Pay attention, you jackwads - this may be confusing to some of you slow kids, so get a friend to help you with this lesson if you need to.
When referring to a scope it's a "3-9x40", which is pronounced "three to nine by forty". It is not a cotdam 3x9x40, or simply a 3x9. A 3x9 would be a fixed magnification at 3x with an objective of 9mm, about the diameter of a soda straw - probably not good for low-light hunting, BTW. 😉
Another example: a 4-15x50 is a "4 to 15 by 50". And so on, etc.
Just had to get that off my chest. Carry on, maggots!

Will bunch up some undies, but a good point just the same.

3 to 9. 3-9. 3x9. Who cares, everyone knows what you're talking about.

I put a 3x9x40 scope on my .243 caliber rifle with two clips for the bullets.

I was just seeing who would respond to that. You’re exactly correct on your scope info.
