The Trijicon Ascent 3-12x40 SFP Rifle Scope BDC Target Holds Black (SKU AT1240-C-2800002) is a 3-12x variable rifle scope on a 30 mm tube, with a second focal plane BDC Target Holds reticle etched in black and no illumination.
How It Compares
The Ascent is Trijicon's straightforward variable-power line: fully multi-coated, nitrogen-filled, capped 1/4 MOA turrets, and no battery or tritium to think about. At 3-12x40 this is the general-purpose member of the range, where the Trijicon Ascent 1-4x24 rifle scope BDC Target Holds is the low-power option for close work. Both carry the same etched BDC Target Holds reticle, so holds read the same way on either. Browse all rifle scopes or the full Trijicon optics range.
Ideal For
- Stalking and general rifle work across mid-range distances
