have to re-learn your reticle marks when you zoom. The trade-off is that precise measurements are only accurate at one specific magnification (usually full power). For hunting and general shooting, SFP is simpler and faster than first focal plane.
The 42mm objective and ED glass provide solid light transmission for dawn and dusk hunting, though this is not an extreme low-light optic. For deep woods or very dim conditions, a larger objective (50mm or 56mm) would gather more light.
MOA (minute of angle) reticle marks let you hold over for bullet drop or wind drift without dialing the turrets. If you know your distance and ammunition's ballistics, you can use the marks to aim above or beside your target to compensate for bullet fall or wind—useful for hunters who prefer hold-over shooting to turret adjustment.
