Optics have multiple purposes. They can be used for Astronomy, Scouting, birdwatching, target shooting, hunting and military purposes. With the emergency of combat optics for close quarter combat, scopes used on rifles have gotten smaller, more compact and sometimes have zero magnification. The point is to give you a good sight pictures and a reticle that is easy to follow.
Many combat optics like Trijicon and Eotech are 4X or less. DMR or Designated Marksmen are using optics made from Trijicon, Zeiss and Leupold that are combat worth but higher magnification since shooting 300-600 meters is becoming the norm in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. Rifle Scopes are no longer made with the standard crosshair reticles and may even come in range finding or illuminated reticles.
For the hunter who can appreciate the advantage of confidence, Zeiss offers two riflescope platforms that feature an array of objective sizes, reticle configurations, and laser rangefinding capabilities. So there’s a riflescope that’s perfectly designed to match every hunting situation.
Whatever suits your hunting style, Zeiss riflescopes offer unmatched ease of use so it’s possible to react quickly – and confidently – when the opportunity arises. The robust, one-piece tube bodies of Conquest riflescopes are built to stand up to the most abusive recoil and demanding terrains. Designed to meet the needs of every hunting style and scenario, Conquest scopes excel in whatever situation presents itself. Available with a variety of reticles, including RAPID-Z®, Conquest scopes feature Zeiss MC coating for enhanced light transmission, anodized finishes, and are waterproof, dust proof, and nitrogen filled to prevent fogging.
