First Look: 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 NA2.8-20×56 and V8 NA 4.8-35×60, 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.

These scopes are illuminated and available with Zeiss reticles #60 and AHR #90.
