ahhh I don't think it should piss anyone off, The reviews will get better as time goes. The first one I didn't explain enough, didn't have video on the inside of the scope view etc. the only thing that I am not happy with is the angle of the tracking video. for some reason my the app corrects the view. then its uncorrected again in my phone. my phone corrects for it again with an adjustment I make. but for some reason it moves it back again when I edit the clips. oh well, I have it fixed mostly for the 3-9x42 ss review video I have cued up next for your viewing pleasure next.

Zeiss hired some NF people before these scopes were introduced FWIW.

Thanks for the review. Seems like a great product and I will probably try one.

Nice job on the review.
I have one mounted on a .264 NULA.
Practiced with it on rocks out to 700yds on and off all summer. When I got to Wyoming for my Antelope hunt checked zero. Dead nuts on at 200.
At 327 yards hit the Antelope exactlly where I aimed.
Great glass and reticle.

Mine has been flawless. Haven’t used it on game beyond 200 but at the range it has tracked reliably. At 16x the eye box gets a little small but that’s to be expected

I have a zeiss v4 and this scope is better optically than my swarovski older av or nightforce shv. It has tracked true and returned to zero perfectly so far. I have ran it out to 750 in perfect conditions and made kills at 520 and 540 in the field with a 15 mph cross wind on the 520. windage hash worked perfect so far I am very impressed.

One thing I did not mention in my comments is I like the v4 line better than the more expensive v6 line. The v6 scopes have more tunneling. Great info on that other forum post. Thanks for posting

What’s the going rate for a v4?

What’s the going rate for a v4? Looks to be around a grand. Might have to give one of these a try on my T3X creed.

The only thing that is holding me up is that it's SFP. Now, I actually prefer SFP over FFP, but when I'm holding for windage I want the reticle to be accurate at all powers. Most of the time I am either at 4x walking through timber or at 16x shooting farther but there are times I'm somewhere in between. If the windage turret had numbers on it that showed which direction I was dialing and how many MOA I'd order one today. I've held and looked through this scope quite a bit and really like it though.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I did not like the V6 at all. Tunneling & black do nut. Pissy sensitive eye relief.

Guess everyone looks through a scope different. I've got all 3 models of the V6's without any problems. If there is a problem it may be do to the way your rifle stock fits you and proper cheek weld. You may need a different mount system. Both the V4 line and the V6 line have the same eye relief of 3.5".
