Description

If you're looking for a compact rifle scope with full functionality, the Delta Armory 3-9x40 Illuminated Short Rifle Scope is the one to go for. Despite its super short overall length (less than 20cm), this variable magnification scope offers 3-9 x adjustable zoom and the choice of red or green illuminated reticle colours in 5 different brightness settings. If you run an accurized platform with minimal rail space this scope is ideal. 

Packaged with a set of 25mm scope rings for 20mm Picatinny rails, the 3-9x40 Illuminated Short Rifle Scope is ready to mount on any Airsoft gun with a 20mm rail. The rings are simple to install, but if you're struggling, check out our Scope Mounting Guide. If you prefer a dual ring mount or higher or lower profile rings, fear not! You can use any scope rings for 25mm monotube scopes, giving you plenty of mounting options. 

The illumination adjustment dial is on the left side of the optic, offering 5 brightness settings for both red and green reticle illumination. Which colour you use is up to you; we recommend using whichever stands out best in your operating environment. Adjustable brightness is also very useful, allowing you to clearly see your reticle in both low light and bright sunlight with a quick turn of the dial. 

Inside the illumination turret, you will find the battery compartment, accessible by unscrewing the top cap either by hand or using a flathead screwdriver. Pop your CR2032 3V button cell (included) inside with the positive terminal facing outwards, reinstall the top cap and you're ready to rock. 

Zero adjustment is provided by a pair of capped turrets, one on the top and one on the right side of the monotube. Unscrewing the caps reveals the adjustment dials which can be turned by hand or using a flathead screwdriver. The elevation adjustment is on the top, providing up and down adjustment, and the windage adjuster is on the right, controlling left-to-right reticle movement.

The radial magnification adjustment dial is located at the rear, surrounding what is known as the "eyebell" of the scope. This dial allows you to adjust magnification from 3x all the way up to 9x, ideal for both engagement at long range and target identification. Thanks to its serrated surface the dial is very easy to turn, allowing you to get the appropriate amount of zoom quickly, even in wet weather. 

At the rear of the eyebell, we have what is known as the "fast focus dial". This allows you to quickly adjust focus for different ranges and get the clearest view of your unfortunate target. This is a neat feature to find in such an affordable scope, ensuring you don't get any blurriness regardless of the range of your objective. 

If you appreciate a scope with a wide range of magnification adjustment and isn't the length of a child's baseball bat, the Delta Armory 3-9x40 Illuminated Short Rifle Scope is the right optic for you. Perfect for platforms with less rail space, DMRs or sniper rifles, this small scope will be a big enhancement for any long-range platform!
