I have been shooting with a Zeiss V4 6-24x50 MOA for about 8 months now. I will be writing a review on it in the next few months. Does anyone have any specific information they would like or questions?

Im sure youre going to cover it but the reliability of dialing and returning to zero are important to me. Looking forward to your report.

Absolutely. That is the most important thing to me in a scope.

Clarity? Comparable to what glass? How does it compare to swaro? How does it tract? Turret feel? Are turrets easy to bump with a pack or while the rifle is carried by a sling?

All of those are things I would consider standard and will be answered.

No suggestions to add as everything I would want to know has been covered, but I put the 4-16x model of this scope on a rifle a few months ago and I'm looking forward to your review!

How do you like your 4-16?

I have limited time with it, and have probably only shot 25 rounds with the setup, but so far I love it. I've shot 100-300 yards with it, so not much of a test yet. Prior to buying this scope, the nicest scope on any of my rifles is a VX-3, and the Zeiss is quite a bit brighter, especially in low light. Its 10oz heavier than my vx-3s though, so a little bit of a weight penalty there.

I love the zero-stop reset on the elevation turret.. resetting the turret is always something that concerned me with my other scopes.

If I could change anything, I would like a tiny bit thinner reticle, but its not bad.

Wish the 3-12x44 came with the same zero stop turret as well. Would have made for a good mountain rifle scope.

How is the Zmoa reticle in low light hunting situation? Also in the 24oz weight on the 4-16x44? Thank You

I did not directly compare the low light performance of this scope with others in its price range but from recollection it has some of the better glass in it's price range. Not being an illuminated reticle model I would say the reticle itself is no different than others when directly speaking to low light performance. The 6-24 is 24 oz the 4-16 is lighter by a couple oz.

Thank you, was curious if it was as visible as their z-plex. Appreciate your insights

I can not remember the last time I used a plex reticle so I am no help there.
Thanks, I have not asked my question well:) is the Zmoa too fine to hunt with? Still visible in lower light? Again appreciate it, I don’t have access to one.

Sorry, yes. It is actually a little thicker than I would prefer but not too thick for hunting.
