Strike Systems 3-9x40E Rifle Scope with Illuminated Reticle

The Strike Systems 3-9x40E variable scope is an airsoft optic designed for shooters who want to engage targets at medium and long range without swapping replicas. The 40 mm objective gathers enough light to deliver a usable image even in low-light conditions, while the variable magnification from 3x to 9x lets you move between a wide field of view — useful for close and moving targets — and a magnified view for precise shots at greater distances.

The crosshair reticle is illuminated in red with multiple brightness levels: in backlit situations or dark environments where a black reticle disappears against the background, the adjustable brightness keeps your aiming reference visible without washing out your eye in less demanding conditions. It is worth noting that the illuminated reticle is fixed-plane: unlike a front focal plane solution, the reticle scale is calibrated at a single magnification, which requires attention when estimating distance at intermediate zoom levels.

The eyepiece features fast focus adjustment, allowing the reticle sharpness to be matched to the shooter's eyesight without tools. Parallax is corrected at 91 m, a distance suited to typical outdoor airsoft engagement ranges.

Key points

• Variable magnification 3-9x covers both close-quarters scenarios and longer-range shots without needing to change optics.
• The 40 mm objective provides sufficient light gathering to keep the image clear and bright even in poor lighting conditions.
• The red illuminated reticle with multiple intensity levels lets you adapt reticle visibility to field conditions without losing your aiming reference.
• The eyepiece fast focus adjusts by hand, eliminating dead time between position changes.
• Parallax correction at 91 m is set to the actual engagement distance for outdoor airsoft, reducing aiming error without manual adjustment.
