i wish I could get the 6-24x50 model with the illuminated mildot reticle with Locking turrets. Thats my dream scope at the moment. One day Im going to own one of those super nice scopes.

My father has one, it is a beautiful piece of glass, I love looking through it. Allow me a question though, sorry to hijack a little. What are the subtensions on the rapid z varmint reticle? I was trying to make sense of it the other day, and nothing added up.

I'm not sure about the rapid Z varmit rticle??
I plan on using the Z-Plex reticle on mine for hunting w/ the ASV turrets.

be careful with those reticles guys, the rapid z's are set for specific calibers

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x50T??
Ok, that makes sense, but WTF caliber/bullet/velocity/ect. are they for? It seemed to me that every other stadia on the reticle was the same distance apart. and that the OTHER every other line was at some different distance from its predecessor. If that makes sense.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x50T??
i dont like the rapid reticles, I'd rather have the mildot and get BDC knobs. I wish someone would post some good reticle pics. Pics where they are actually aiming the reticle at something other than the sky.

They have a ballistic calculator that lets you set up all the parameters and get the most out of the reticle

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x50T??
The rapid z can be used with any caliber, the problem is being second focal plane it is only good at one power setting. Also the rapid 1000 was desigened for a 308, the one I had was spot on at 19.5 power with a 175. I'll have to look up the load/ velocity, but it was varget, shooting out of a rem 5r. I drew up a target that let's you figure out your hold over with any set up, if I remember I'll post it up and explain it when I'm at the office Monday.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Have 6-24 x56 Victory with all the toys. Can't fault it other than its big. 60 reticule is fantastic and the rest I dial in.
Now they do a 4-16x50 which I'll save up for. Again I'll have the 60 reticule. The adverts don't show a windage target turret and though I'm sure its doable.. In fact I need to see it and could do with more information.
Self locking target turrets are a must have thing for me from now on.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Only got to play with the new Zeiss for about 10 minutes on Friday - I was leaving for the weekend.
All I have to say is WOW!!!!! It has THE clearest, sharpest sight picture I have ever seen on a rifle scope. Things pop right at you with this thing - its incredible!!!
I'll post a better reveiw after I get it mounted up & have done some shooting with it.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Only real complaint about my Zeiss Victory 6-24x56 is there is no provision for a sunshade on them.
been thinking about getting a 4-16 for a hunting rifle,will stick to the #43 reticle,personal preference.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
I too am interested in these. Any reviews would be appreciated. I am especially interested to hear how the hunting ASV locking turrets work.

Sandrat, on the Victory FL 4-16, there is no reticle 43 offered.
The glass is simply uppercrust, that's for sure.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
How much elevation travel do the Diavaris have? I love that they're 1cm/.1mrad, but would it have enough elevation adjustment?
I'm looking at getting a 3-12x56mm with 43 reticle and the turrets. Need to know if this would be an acceptable rifle scope out to 1000.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
They are supposed to have the same glass as Hensoldt just without the extra military coatings right? Im really thinking about selling my NF 3.5x15x50 for one of the 6x24 Zeiss Diavari's..... hmm tough decision.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Would a Diavari with target turrets make a feasible tactical scope?

If you do, you will not be sorry, having used a NF like yours for two comps and having had two of the 6-24x56 Ziesses I can honestly say that there is a gap in the way things look in them,
especially when the lights go out or the weather is shitty as it can be at times.
I loved my Ziesses, the only reason I sold them was to get a PMII and a Hensoldt,
the PMII is great but the "feel" of the glass in the Zeiss is better, to me, not saying that it´s an absolute truth.
I´ll be getting my hensoldt in this week and I will really try and test it out coming week.
As for the Ziess being a good tactical scope, well they are SFP scopes, for me that sorts of excludes them othervise they are all that and some.
Best regards Chris

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
op, let us know how you like the scope.
that 4-16 diavari victory is nice, with the asv knobs and zplex, it makes for a very appealing scope. personally i like to crank turrets rather than use a ballistic reitcle. i don't like ballistic reticles.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Okay, called Zeiss USA and got some info.
3-12x56:
36.7 IPHY elevation travel (35 MOA)
YES they can put on target turrets, but NO they don't like to
6-24x56/72:
57.6 IPHY elevation travel (55 MOA)
New models are now 1/4 IPHY, no longer selling 0.5cm (.05mrad) adjustments
Conquest 4.5-14x50:
68 IPHY elevation travel (65 MOA)
Conquest 4.5-14x44:
42.8 IPHY elevation travel (40.8 MOA)
The funny part is that the 1" Conquest 4.5-14x50 AO MC appears to be the most capable tactical-use scope out of all the non-tactical Zeiss scopes.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
Anyone else have one of these who could let us know how you like it?
I'm really interested in this for a hunting scope with the Hunt ASV locking turrets and the Rapid Z 800 Reticle.
From what I have read, it seems like this combo would make an excellent moderate range hunting scope.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
I have the 6-24x56 and have been happy with it so far. It is made in Germany so everything is metric...not a negative just something different. As others have said the glass is great and the mill dot in mine is much more desirable than the Leupold Mark 4. The dots are adequate size to use for shooting without dialing...the mark 4 is- well in my opinion way to large. I don't know how you hunt but keep in mind these are relatively heavy scopes. I don't have one but am considering a swarovski for my hunting rig they don't seem quite as heavy...but I cant confirm this with the lack of research I have done.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
I have the 6-24x56 Victory, about a year old, on my Remmington 5R 308. Comes 60 reticule with elevation and windage 0.5 cm clicks target turrets which also lock. In the second plane which means the dot stays small. Can't fault it, the best scope I have ever had and I have had and used a lot. 0.5cm clicks means 5 clicks to an inch so for me its all easy maths (I can do both metric and imperial). The dot in the middle of the cross hairs really centres your concentration and there is nothing to clutter your picture. The illumination helps when its getting dark (shoot all night with a full moon on open ground). Eye relief is fixed and just about perfect.
[Mildots and 1st plane why? I use a laser rangefinder and like my reticles kept sharp/thin/small at high mag so I wouldn't have either.]
Just received the 4-16x50 FL Victory; again with illum 60 ret 2nd plane and paid extra for target windage turret. Both scopes would be set up exactly the same if it wasn't that this scope has 1cm clicks. Missed that one! This scope is more squat and less good looking but I wanted to save a bit of weight as its going on a Rem 700 custom .223. Its for field use and I don't take the .223 out further than 400m so 1 cm clicks is fine. The dot centre covers a corvid breast at about 500 so well small enough. It will be a month or so before I use it as the rifle isn't ready yet.
These are the scopes I've settled with, and invested in, after a lot of searching. The format works for me in every way. They are matched to Night Force Ultalite rings with Half Ring Level and Angle Cosign (not degree) Indicator which work perfectly with these 30mm scopes. All the information comes to the eye without moving my head. The 308 has 20mao Picatinny rails and the .223 probably just flat and the scopes mount low as one can dare.
I'm happy. Durability? I'll tell you in a few years.

Re: Anyone using a Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 4-16x5
For a lot less I like both the Zeiss Conquests and Bushnel Elite 6500. No locking turrets and illuminated reticules are the only things missing.
