MountMaster AO 3–9×40 – practical optics with an adjustable objective

Nikko Stirling MountMaster AO 3–9×40 Half Mil Dot combines three particularly useful features: proven 3–9× variable magnification, a 40 mm objective and front-mounted adjustable parallax control.

At 3×, the scope provides a broader overview of the observed area. At 9×, smaller details appear larger, accompanied by a narrower field of view. This makes it a balanced configuration for compatible air rifles, training and lawful sporting applications.

AO (Adjustable Objective) provides parallax focusing from approximately 9.1 metres to infinity. Unlike optics with a fixed factory parallax setting, this model allows users to adjust the focus of the observed image for different distances.

The body has a matte black finish, with Multicoated optical surfaces designed to reduce reflections. Nitrogen filling and protective construction provide resistance to water, internal fogging and shocks.

Eight key advantages of the MountMaster AO

Why is the 3–9×40 AO configuration so practical?

The 3–9× magnification range offers a threefold ratio between minimum and maximum magnification. It provides useful flexibility without unnecessary operating complexity.

The important additional feature is the adjustable objective (AO). It enables the image to be focused for nearer or more distant objects rather than remaining at a single factory-set parallax distance.

The Half Mil Dot reticle adds angular reference marks, while the standard 1-inch tube maintains compatibility with a widely used mounting format.

AO – what does Adjustable Objective mean?

Adjustable Objective refers to a focusing and parallax control positioned around the front objective assembly of the MountMaster AO 3–9×40.

Turning the AO ring changes the optical focus according to observation distance. When the image and reticle are aligned within the optical system, the apparent movement of the reticle relative to the subject, caused by small changes in eye position, is reduced.

∞Focus towards infinity
FrontObjective adjustment ring
Important distinction: AO adjusts the observed image and parallax, while the Fast Focus eyepiece adjusts the sharpness of the reticle for your eyesight. These are different optical functions.
How to use the AO adjustment
STEP 1
Focus the eyepiece first

Look briefly at a bright, neutral background and adjust the eyepiece until the reticle appears sharp.

STEP 2
Choose magnification

Select a comfortable level according to the required field of view and image detail.

STEP 3
Adjust the objective

Turn the AO ring towards the appropriate distance and bring the observed subject into focus.

STEP 4
Check image alignment

With the optic stationary, check that apparent reticle movement is minimal as your eye changes position slightly.

Half Mil Dot (HMD) – additional information in the reticle

Half Mil Dot is a reticle concept using angular references expressed in milliradians. One milliradian corresponds to approximately 1 metre at a distance of 1,000 metres; half a mil represents half that angle.

These reference marks can help experienced users compare the apparent angular dimensions of different objects. Rather than a plain crosshair, HMD provides additional visual information for sporting and training applications.

HMD · HALF MIL DOT
Understanding the reference marks
  • Mil: an angular unit different from MOA.
  • Half Mil: half a milliradian.
  • Reference marks: visual guides for angular comparison.
  • Turret adjustments: expressed in MOA, a different system from the reticle's mil units.

When interpreting angular reticle marks, consider the magnification at which their nominal subtensions apply. Refer to the specific model instructions for calibration information.

Why does this matter? The HMD markings and the turret clicks use two different angular systems — mil and MOA. Their numerical values must not be treated as interchangeable.
Field of view at 3× and 9× – a visual comparison

Field of View (FOV) means the width of the area visible through a scope at a given distance. With the MountMaster AO 3–9×40, this changes noticeably between the lowest and highest magnification.

3× magnification – 11.9 m at 100 m
9× magnification – 4.0 m at 100 m
The bars compare the relative field width using technical specifications; they do not simulate the actual image through the scope.

At low magnification, you can observe more of the surrounding area. At higher magnification, individual details appear larger while the visible sector becomes narrower.

Multicoated lenses and 40 mm objective

The Multicoated optical treatment helps reduce unwanted reflections at glass surfaces and supports useful light transmission and image contrast.

The 40 mm objective offers a sensible balance between physical size and optical capability. Together with 3–9× variable magnification, it forms a practical combination for a variety of daytime observation conditions.

Optics buying guide: objective diameter is not the only measure of image quality. Lens coatings, glass quality, focus settings and selected magnification also influence the viewing experience.
1/4 MOA clicks and mechanical adjustment

The MountMaster AO features adjustment turrets with a nominal 1/4 MOA click value. MOA stands for *Minute of Angle*, an angular unit commonly used for riflescope adjustments.

1/4 MOAClick value
60 MOAElevation range
60 MOAWindage range

A single 1/4 MOA click corresponds to approximately 7 mm at 100 metres. The stated 60 MOA range for each axis describes mechanical adjustment travel rather than the guaranteed accuracy of any particular system.

Included 3/8″ mounts – important compatibility information

One practical advantage of the NMM3940AON package is its included 3/8″ dovetail mounting rings. These are intended for compatible dovetail rails.

This mounting format is sometimes described as an 11 mm-style dovetail interface. Actual compatibility, however, depends on the rail profile and the rings' clamping range.

1″ MAIN TUBE
25.4 mm tube rings

The scope uses a 1-inch tube and is not designed to fit standard 30 mm rings.

3/8″ DOVETAIL
Compatible rail required

The included mounts are designed for dovetail rails and are not universal Picatinny rings.

Practical advice: check your equipment's rail profile before fitting the supplied rings. Picatinny or Weaver interfaces require an appropriate separate mounting solution.
Who is the MountMaster AO 3–9×40 suitable for?
AIR RIFLES
Compatible airgun platforms

AO adjustment, a 1-inch tube and dovetail mounts are useful for suitably matched air rifles. Spring-powered models require separate verification of recoil compatibility.

RIMFIRE PLATFORMS
Compatible sporting equipment

The 3–9× range and Half Mil Dot reticle offer useful features for lawful sporting and training applications.

LEARNING
Understanding optical controls

This model provides an accessible way to learn the difference between eyepiece focus, parallax adjustment and turret corrections.

DAYTIME VIEWING
Varied observation distances

Variable magnification, a 40 mm objective and AO focusing offer practical flexibility during daytime observation.

Practical user guide – operation and maintenance

For comfortable use and long service life, pay attention to correct adjustment, compatible mounting and regular optical care.

01
Safety inspection

Before technical inspection or mounting on a firearm, verify that it is unloaded and follow all applicable safe-handling procedures.

02
Fast Focus adjustment

Look briefly at a bright, neutral background and adjust the eyepiece until the reticle is sharp. Never point the scope towards the sun.

03
Selecting magnification

Use 3× for a wider field of view and gradually increase towards 9× when you need more image detail.

04
Focusing with AO

Adjust the front parallax ring to the observation distance. Fine-tune it as necessary to achieve a clear image.

05
Checking the rings

Confirm mounting compatibility and correct positioning. Follow tightening instructions and avoid excessive force.

06
Cleaning the lenses

Remove dust and grit using a soft brush before wiping. Use clean cloths and cleaning solutions suitable for optical surfaces.

07
Moisture protection

Despite the waterproof construction, dry the scope after use in wet conditions and avoid storing it while damp.

08
Storage

Fit protective lens caps and keep the scope in a dry location away from excessive heat, impacts and abrasive materials.

Safety: never look directly at the sun through the optic. Mounting and mechanical inspections should be performed by a qualified specialist when the user lacks the required experience.
