The Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44 riflescope delivers the versatility serious hunters and precision shooters need without excess weight or complexity. This compact 4-16x magnification scope bridges the gap between close-range hunting scenarios and demanding long-range shooting, making it equally at home in a tree stand or behind a rifle on open ground. Whether you're after whitetail at typical hunting ranges or pushing shots further out, the 44mm objective and broad zoom range give you flexibility across real-world hunting and shooting situations.
Zeiss's optical pedigree shows throughout: 90% light transmission via their T* multi-coated lens system ensures sharp, high-contrast images even during low-light hunts and adverse weather. The LotusTec water-shedding coating keeps your view clear in rain and sleet—conditions where cheaper optics fog and fail. That clarity holds true across the entire magnification range, so you're not sacrificing performance at either end of the zoom.
The turret layout makes field adjustments fast and intuitive. An external locking windage turret with limiter lets you dial wind corrections quickly, then lock in place so accidental bumps don't throw off your zero. Side parallax adjustment gives you precise focus control for best image quality at any shooting distance. Enhanced engravings let you identify your settings from the shooting position without breaking your cheek weld. The Reticle #64 ZMOA-T30 is a thin-line design—35–50% thinner than earlier Zeiss reticles—built for long-range work and faster target acquisition.
A ballistic stop makes it easy to find and return to your zero with confidence. Overall, this is a no-fuss scope that handles the full spectrum of hunting and shooting without asking you to compromise on light transmission, durability, or handling speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this scope good for both hunting and long-range shooting?
Yes. The 4-16x44 is built to handle both roles. The 4x power covers shorter-range hunting situations, while 16x magnification and the thin-line Reticle #64 ZMOA-T30 support precision at distance. The external locking windage turret and side parallax make field adjustments fast, whether you're in a stand or prone on the ground.
How does the light transmission compare in low-light conditions?
The 90% light transmission achieved through Zeiss's T* multi-coating delivers excellent brightness and contrast even at dawn, dusk, and in overcast conditions—times when many hunters are actively in the field. The LotusTec coating also maintains your view in rain and wet weather.
What does the external locking windage turret do?
The ELWT allows you to pull the turret out to make windage adjustments, then push it back in to lock. This design makes fast, repeatable corrections easy while preventing accidental bumps from moving your zero during the hunt.
How thin is the Reticle #64 compared to earlier Zeiss reticles?
The Reticle #64 ZMOA-T30 is 35–50% thinner than previous Zeiss ZMOA and ZBR reticles, which speeds up target acquisition and reduces obstruction during precision aiming.
