Sabre X3 3-9x42 AO riflescope on its dovetail rings, with numbered markers on its main parts

Shown: X3 3-9x42 AO on the rings from the box

42 mm objective, multi-layer coated. 42 mm on the AO models, 40 mm on the 3-9x40 and 4-12x40.
Adjustable objective ring. The 3-9x42 AO models focus the parallax from 9.1 m to infinity on a ring with a printed distance scale.
3/8 inch dovetail rings, included. Every X3 ships with 1 inch rings for the 3/8 inch (11 mm) grooved receiver of a rimfire or spring air rifle, so it is scoped the day it arrives..
Capped elevation turret. 1/4 MOA clicks, 7 mm at 100 m, 60 MOA of travel, under a screw-on cap that keeps the zero where you left it..
Capped windage turret. Same clicks for left and right, same cap.
1 inch (25.4 mm) tube. The classic rimfire tube: light, and it fits the 1 inch rings in the box or any 1 inch Sabre ring set.
3x zoom power ring. 3x to 9x on the 3-9 models, 4x to 12x on the 4-12x40.
Eyepiece and 80 to 85 mm eye relief. Generous eye relief for a rimfire or springer, and a reticle focus you set once.

Choose your reticle

Half Mil Dot. Hold over, hold off, and range.

Pick a model, then slide the power. Every X3 carries the HMD Half Mil Dot: dots every half mil on both axes for holding over a rabbit at 80 m or ranging a fox against a fence post. Second focal plane, so the dots are true at the power they were drawn for.

X3 · A closer look

Scoped the day it arrives, from rimfire to air rifle

A 1 inch tube, a 3x zoom, the Half Mil Dot reticle and a set of 3/8 inch dovetail rings in the box. Here is what the X3 gives a rimfire, a small-calibre centrefire or a springer.

Adjustable objective from 9.1 m

On the 3-9x42 AO models a ring on the objective focuses the parallax from 9.1 m to infinity, with the distances printed on it. At air-rifle and rabbit ranges that is the difference between the dot on the target and the dot beside it.

Dovetail rings, included

Every X3 comes with 1 inch rings for the 3/8 inch (11 mm) grooved receiver of a rimfire or spring air rifle. Nothing else to buy before the first shot.

Capped turrets, 1/4 MOA clicks

7 mm at 100 m per click and 60 MOA of travel, under screw-on caps. Set the zero and forget it.

HMD Half Mil Dot

Dots every half mil on both axes: hold over for the drop, hold off for the wind, and range a known-size target against the dots. The illuminated 3-9x42 AO lights the centre for dull light.

Rain, fog and recoil, kept out

Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, nitrogen purged, and light: 346 g for the 3-9x40, 660 g for the AO models. Backed by the Sabre lifetime warranty for the first owner.
