Long-Range Confidence When Shooting Light Is Fading

The Zeiss V8 NA 4.8-35x60 is precision-built for long-range hunting in North American conditions. SCHOTT glass with FL and HT lens elements delivers 92% light transmission, keeping your target visible when shooting light is fading fast. The 34mm main tube houses an external elevation turret with .25 MOA adjustments and a ballistic stop, giving you repeatable dialing confidence after a hard pack-in. This rugged optic has been impact-tested to 1,500 g-force and is waterproof to 13 feet for two hours — field-tested durability that holds zero season after season.

Glass That Holds Zero After a Rocky Pack-In

The V8 NA has been torture-tested through 800 impact cycles at 1,000 g-force and final-tested to withstand multiple cycles at 1,500 g-force. That is the kind of field-proven durability that separates a scope you trust from a $2,000 mistake — the optic that held zero at the range in September and shifted four inches after one horseback ride into elk country. At Hunt Premium, we do not list optics we would not bet a tag on. This Zeiss earned its spot because the zero stays where you set it, whether you are hiking four miles to 11,000 feet or bouncing in a truck on Forest Service roads.

92% Transmission When Shooting Light Runs Out

92% Transmission When Shooting Light Runs Out

SCHOTT FL and HT lens elements deliver a guaranteed 92% light transmission through the 60mm objective. On a late-season mule deer hunt, that means resolving antler tines at distance during the final twelve minutes of legal shooting light — when the difference between a clean ethical shot and watching a buck disappear into the timber is measured in photons, not guesswork. LotuTec coatings shed water and debris on the exterior lenses so the image stays clean in driving rain on day six of a backcountry hunt.

Dial With Confidence at Extended Range

Dial With Confidence at Extended Range

The precision-built external elevation turret tracks .25 MOA per click with a ballistic stop that returns you to your zeroed position without counting revolutions. For a long-range hunter dialing 20-plus MOA for a 600-yard shot on an antelope in Wyoming, that zero stop prevents the kind of error that costs tags. The 4.8-35x magnification range gives you the flexibility to scan at low power in heavy timber and crank to 35x for precise shot placement across open country. The extra-large eye box keeps you behind the scope through the entire magnification range.

Mounting Compatibility

The 34mm main tube and 67mm objective bell dictate ring selection and available requirements on your rifle.

  • Requires 34mm diameter scope rings
  • Objective bell measures 67mm — verify ring height and barrel available
  • External elevation turret needs adequate ring height for unobstructed dialing

Hunting Applications

Configured specifically for North American long-range hunting scenarios where dialing precision and low-light performance matter most.

“I glassed a bull at 680 yards with 12 minutes of shooting light left. Could count tines through the V8 when my spotting binos were already done. Zero held after a three-mile horseback pack-in to base camp. This is the scope I should have bought 10 years ago instead of cycling through three others that cost me shots.”

The Pinnacle of Optical Performance. The Zeiss V8 NA 4.8-35×60 #90 AHR 522143-9990-040 is specifically configured for North America and long range hunting. The Zeiss V8 NA 4.8-35×60 #90 AHR 522143-9990-040 features an external elevation turret, .25 MOA turret adjustments, and illuminated reticle #90. The distinctly innovative optics utilize exotic glass types, from SCHOTT glass, consisting of multiple FL (fluoride) and HT (high-transmission) lens elements. The optical system yields an impressively bright image, with a guaranteed light transmission value of 92%. The exterior lenses are then protected from environmental abuse with ZEISS’ LotuTec protective lens coatings. An immediate advantage of these designs is the extra-large and extra-friendly eye box that allows for faster target acquisition. The specialized optics are housed in a modern and compact 34 mm main tube design. The external elevation turret with ballistic stop adjusts clockwise for bullet impact down and counter-clockwise for bullet impact up. The opto-mechanical system has been torture tested to endure over 800 cycles of impact testing at 1,000 g-force and final tested to withstand multiple impact cycles at 1,500 g-force. V8 scopes are waterproof to 13 feet for up to two hours – further confirming that ZEISS quality standards are achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are taking shots past 400 yards in low-light conditions, the 92% light transmission from SCHOTT FL and HT glass is a measurable advantage over scopes in the $1,500–$2,500 range. The 1,500 g-force impact testing and 34mm tube construction mean this scope holds zero through the kind of field abuse that shifts lesser optics. You are paying for glass that holds when the shot window opens on a bull you have waited three years to draw.
Yes. Hunt Premium is an authorized dealer for Zeiss. That means your V8 NA ships with the full manufacturer warranty — no gray-market risk, no voided coverage if something fails 18 months after purchase. Every optic we sell comes with verifiable authorized dealer status. When you spend $3,999 on a scope, the difference between authorized and unauthorized is the difference between a lifetime investment and an expensive paperweight.
The V8 NA is built for long-range hunting — shots from 300 to 800-plus yards across open country, high desert, or mountain basins. The 4.8x low end works in timber, but this scope shines at extended range where the 35x magnification and .25 MOA external turret let you dial precisely. If your typical shot is under 200 yards in heavy cover, a lower-magnification scope may serve you better. Call us for a free pre-purchase consult to match this optic to your caliber, reticle preference, and hunting application.
Zeiss subjected the V8 to 800 impact cycles at 1,000 g-force and final-tested it at 1,500 g-force. It is waterproof to 13 feet for up to two hours. The LotuTec coatings shed water from exterior lenses in rain and snow. This is season-after-season glass designed for the kind of conditions that destroy lesser optics — temperature swings from 90-degree August antelope hunts to single-digit November elk mornings, hard pack-ins on horseback, and wet coastal bear hunts.
Zeiss does not run featured pricing on the V8 line through authorized dealers. The $3,999 price is consistent because Zeiss controls MAP pricing across all authorized channels. Waiting will not save you money — it will only cost you hunting seasons with lesser glass. With Affirm financing, you can put this scope on your rifle now for a monthly payment that fits your affordable instead of waiting 18 months to save up.
At 35x, you can resolve fine details — antler tine configuration, animal orientation, exact hit placement — at 600-plus yards. For a long-range hunter shooting across open basins or high desert, that magnification matters. For timber hunters taking shots under 300 yards, the V8 still works at 4.8x low end, but you are carrying more scope than your application requires. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether this is the right tool or if another optic fits your hunt better.
