ZeroTech Thrive 3-9x40 PHR 3 30mm SFP

ZeroTech Thrive 3-9x40 PHR 3 30mm SFP is your ultimate companion for precision shooting and hunting adventures. Engineered for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and rapid target acquisition, Thrive delivers a field-ready solution that performs in the toughest conditions.

Built around a robust 30mm maintube and capped turrets offering 0.25 MOA adjustments, this riflescope balances precise elevation and windage with a compact profile. The focal plane option is Second (SFP), and you can choose between the PHR 3 reticle for meticulous holdovers and the ZEROPLEX reticle for fast, instinctive aiming. The PHR 3 reticle brings a nod to traditional crosshair precision with modern enhancements for high-speed shooting on moving targets, while the ZEROPLEX reticle shines in speed-focused disciplines where clarity and simplicity are key.

Clarity in any condition is a core promise thanks to the weather shield lens coating that repels moisture, resists smudges, and reduces glare. Even in rain, snow, or dusty backcountry environments, your sight picture remains sharp and consistent. The included soft neoprene cover adds an extra layer of protection during treks, hikes, and practice sessions, safeguarding the lenses from abrasion and impact as you navigate rugged terrain.

From a practical standpoint, Thrive is designed to meet the needs of both precision hunters and tactical shooters. The scope features 60 MOA internal elevation adjustment and 60 MOA internal windage adjustment, ensuring you have ample adjustment range for long-range shots and side-to-side corrections on challenging courses. There is no built-in zero stop, which keeps the design streamlined while preserving reliable return-to-zero performance in field setups. Parallax is fixed for simplicity and repeatability, ensuring consistent focus at your chosen distance. Exit pupil ranges from a generous 13mm down to 4.4mm, providing usable eye relief across the magnification spectrum and ensuring a comfortable view from a variety of cheek welds and head positions. Eye relief itself spans 88–97mm, which is ample for both novice shooters and seasoned marksmen wearing helmets, with or without eye relief constraints.

The THRIVE family includes models with both traditional riflescopes and red-dot configurations, and ZeroTech has built the Thrive line upon more than 50 years of optical expertise. This specific model weighs approximately 540 grams, a balance of lightness and robustness that suits both backcountry hunts and long-range day trips. Objective lens diameter is 40mm, offering a solid balance between light gathering and compact size for a dependable field of view at 3–9x magnification. The 40mm objective, coupled with the 13–4.4mm exit pupil, ensures a bright sight picture at lower light levels while maintaining crisp resolution at higher magnifications. The 12.9 meters per 100 meters field of view at the low setting, and 4 meters at high, gives you a usable view that adapts to both stalks and rapid target acquisition.

The THRIVE experience is not just about the hardware; it’s about the practical tools that accompany you in the field. Your purchase includes a precision-engineered instruction manual, a reticle range chart for enhanced accuracy, and a premium microfibre cloth for effortless lens maintenance. These resources complement the built-in capabilities of the scope, helping you train, zero, and consistently tighten your groups. The clarity and reliability across shots are essential for both long-range precision and fast follow-up shots, and Thrive delivers on that promise.

Reticle options and performance

Two distinct reticles give you the flexibility to tailor the optic to your style of shooting. The PHR 3 SFP reticle is designed to bridge traditional crosshair precision with modern capabilities, making it the ideal choice for hunters who need pinpoint accuracy during initial holds and later shot corrections. The PHR 3 reticle streamlines holdovers without clutter, so you can maintain speed in dynamic scenarios. If you prefer speed and simplicity, the ZEROPLEX reticle is a favorite for shooters who require fast sight alignment and intuitive aiming under time pressure. Both reticles are available in the Second Focal Plane, ensuring your holdovers remain consistent as you adjust magnification, which is especially helpful when transitioning between ranges on a hunt or competition course.
