NEW Zeiss Rifle SCOPE  Reviews

This is the new Zeiss v4 rifle scope. It's brand new on the market this year. It's the replacement for what would have been HD 5s which is what we've used in the past, but this is the new and improved scope for this year. It's a very well rounded all-around scope for big-game hunting. This is a30 millimeter tube instead of the 1-inch tube. So we can get 90% light transmission through this scope so we only lose less than 10% of the light through here. So very good at low-light conditions. Bigger tube to get that light through there. This is a 4 to 16 by 44-millimeter so it's pretty standard what I like to use hunting.

You know I generally use 40millimeter objective. This is 44 just a little bit bigger, but the 4 to 16gives us plenty of zoom capacity. So we can turn all the way down to 4 power if we're in really close tight in the brush and all the way up to 16 power for those long-range shots. This rifle scope is available for big-game hunting in three different power ranges the 3 to 12 the 4 to 16 and the 6 to 24 so if you're really getting out there really long range or varmint hunting you want that 6to 24 power which is a huge range 24 power and it goes up to the 56-millimeter objective lens. So this is kind of an in the middle version we're gonna use right here which is pretty much designed and engineered for that middle-of-the-road over all your bases big-game hunting scenario. There are five different reticle options available in this scope and they are all in the second focal plane. So that's very important when you're trying to choose a scope not only do you want to get the right millimeter objective, you want the right zoom, but also you want the right reticle. Make sure it's in the second focal plane if you're doing adjustments on the turret like this scope does. I tend to gravitate to the ZBR, the Zeiss ballistics reticle which is probably what most guys are used to now. It has the ballistics hash marks minute of angle in there for both windage and elevation. This scope comes standard with an adjustable turret. Plenty of throw in this turret, but one thing that is a little different about this turret it has a zero stop in it so you know when you turn it.it will physically stop at zero and so you can tell where your zero is even in the dark. Right to zero every single time you don't have turn on alight or worry about overcompensating beyond zero. One thing I want to also mention about this, this scope does come with the Zeiss limited lifetime transferable warranty. So even if you sell it to somebody, give it to your kid or whatever, it still transfers. The warranty transfers with the scope no matter where it goes and it has a five-year no-fault policy. So no matter what you do to the scope in the first five years Zeiss will either fix or repair the scope. So that's a very very good option to have for the longevity of scope. So the warranty is very very solid on this product. Just areally good all-around go-to scope for big-game hunting whether it's long-range or just shorter range everyday use. With all these options available I'm really excited to try this scope in the field in low-light conditions and get few big-game animals under its belt this fall.
