 Zeiss V8 NA Riflescopes

Zeiss has unveiled new scopes to join the established Zeiss V8 riflescope product line, which is meant primarily for North American outdoor enthusiasts. The two new riflescopes are the Zeiss V8 NA2.8-20x56 and V8 NA 4.8-35x60, which feature 30mm and 34mm main tubes respectively. The click adjustments on both scopes are configured in ¼-MOA clicks and include an exposed elevation turret for easy dialing with Zeiss' unique zero locking mechanism, called Ballistic Stop. Two different reticle choices with daylight visible illumination are available for these riflescopes, and both are designed to have wide, comfortable eye boxes.

Zeiss V8 NA 4.8-35x60mm

This new scope is the benchmark model of the Zeiss V8 product line. With a wide objective lens of 60mm and a 34mm main tube, along with a top-end zoom magnification level of 35x, the V8 NA 4.8-35x60mm is built for long range hunting and shooting. These scopes are illuminated and available with Zeiss reticles #60 and AHR #90.

  • Exit Pupil Diameter: 9.9-1.7mm
  • Field of View at 100 meters: 8.6 to 1.2 yards
  • Weight: 35.8 ounces
  • Length: 15.7 inches

Zeiss V8 NA 2.8-20x56mm

The Zeiss V8 NA 2.8-20x56mm does not have the powerful magnification range as its sibling, but this scope is similarly built and outfitted. It has ¼-MOA turrets, uses the Zeiss #60 and AHR #60 reticles and still makes use of a wider 56 mm objective lens, which helps it efficiently gather light.

  • Exit Pupil Diameter: 9.9-2.8mm
  • Field of View at 100 meters: 15.5 to 2.1 yards
  • Weight: 13.8 inches
