Zeiss V8 1.8-14×50 Riflescope with Reticle 54
The Zeiss V8 1.8-14×50 with reticle 54 is a true all-round hunting riflescope designed for stalkers, driven-hunt shots, and high-seat work. Its 8x zoom ratio ranges from 1.8x to 14x, combined with a 50mm objective lens and a 30mm main tube, offering a wide 23-metre field of view at 100 metres on the lowest setting and precise targeting at longer distances.
Zeiss T* multi-coating ensures 92% light transmission, delivering bright and sharp images even in low light conditions such as dusk or dawn.
The reticle 54 is located in the second focal plane and features an illuminated dot that measures 0.55 cm at 100 metres when set to 12x, along with crosshairs and a horizontal bar to prevent canting and assist in tracking moving game.
The extra-large eyebox allows quick target acquisition even in awkward or non-standard shooting positions.

I’ve used this scope on several hunting trips and it performs reliably in both low and bright light. The illuminated reticle is very helpful when tracking moving game at distance. The eyebox is large enough for quick targeting even when shooting from awkward angles. Overall, a solid choice for hunters who need versatility.

The zoom range is excellent for different hunting scenarios. At 14x, I can get precise shots on distant targets. The reticle helps with alignment, especially when the game is moving. A bit heavy, but worth it for the performance.

The image clarity is outstanding, especially with the T* coating. I noticed a significant improvement in visibility during early morning hunts. The horizontal bar helps keep the shot aligned when the animal moves sideways.
