ultimate optics package together for your next adventure.
Riflescope: Victory HT 2.5-10x50 illum. #60: With Victory HT riflescopes, Carl Zeiss has taken optical
performance to never-before-seen levels of brightness and
precision. SCHOTT High Transmission lenses offer up to
95% light transmission or more for the brightest images
possible, even in that crucial last sliver of light. The world’s
finest illuminated red dot and new ASV+ Ballistic Turret System enables clean shots at fast moving game
from any distance. The result: the perfect combination of brightness, control and comfort, in one sleek,
compact and impeccably designed package. It’s not just brighter. It’s the brightest riflescope ever from Carl
Zeiss. Innovative riflescopes meet equally innovative reticles. This riflescope features ZEISS’ #60 reticle, the
finest illuminated red-dot in the world, which is located in the 2nd image plane. This ensures that you can

Binoculars: Victoryy SF 10x42: Welcome to the art of precision. It took 160 years to design binoculars that
are faster, brighter, wider and more ergonomic than all previous binoculars
used for wildlife and nature observation. ZEISS decided to start over from
scratch and designed a brand new binocular. The ZEISS VICTORY SF is a
unique masterpiece of optical physics, engineering ingenuity and superb
craftsmanship. They reveal images with previously unimagined brilliance
and crisp, clear details. Designed in line with the new Ultra-FL concept and
featuring high-transmission lenses, these binoculars impress with
extra-wide fields of view, sharp focus all the way to the edges, and a close
focus that makes it possible to capture countless breathtaking moments in
nature. The innovative redesign of the optics resulted in more weight in
the eyepiece end and less in the objective end, shifting the center of gravity
toward the eyes and giving the SF perfect ergonomic balance.
