Zeiss V8 1.8-14×50 Riflescope with Reticle 60 and ASV H & S Turrets
The Zeiss V8 1.8–14×50 hunting riflescope features a 1.8–14× magnification range and a 50 mm objective lens, providing a field of view of 23 metres at 100 metres on the lowest setting. This ensures excellent situational awareness at close range, while the higher magnification settings deliver clear targeting for long-range woodland and hill shots.
The Zeiss T* multi-coating enhances light transmission to 92%, maintaining bright, clear images during low-light conditions such as dawn and dusk — critical times for hunting.
The Reticle 60 is an illuminated plex design with a central dot that subtends 0.55 cm at 100 metres when using 12× magnification. This ensures precise aiming without obscuring the target.
