 ASV Advanced LongRange rounds out the list of ZEISS V8 riflescopes' numerous features, achieving the longest possible shooting distances thanks to its wide adjustment range. This is how ZEISS V8 riflescopes always guarantee absolute precision and perfection – quality made in Germany for maximum hunting success.

ZEISS V8 1.1-8x24

Extra-Large eyebox for rapid target acquisition.

The ZEISS V8 1.1-8x24 is built for driven hunts, where rapid target acquisition is everything. Its exceptionally wide eye box is larger than the human pupil, giving you more freedom to position your eye while still seeing the full image – no tunnel vision, no wasted time.

Extra-large Eyebox

While getting on target quickly, with the reticle centered in the middle – the distance between the eye and the eyepiece (ocular) is crucial. A large "user-friendly" eyebox enables you to acquire the target quickly and easily, ensuring higher success rates in dynamic hunting situations.

ZEISS V8 1.1-8x24

1.1 Magnification

The 1.1 magnification equates to the natural human eyesight. The hunter can therefore comfortably use both eyes open – for total awareness – when aiming. The hunter’s overall view through the scope and outside the scope illustrates full, clean and visually balanced image characteristics. This allows for a fast and ideal environmental overview resulting in a much faster target acquisition.

Features

ZEISS V8

Brilliant Image Quality

The Ultra-FL Concept contains several SCHOTT fluoride glass elements for absolute color fidelity, brightness, and clarity. Ensuring you the finest resolution of details, even in the harshest conditions and most challenging environment.

The World's Finest Illuminated Dot

The secret behind the precision of ZEISS riflescopes is their ultra-fine illuminated dot and its extremely low target coverage. With only a fraction of the thickness of a human hair, the fibre optics system delivers the world’s finest illuminated dot – 3.3-millimetre target coverage at 100 metres is the breathtaking result. 

Multifunction Button

The multifunction illumination control button is the most advanced reticle illumination system available. It can be quickly, silently, and intuitively operated even with gloves on. The illumination automatically deactivates when you put the weapon down and reactivates when you take aim, saving time and energy – ensuring an immediate and perfect aiming solution in any lighting condition.

A Clear View, Whatever the Weather

With dependable equipment, hunters can confidently face any weather conditions. That's why ZEISS developed LotuTec®, a lens coating for binoculars and scopes that ensures clear vision for every hunting adventure, regardless of the conditions.

Stable and Shot-Proof

The ZEISS V8, ZEISS Victory HT, ZEISS Conquest V6, and ZEISS Conquest V4 riflescopes are all ideally suited for use with "clip-on" attachments, ensuring reliable performance and repeatability even under heavy loads, enhancing hunting capabilities.

ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating guarantees brilliant, high-contrast images, especially in adverse light conditions and twilight. However, there is no specific formula for building up the layers; instead, it is a technology constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, varying from lens to lens.

Reticles

ZEISS V8

ZEISS is known for its innovative reticle development, offering illuminated and non-illuminated options to meet various hunting and shooting needs. Illuminated reticles come in two types: one with a bright dot for daytime and twilight use, ideal for quick target acquisition, and another with dimmable dots for optimal adjustment in low light, preventing target obscuration. Non-illuminated reticles are versatile and precise, suitable for good light conditions and offering advantages for competitive shooters with fine crosshairs that minimally obscure the target. They also aid in range estimation, providing valuable distance information through scales on the crosshairs.

Reticle 54

Illuminated

The driven hunt reticle 54 is another special reticle from ZEISS. This enhanced version of the reticle 0 is designed for fast and reliable shots with minimal target subtension. In addition to the fine horizontal bar, it features crosshairs containing the ultra-fine illuminated dot. The horizontal bar is used for height correction when following a target and protects against weapon tilting. The crosshairs allow you to quickly shoulder your rifle and aim at the target, even without an illuminated dot. One look at the subtension reveals just how fine the illuminated dot is – at 12x magnification, only 0.55 cm is covered at a distance of 100 m. This is the finest and brightest illuminated dot in the world, a real benchmark. The reticle is located in the riflescope’s second image plane.

ZEISS Reticles

Reticle 60

Illuminated

The reticle 60 is lighter and finer than the reticle 40, which was widely used only a few years ago. The bars have only half the subtension of the earlier model and there is twice the amount of free space between them. It is therefore ideally suited for precise shooting with the least possible coverage of the target game. With 12x magnification and a subtension of only 0.55 cm at a distance of 100 m, you always have an excellent overview – no fine details are hidden from view. The illuminated dot is extremely bright and can therefore also be used for daytime hunting. The brightness of the illuminated dot can be dimmed at extremely finely, making it ideal for night hunting as well. The reticle is located in the riflescope’s second image plane. The reticle is only suitable for daylight use with modern riflescope models. This may not be possible with older riflescopes for technical reasons. If you have any questions, please contact our customer support.

Reticle 43

Illuminated

Our classic reticle for fast, long shots combined with the finest illuminated dot. At the respective riflescope’s reference magnification, the reticle’s characteristic dots are exactly 10 cm apart at a distance of 100 m, making it easy to accurately estimate distances. The angle between the dots at this magnification is exactly 1 millirad, allowing trained shooters to quickly determine the appropriate holdover point at long distances. The reticle is located in the riflescope’s second image plane. The ZEISS Hunting app can be used to quickly and precisely determine the change in subtension and the resulting bullet drop compensation and wind drift correction values for practically any ammunition.
