From Zeiss
New for 2020, Zeiss has enhanced many of their ZEISS Conquest V4 riflescope models. These enhancements include optimized engraving, 10 yards to infinity side parallax adjustment, variable step reticle illumination, two new reticle designs, and reticle subtension indicators at the magnification settings. Select configurations will also incorporate ZEISS’ all-new External Locking Windage Turret with windage limiter adjustment. The new options will be available at your authorized Zeiss retailer beginning late May 2020.
“We can now share the good news and the new products,” said Kyle Brown, director of marketing/product for Carl Zeiss LLC. “These new riflescopes are going to make a whole lot of hunters and shooters smile from ear-to-ear. Packed with features well above their price class, they deliver exceptional performance in a lighter-weight package. The new configurations support the long-range hunter and shooter more than ever. Regardless of just how challenging that shot is, the new riflescopes will help you deliver precise and accurate hits on the most challenging of targets.”
What’s the difference between a wire and etched-glass reticle?
Zeiss will offer a total of 22 unique scope configurations within the Zeiss Conquest V4 riflescope portfolio. There are five models available—all with 30mm main tubes: 3-12×44 mm, 3-12×56 mm, 4-16×44 mm, 4-16×50 mm, and 6-24×50 mm. All models deliver 90 percent light transmission, offer a large amount of elevation adjustment, and all are designed to handle up to 1,500 g-force of recoil. Lightweight and heavy duty, these riflescopes deliver confidence in the toughest conditions. The various riflescope choices will service many hunting and shooting applications that are typically encountered in the field and on the range.
Select models of Conquest V4 riflescopes will be available with the all-new, and industry-leading, Zeiss External Locking Windage Turret (ELWT) feature, with a windage limiter. This innovative option allows for easy-to-see reference numbers, immediate turret engagement, confirmed settings, and high levels of functionality for the windage adjustment while in the field. The ELWT adds tremendous value to the shooting experience—whether long-range shooting and hunting.
For the utmost in accuracy, repeatability, and extreme precision, Zeiss will also debut two new Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticles. The ZMOAi-20 and the ZBi illuminated reticles are Minute of Angle (MOA) based smart reticle designs. Each incorporate fast and easy reference marks along the main horizontal and vertical lines of the reticle. They both offer 0.12 MOA reticle subtensions to serve both long-range hunters and precision shooters alike. The ZBi is a Christmas tree style reticle with minimum reference marks, especially designed for open terrain hunting. The ZMOAi-20 is primarily designed as a long-range shooting reticle that can also double-up for hunting in open terrain or over larger farm fields surrounded by heavy tree lines. These new SFP reticles have one MOA hash marks and support windage holds for aiming correction. When the reticles are combined with the all-new ELWT, the Zeiss Ballistic Stop, and legendary ZEISS optics, they create a package that delivers the payload at any range, in any condition. The ZEISS Conquest V4 represents the very best of best-in-class.
