Zeiss V8 1.1-8×24 Riflescope with Reticle 54
The Zeiss V8 1.1-8×24 with Reticle 54 is a high-specification hunting riflescope designed for driven hunts and woodland stalking, where fast target acquisition is essential. The 8x zoom range allows effective shooting from close quarters at 1.1x, where both eyes can remain open for full situational awareness, up to precise long-range shots at the highest magnification.
The scope features an extra-large eyebox, wider than the human pupil, providing generous eye placement flexibility and enabling quick target acquisition under pressure. Reticle 54 is Zeiss’s driven-hunt optimized reticle, featuring a second-image-plane crosshair with a fine horizontal bar for height correction and weapon tilt reference. The central illuminated dot is deliberately small to avoid obscuring the target at any magnification setting.

The Zeiss V8 1.1-8×24 has been a game-changer for my woodland hunting. The 1.1x setting lets me keep both eyes open and stay aware of my surroundings. The Reticle 54 is sharp and easy to use, especially in dim light. The illuminated dot is clear and doesn’t distract from the target. I’ve used it in both close and medium-range shots with excellent accuracy.

I appreciate the large eyebox — it makes it easy to find the target quickly even when moving. The reticle is well-designed with the horizontal bar helping me adjust for height and tilt. The zoom range is very useful for different hunting scenarios. Very reliable and precise.

The scope performs well in most conditions. The illumination helps in early morning or dusk hunting. The reticle is easy to read, though the dot is small and may be hard to see in very low light. Overall, a solid choice for driven hunts.
