Zeiss Rifle Scopes
Zeiss has a credit for producing optics of all kinds with incredibly clear lenses. Zeiss has many optics for the outdoorsman, along with rifle scopes, binoculars, rangefinders, and spotting scopes. Zeiss makes some accepted high-end rifle scopes as well as some truly unique rifle optics; this description will focus on three series of Zeiss scopes, the Fl Diavari, the Diarange, and Conquest.
Fl Diavari
The Zeiss Fl Diavari line of scopes is like some other high-end European scopes in some ways and completely unlike them in others. First, the 4-16x50 model is like other European scopes in that it utilizes a 30 mm main tube, features excellent glass, corrects parallax with a side focus knob, and is available with or without an illuminated reticle. Unique to the Fl Diavari series is a Lotutec lens coating which is designed to shed water and other debris from the lens. Zeiss also makes a right Diavari series of rifle scopes; however, the Fl Diavari uses fluoride glass which is designed to give a sharper and clearer image. The most unique scope in the Zeiss Fl Diavari line up is a 6-24x72 mm model, that's right a 72 mm objective; these beauties weigh over 37 oz, are roughly 15 inches long, and are built on a 34 mm main tube body. These things are huge and cost over 00, but they just might be the greatest optic conversation piece.
Diarange
The Diarange is someone else unique rifle scope in Zeiss line up. The Zeiss Diarange is both a rifle scope and a rangefinder all in one unit; they are available in two options: 2.5-10x50 or 3-12x56. They are available in about fifteen separate reticle options, some of which are illuminated and have holdover marks. There are many advantages to having a rangefinder scope; from not having to pack a cut off range looking device, to having the range facts displayed at the lowest of the crosshairs. However, there are currently two disadvantages these devices have; they weigh over 31 oz and cost in the middle of 00 and 00 dollars, but other than that they are pretty awesome.
Conquest
The Zeiss Conquest series isn't as unique as the models mentioned above; however, they are separate from other Zeiss rifle scopes in one very important way, they are roughly affordable. The Zeiss Conquest series is built on a one inch diameter main tube, and available in a number of beloved hunting magnification ranges. The most basic 3-9x40 mm model can be purchase for around 0 dollars and most of the scopes in this line are priced at under 00. There are many reticle options available in the Conquest series along with the Zeiss Rapid-Z reticles which are designed for long-range shooting. Once again there are also a number of illuminated reticles available as well; however, the price growth of these models is quite noticeable when adding one of these specialty or illuminated reticles. These scopes have rated quite well with online reviewers who feel these scopes furnish a lot of value for the money.
