Last refreshed Jun 22, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A clear, bright scope for the price that most buyers found reliable in the field, though one report of failed windage adjustment means it is worth confirming zero at the range before a hunt.

Overview
The Bushnell R5 is an illuminated riflescope built around Bushnell's HD optical system and fully multi-coated glass, with an EXO Barrier lens coating and IPX7 waterproofing for field use.
Bushnell's own listing text refers to two different magnification ranges, 3-9x50 in the description and 6-18x50 in the model number and DOA-LRH800 reticle name, so confirm the exact power range before ordering. One buyer flagged a quality problem with windage tracking, worth knowing before mounting it and heading to the range.
- HD optical system for contrast and brightness
- Fully multi-coated lenses
- EXO Barrier repels water, oil and debris
- IPX7 waterproof rating
Who it's for
Suits hunters and shooters who want an illuminated reticle scope without paying for a premium optic, especially for low light dawn and dusk hunts. Less suited to shooters who need a guaranteed tight eye box for fast target acquisition, since at least one buyer found the eye box narrow and unforgiving.
Pros and cons
- Bright, clear glass in low light
- Illuminated reticle held zero on a hunt
- Second focal plane reticle design
- Narrow eye box, hard to find quickly
- One reported windage tracking failure
