Has anyone else checked out the new Zeiss V8. I 'm sure impressed. Looks like it's going to lighten my wallet again.
Don't mess with me, I'm too old to fight, too fat to run, so I going to have to kill you.

36mm center tube? Finding rings is going to be a chore.

It certainly will be tempting.

Almost 3k, 24+ ounces, 36mm tubes, thin #60 reticle and a 50mm or 56mm objective..... NOT interested!

I love Zeiss glass, but some of their recent decision-making is baffling. It would be logical -- to me, at least -- that you'd want to pair up the best low-light reticle with the best low-light glass, but the #4 is not available in the Victory HT series.

I'm a Zeiss fan and I'll get to look through one as soon as my dealer gets his hands on one. so I'll know soon enough.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Just a heads up, for our USA members:
This product was launched in Germany at the IWA Show in March of this year. ZEISS-US has not made any announcements regarding this product as they do not yet have access to it and it is not yet clear if they will have access to it. The earliest the product would be launched in the US is SHOT Show 2015, but this is best case scenario.

36mm rings....Who makes them?? (Zeiss probably?) Spuhr...for the reasonable (/sarcasm) sum of $500.00.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

You do seem to be the single voice of reason in an otherwise group of new hunters who crave 4 lb, 17" long riflescopes.

I have some that are short, long, fat, skinny, light and heavy and they all serve a different purpose. And I have some scopes that do the same thing.

Why do they have that scope listed in the "hunting" section? Who is going to drag that around the woods? Realistically, who is going to buy that beast?
...I just want them to offer the 1.5-6x42 with a non-illuminated FFP reticle (#8 please) like they used to.

You guys remind me of a young man I worked with. He, like you, thought because he thought it, it must be true.
"Only Christ is the fullness of God's revelation."
