Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16X44 Zbi Illum Ret 68 Rifle Scope

The Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44 rifle scope is a compact, feature-rich optic built for hunters and shooters who demand versatility without compromise. Whether you're hunting from a stand in close timber or making precision shots across open country, this mid-range magnification scope handles both scenarios with the optical quality Zeiss is known for. The 4-16x magnification range and 44mm objective strike a practical balance—enough reach for longer shots, wide enough at 4x to acquire targets quickly in variable light or brush. At home on everything from whitetail rifles to long-range precision builds, the Conquest V4 earns its reputation as a workhorse hunting optic.

Optical performance starts with Zeiss's T* multi-coated lens system, which delivers 90% light transmission for edge-to-edge clarity across the entire magnification range. That's particularly noticeable during the golden hours and in overcast conditions where brightness and contrast matter most. The LotusTec coating sheds water and debris, keeping your glass clear in wet weather without smearing. Side parallax adjustment lets you dial in focus at any distance for the sharpest image possible, and the Reticle #68 illuminated reticle—designed specifically for open-terrain and long-range hunting—uses a refined tree-style pattern with MOA hash marks for intuitive wind holds and holdover shots.

The external locking windage turret (ELWT) is a standout: pull to adjust, push to lock. It's fast, repeatable, and secure—no fumbling or creep. A ballistic stop on the elevation dial lets you find and return to zero instantly, and enhanced engravings make it easy to read your settings from the shooting position. The combination of optical clarity, purposeful mechanical design, and intuitive reticle makes the Conquest V4 4-16x44 a scope that gets out of your way and lets you focus on the shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Reticle #68 and when should I use it?

The Reticle #68 is a tree-style illuminated reticle designed for open-terrain and long-range hunting. It features a refined center point of aim and MOA hash marks that make it intuitive for both standard shooting and corrective aiming in windy conditions. Only the center section illuminates, ensuring a precise, effective point of aim in low-light situations without overwhelming your view.

Is the Conquest V4 4-16x44 good for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 4-16x magnification range and 44mm objective provide enough power and light gathering for long-range hunting, and the side parallax adjustment lets you achieve precise focus at distance. The tree-style reticle with MOA references and the external locking windage turret are both designed to support accurate, repeatable long-range shots in open country.

How does the external locking windage turret work?

The external locking windage turret (ELWT) pulls out to adjust and pushes in to lock. This design makes windage corrections fast and repeatable while preventing accidental drift once you've set your zero. A windage limiter is integrated to ensure secure, confident adjustments in the field.

What does LotusTec coating do?

LotusTec is a weather-resistant coating that repels water and debris from the lens surface, maintaining a clear view in rain, fog, and wet conditions without smearing or distortion.
