Zeiss Reticle 60 Illuminated Excellence


The Zeiss Conquest V4 Low-Light Rifle Scope 3-12x56 Plex Reticle delivers premium hunting optics performance when dawn and dusk opportunities emerge. This Zeiss reticle 60 illuminated system provides 90% light transmission, featuring a 56mm objective lens that gathers 31% more light than competing scopes, enabling critical low-light shots.

Every purchase supports Proven Justice while providing precision optics with expert support. Our 90-day risk-free returns, free shipping, and 24/7 specialist guidance, combined with Zeiss's lifetime warranty, provide complete confidence in your premium hunting scope investment.

Who's This For?

This premium hunting optics scope excels for serious hunters pursuing whitetail, elk, or predators during dawn and dusk hours, when its 56mm light gathering delivers decisive advantages. Professional guides consistently rely on this configuration.

The Zeiss reticle 60 illuminated system may not suit tactical professionals who require frequent magnification changes beyond 12x or ultralight backpack hunters who prioritize weight over low-light performance.

Key Features

56mm Objective Lens with 90% Light Transmission — Gathers 31% more light than competing premium hunting optics for decisive advantages during critical dawn and dusk hunting hours.

ZEISS T Multi-Layer Coating Technology* — German-engineered six-layer coating system optimizes blue-light transmission for superior clarity and contrast in low-light conditions, when visibility matters most.

Nitrogen Purged Construction with LotuTec Coating — Military-grade waterproofing to 13 feet and fog-proof reliability ensures your Zeiss reticle 60 illuminated system performs in harsh weather conditions.

30mm Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Main Tube — Provides 15% more internal adjustment range than standard 1-inch tubes while maintaining lightweight 21.5-ounce construction for extended hunting comfort.

Precision .25 MOA Click Adjustments — Capped elevation and windage turrets deliver repeatable accuracy with tactile feedback, ensuring reliable zero retention for ethical shot placement at extended ranges.

4x Magnification Range (3-12x) — Optimized zoom ratio provides versatile performance, from close-range wood hunting to mid-range precision shots, without compromising edge-to-edge clarity throughout the entire magnification spectrum.

The Expert Says

Strengths: This premium hunting optics delivers exceptional 56mm light-gathering performance with 90% transmission, outperforming competitors in dawn/dusk conditions while maintaining lightweight 21.5-ounce construction and reliable tracking precision.

Limitations: The Zeiss reticle 60 illuminated configuration features capped turrets, ideal for hunting, but may limit tactical applications that require frequent adjustments. Additionally, accessories require a separate purchase at premium pricing.

Introduction and How to Use

FAQ

What ring height is required for the 56mm objective lens?
Medium height rings (1.0") work with standard barrel contours; high rings are needed for heavy barrels to prevent objective contact.

How long does the illuminated dot battery last?
CR2032 battery provides over 700 hours of runtime at the lowest setting; 150 hours of typical usage with ten brightness levels plus off positions.

Does this model have adjustable parallax?
No, this 3-12x56 features fixed parallax at 100 yards and is optimized for hunting; side parallax adjustment is available on other V4 models.

Will the capped turrets hold zero after impact?
Yes, multiple field tests confirm reliable zero retention after vehicle transport and hunting impacts; capped design protects adjustment mechanisms.

What's the difference between 56mm and 44mm objectives for hunting?
56mm gathers 31% more light for superior dawn/dusk performance but requires higher mounting; 44mm offers lighter weight with adequate brightness.

What warranty coverage does Zeiss provide?
Limited Lifetime Transferable Warranty plus Five-Year No-Fault Policy covers defects and damage; premium hunting optics backed by German engineering standards.

Can I mount this scope on a short-action rifle?
Yes, the 14.5" length and 5.25" mounting space fit most short- and long-action rifles with proper ring spacing.
