ZEISS Conquest® V4 4-16x44mm Riflescope Z-Plex #20 Reticle

The Conquest V4 line of high-performance riflescopes combines the tried-and-true ZEISS optics concept with a rugged and functional design. Their compact design and perfect balance between a wide field of view and large magnification range is ideal for all types of hunting. The V4 models are equipped with a 4x zoom and functional, high-precision, and fully reliable mechanical components.

Special models have a ballistic turret with a wide reticle adjustment range (elevation and windage). As a result, the hunter has the flexibility needed for a variety of different hunting methods. Optional ballistic reticles are also available that allow the hunter to quickly make elevation and azimuth corrections with no mechanical adjustment necessary.

Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, the Conquest V4 4-16×44 is ideal for active hunting and hunting in the mountains. Its zoom range makes this V4 the perfect choice for medium and long-distance shots.

Features:

• 4x Zoom Range
  • The 4x zoom range allows hunters to perfectly recognize details and offers an excellent overall view for a safe and accurate shot.
• A clear view, whatever the weather
  • There are always exciting things to be seen in the world of nature – even in wet weather. This is why ZEISS developed LotuTec®. A coating for the lenses of binoculars and spotting scopes that enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions.
• Stable and Shot-Proof
  • The ZEISS  Conquest V4 riflescopes are all ideally suited for use with “clip-on” attachments.
• 90% Light Transmission
  • Higher definition glass produces 90% to-the-eye light transmission, great low-light performance and excellent target resolution across the entire magnification range.
• ZEISS T* Coating
  • ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images­­ which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.
• Confidence in the toughest conditions
  • Corrosion
    • Hard shell, hard core
      • When you go hunting, your optics are often exposed to aggressive liquids such as hand sweat and cosmetics.  But thanks to a high-quality seal, these don’t stand a chance against ZEISS optics
    • 24 hours in salt spray
      • Side by side with metal test strips, ZEISS optics were stored in an aggressive salt water spray for 24 hours.  While the test strips were covered in rust, the optics were entirely unfazed.
  • Shock
    • Precision in the face of stress
      • When you’re out hunting, the optics are exposed to extreme forces whenever shots are fired with the variety of different calibres and firearms often fall over – ZEISS optics confidently brave all this and more during every hunting trip.
    • Shock test with up to 1,500 times g-force
      • 1,500 g corresponds to the shooting load of the .460 Weatherby Magnum calibre
  • Waterproofness
    • Washed with all waters
      • Hours of waiting in the unrelenting pouring rain when out driven hunting, or the necessary cleaning of optics with a water bottle – ZEISS hunting optics are built to be used and remain waterproof even when things get rough.
    • Waterproofing immersion test
      • Our tests simulate continuous rain and complete immersion of the optics in water, ensuring that all ZEISS optics are fully waterproof.
  • Continuous shocks
    • Tenaciously mobile
      • Driving along bumpy forest and country lanes with the gun in vehicle or navigating rough terrain on foot – bumps and shocks are a normal part of hunting.  So it’s all the better if the optics are prepared
    • Continuous shocks for 90 minutes
      • • Even after one and a half hours of continuous vibration if different directions, the groupings of the optics remain unchanged
  • Temperature
    • • From the Sahara to the Arctic
        • From the heat of the hut to the bitter cold of the outdoors, or hours in the blazing sun – ZEISS hunting optics operate reliably in extreme climatic conditions
      • Temperature shock
        • Deep freezing to -40°C and temperature shocks from -25° to 50°C in under 5 minutes.  In the climatic chamber, ZEISS optics are tested to the material’s limits.
• Z-Plex Reticle 20
  • The very fine reticle 20 is located in the second image plane.  During daytime hunting, it enables you to shoulder your rifle and aim extremely precisely, even at long distances.  The transition from the bars to the fine lines gives you the ability to aim at extremely small targets

Stable and Shot-Proof when used with ‘Clip-On’ Attachments.

The ZEISS Victory V8, ZEISS Victory HT, ZEISS Conquest V6, and ZEISS Conquest V4 riflescopes are all ideally suited for use with ‘clip-on’ attachments.*

The use of ‘Clip-On’ thermal attachments for hunting is currently a hot topic among sportsmen. Due to changes in current legislation in Germany and European countries, and the ever-increasing wild boar populations — in combination with African Swine Fever (ASF) — and in some cases massive financial burdens due to game damage, the proposed advantages of these accessories are currently the subject of much debate among hunters. The use of these specialized optical add-on accessories in hunting is increasingly becoming more and more possible. But how do these devices affect the stability and overall performance of the riflescope? And are the riflescopes repeatable even with an attachment and adapter connected?

ZEISS knows that you can only create the perfect conditions with the right and compatible equipment. That is why the company thoroughly tested the suitability of ZEISS riflescopes for use with attachments in its own in-house laboratory. The results from these studies confirm that the complete assortment of ZEISS riflescope models is ideally suited for use with attachments.

Advantages of ‘Clip-On’ Attachments – and Their Use in Tough Testing

With a standard ‘Clip-On’ attachment, any ZEISS riflescope can be adapted to be used as a night vision or thermal imaging device. For this purpose, the attachment is usually clipped onto the objective lens side of the riflescope in order to unlock the many applications of thermal imaging for the optics. Thermal imaging attachments locate heat sources directly through the optics, making all targets immediately visible as soon as they are identified – and not only at night, but also in fog and other adverse weather conditions.

The attachment is mounted using a ring adapter that surrounds the objective lens area of the riflescope’s main tube. ZEISS scopes offer the perfect combination of outside diameter and wall thickness for a very stable fit. Every ZEISS lens undergoes extensive testing in our in-house laboratory and in the field to ensure its durability and suitability for everyday use. These strict testing procedures performed in the laboratory, and validated in the field, have now been extended to include use with standard ‘Clip-On’ attachments. This was accomplished in order to verify the suitability of the riflescopes’ materials as well as their flawless operation.

After all, depending on its weight and center of gravity, an attachment can affect a riflescope’s overall balance. The lack of a riflescope’s rigidity could lead to the zero point being shifted and the point of impact varying as a resulting of mounting an attachment. A hunter can only prevent this through using a suitable and tested riflescope platform. ZEISS riflescopes offer such platforms.

Stable and Steady During Shots, Even With Heavy Attachments

ZEISS tests have shown that the mechanical axis of the lens remains perfectly stable, even when adding accessory attachments that weigh up to 2,000grams. In the lab, to prove this, tactile measurements were made at different measuring points on the riflescope body while using attachments of different weights.

To verify the stability of the riflescope, tactile measurements were taken at various measuring points along its body (shown here on a ZEISS Victory V8). In the test setup, the load was simulated with weights of up to 2,000 grams.

Even if the attachment is once again removed, ZEISS riflescopes will maintain their original point of aim – as shown in the graph below under the value “500 Grams Repro”. The weight load on the lens side is reversible, meaning there is no risk of material fatigue. The fact that ZEISS has set the test criteria particularly high can be seen in the fact that attachments currently available on the market only weigh between 400 and 1,000 grams on average.

In laboratory tests, ZEISS demonstrated that the ZEISS Victory V8, ZEISS Victory HT, ZEISS Conquest V6, and ZEISS Conquest V4 exhibit the expected and necessary degree of stability required for use with attachments including the adapter. Even under a load of up to 2,000 grams, the relationship between load and deflection is approximately linear, meaning that the riflescope (shown here in the test with the ZEISS Victory V8) is linearly elastic.

Since riflescopes are exposed to extreme recoil and vibration forces during firing, the ZEISS laboratory not only carried out mechanical tests on the possible deflection and rigidity of the riflescopes, but also placed considerable emphasis on the deviation from the target line by using attachments and adapters. During shock tests, the attachments mounted on riflescopes were subjected to continuous stress. This simulates whether the mounting will hold even under high load and whether the target line remains unchanged – even after many shots. The shooting stability of ZEISS riflescopes, in combination with attachments, was also tested and verified at the range, i.e. under real-world field conditions.

In summary, the ZEISS Victory V8, ZEISS Victory HT, ZEISS Conquest V6, and ZEISS Conquest V4 all demonstrated the expected and necessary degree of stiffness, as well as maximum reliability, in terms of shooting stability in the various test setups. The safety aspects of the product line were proven to be maintained throughout the entire testing phase. In short, ZEISS riflescopes deliver the repeatability required for ‘Clip-On’ accessory optics currently available on the market today!

“Irrespective of the applicable legal situation, we can guarantee that using an attachment with our riflescopes, if properly mounted, is perfectly safe and will not cause any damage to the riflescope whatsoever,” said Dr. Stefan Ballmann, responsible for Application and Testing at ZEISS Consumer Products. “Our tests have demonstrated the extremely high durability of our riflescopes, even in conjunction with commercially available attachments.”
Important Note!

Please verify whether the use of night vision and thermal imaging devices is permitted in your area. The applicable regulations vary considerably from region-to-region and country-to-country. Despite the fact that hunters in Germany, for example, will be allowed to use night vision attachments when the country’s amended Weapons Act comes into force, the respective hunting laws and regulations must still be observed.

All measurements were performed on ZEISS coordinate measuring machines (CMM). The picture shows a ZEISS UPMC 850 Carat. Tests were also made with ZEISS PRISMO ultra CMM. With a length measurement error of only 0.5+L/500 micrometers, ZEISS PRISMO ultra is ideal for tasks where maximum precision is required. Read more here.

*The ZEISS Victory V8, ZEISS Victory HT, ZEISS Conquest V6, and ZEISS Conquest V4 riflescopes are all ideally suited for use with attachments. The use of properly mounted attachments does not affect the riflescopes’ warranty terms.
