Zeiss Optics V8 N.A. 4.8-35X60 Plex #60 Reticle

The Zeiss V8 4.8-35x60 rifle scope is a premium long-range hunting and precision shooting optic built on German engineering and optical mastery. At the top of the V8 lineup, this scope delivers extreme magnification reach—up to 35x—paired with a 60mm objective and an 8x zoom ratio that keeps you nimble from close range to distant targets. The large 60mm front lens gathers abundant light, while Zeiss's exotic glass elements (SCHOTT fluoride and high-transmission types) and 92% light transmission guarantee a bright, detailed image even in low-light conditions. Whether you're glassing for game at distance, executing precision long-range shots, or running a dedicated target rifle, this scope is engineered to extend your effective range and resolve fine detail downrange.

Built tough for harsh field use, the V8 features LotuTec lens coatings to shed water and dirt, nitrogen filling to prevent internal fogging, and robust mechanical construction that handles recoil and temperature swings from -13°F to 122°F. The massive eyepiece (46mm tube diameter) and generously sized eye box enable fast target acquisition and forgiving eye position—critical when you're scanning terrain or moving between positions. At 35x, clarity and resolution remain excellent throughout the entire magnification range, a hallmark of Zeiss's optical design.

The Plex #60 reticle provides a clean, proven aiming reference without unnecessary clutter. With 0.25 MOA adjustment per click, parallax adjustment from 50m to infinity, and robust elevation and windage ranges, this scope gives you the mechanical precision needed for demanding long-range work. A 34mm center tube keeps your mounting options broad, while the scope's 995-gram weight (without rail) strikes a practical balance between durability and rifle handling.
