The Zeiss Conquest V4 3-12x56 riflescope with #60 Plex illuminated reticle is built for hunters who refuse to stop when the light does. The 56mm objective lens combined with 90% light transmission and a center-illuminated reticle makes this scope a genuine edge in low-light hunting—those last hours on stand, in the blind, or glassing from the field when conditions turn gray. With 3x to 12x magnification, you get flexibility from close-range brush shooting to capable mid- and long-range hunting without a scope that feels bulky in your hands.
This is a traditional hunting scope engineered by Zeiss for real-world use: rugged, dependable, and smart about the optics that matter. The 30mm main tube gives you a large sight picture and plenty of elevation and windage adjustment room for hunting situations that demand precision. Quarter-MOA clicks mean repeatable, confidence-building turret adjustments. The LotuTec nitrogen-filled construction handles pressure changes and moisture so you can hunt across seasons without worry about internal fogging.
The #60 Plex duplex reticle—a proven design with a centered illuminated dot—is simple and fast in the field. You're not distracted by complex ballistic grids; you're focused on the shot. At 21.5 ounces and 14.5 inches long, this scope adds capability without sacrificing the pointability of a well-balanced rifle. Whether you're hunting in timber where light fades fast or open country where the last hour of daylight counts, the Conquest V4 3-12x56 delivers the optical clarity and low-light performance serious hunters expect from Zeiss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this scope good for low-light hunting?
Yes. The 56mm objective lens paired with 90% light transmission and an illuminated center dot is specifically designed for hunting in dim conditions—dawn, dusk, and overcast days when most hunters are in the field. This scope was built with low-light hunting in mind.
What magnification range is best for hunting?
The 3-12x range works across most hunting scenarios. At 3x, the scope is fast and bright for close-range or brush hunting. At 12x, you have enough power for mid-range to moderately long-range shots. The 4x zoom ratio balances flexibility without sacrificing either brightness or field of view at either end.
What's the #60 Plex reticle?
It's a duplex-style reticle with a centered illuminated dot. The duplex design—thin outer posts, thicker inner area—is a proven traditional hunting reticle that's fast to use and uncluttered. The illuminated center dot helps you pick up the target quickly in low light without being so complex that you lose the simplicity hunters value.
Will this scope handle weather and temperature changes?
Yes. The LotuTec nitrogen-filled construction is sealed against moisture and resistant to fogging across the scope's operating range of –25°C to +50°C. It's rated for 400mbar water resistance, so seasonal temperature swings and hunting in wet conditions won't compromise the internal optics.
