Zeiss Victory V8 - 2.8-20x56 M / 30mm central tube with rail quick adjustment of elevation reticle

The "Victory V8" model series sets a completely new standard in the premium class of riflescopes.
The Victory V8 2.8–20x56 M is the best choice when it comes to bright images in twilight, as well as accuracy at long distances. This is ensured, among other things, by the 92% light transmission, complemented by the ZEISS-T*-multi-coating. The performance in twilight is further enhanced by the 56 mm objective lens, providing the perfect solution for hunting in low light conditions.

With a 20x magnification, the Zeiss Victory model is perfectly suited for shots at medium to long distances. Throughout the entire magnification range, the riflescope delivers excellent image sharpness and the highest resolution of details. This enables reliable identification and precise shooting over greater distances. This is further supported by the equipment with the ASV from Zeiss.

Precision is also ensured by the finest illuminated dot in the world, due to its extremely low target coverage. At just 3.3 mm, the illuminated dot covers a target at a distance of 100 m. Additionally, it is very bright and finely dimmable, making it very helpful both during the day and at night. With the multifunction button, it can be operated quickly and silently. Furthermore, an intelligent motion sensor automatically activates the illuminated dot when the weapon is shouldered. This eliminates a potentially annoying manual action that could hinder success in hectic situations. The illumination is then automatically deactivated.

A coating of the lenses (LotuTec) ensures unrestricted clear visibility, especially in wet conditions. Additionally, the Ultra – FL Concept includes several SCHOTT fluoride glass elements for absolute color fidelity and clarity.

With a waterproof rating of 400 mbar and a functional temperature range of -25 °C to +50 °C, the V8 is extremely robust. The materials have undergone various tests, showing that the riflescopes withstand high pressure, shocks, impacts, and similar conditions without any changes in the shot pattern. Aggressive liquids or prolonged exposure to moisture do not cause the Victory V8 to rust or affect it in any other conceivable way, thanks to its high-quality sealing.

This model of the Zeiss Victory series also features a quick reticle adjustment for elevation (ASV H). In addition to zeroing, the ASV is used to compensate for bullet drop at long distances. At a distance of 100 m, 1 click shifts the point of impact by 1 cm, 2 clicks by 2 cm, 3 clicks by 3 cm, and so on. As the distances increase, this calculation no longer holds. At a distance of 200 m, 1 click changes the point of impact by 2 cm. At 300 m, 1 click accounts for 3 cm. Therefore, for example, 6 clicks at 200 m equals 12 cm. Or 15 clicks at 300 m equals 45 cm. The advantage of the system developed by Zeiss lies in the ease and safety of operation. The tedious counting of clicks and calculations, where errors can quickly creep in, becomes unnecessary. The adjustable knob features a distance scale that can be easily set to the shooting distance. This allows for always "holding on target," instead of estimating or missing an opportunity because one is busy calculating and counting clicks. This makes the quick reticle adjustment from Zeiss a fast and accurate solution that is safe and easy to use. For (one-time) adjustment of the system to different bullet trajectories, the correct distance scale is attached to the adjustment knob, or the corresponding distance ring is placed on it.

The riflescope described here is one with a rail. Specifically, this means that a dovetail-shaped hollow rail is located in the lower part of the one-piece machined tube body. There, the mounts from various manufacturers are attached. This results in several advantages, such as the possibility for quick and easy adjustment of the eye relief. Unlike ring mounts, this does not create permanent pressure points or damage to the tube body. Generally, no mechanical processing is required on the riflescope itself, which not only looks elegant but is also the technically cleanest solution. Additionally, this type of mounting is recoil-resistant, completely stress-free, and invisible from the outside.

The Zeiss Victory V8 2.8–20x56 M is available both with reticle 43 and with reticle 60, both of which are illuminated.

The 60 reticle is ideally suited for precise shooting with minimal coverage of the game body.

The classic for fast, long shots is the reticle 43. The characteristic points of the reticle are exactly 10 cm apart at 100 m, allowing for very good estimation of distances.

The riflescopes of the Victory V8 model series are well suited for the use of attachment devices.
