Zeiss Victory V8 Rail Mount

NORTH CHESTERFIELD, VA – Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, the world's leading manufacturer of high performance sports optics, is pleased to announce three added models of rail mount scopes to the super premium Victory V8 line. This additional premium feature from ZEISS enables simple and quick mounting of the riflescope without any adhesion problems associated with a ring and base combination. A rail mounted system also allows the user to easily remove the scope and replace it. Rail mounted models eliminates the risk of compression or damage to the scope tube, making it the most practical and precise mounting system for riflescopes.

Available Rail Mount Models:
V8 1-8x30 ill #60
V8 1.8-14x50 ill #60 ASV/BDC Turret - Elevation
V8 2.8-20x56 ill #60 ASV/BDC Turret – Elevation

Select models include the new bullet drop compensation turret system "ASV", which gives a choice of 9 engraved rings that allows users to match the appropriate ring to the ballistics of their ammunition. Also included is a certificate for a free custom engraved KENTON ballistic turret ring ($149.00 retail value ) that will be built to exactly match a chosen caliber and load.

Made in Germany, the Victory V8 owes its outstanding image quality and optical resolution to its 36mm tube design and its unique fluoride lens HT glass system. This phenomenal optical concept offers unrivalled low light performance, taking aiming accuracy to a new standard. All external lenses are protected by LotuTec® coating for easy cleaning and clear visibility in any weather situation. The ultra-fine illuminated red dot provides minimum target coverage and is designed for hunting by day or in extreme low-light. The ASV models will allow shooters to range the target and compensate the bullet drop with maximum precision while remaining on target. Whether it's a western long range spot and stalk hunt, sitting in a treestand, competing for a 3-gun championship or just shooting at the range, the ZEISS Victory V8 super-zoom riflescopes enable fast reaction time and flexibility – all designed to ensure the maximum shooting experience.

Other innovative features include:

• World's finest illuminated red dot, 3 millimeter subtension coverage at 100 yards
• Precise and accurate repeatability for maximum precision, even at long range
• New ASV bullet drop compensator (on select models) which is considered the most intuitive and precise
long-range shooting solution in the world.
• Multifunction illumination button is the most advanced illumination control system on the market. It can
be quickly, silently and intuitively operated even with gloves on.
• Integrated intelligent motion sensor: The illuminated dot is automatically deactivated as soon as you put
the rifle down. It reactivates as soon as you take aim

Experience the sheer brilliance of the ZEISS Victory V8, backed by an industry-leading limited lifetime transferable warranty and a 5 year No Fault policy.
