Can any of you out there tell me the difference between Zeiss Diavari "V" series and "Z" series scopes?
There seems to be a fair price difference between them but no obvious info on the technical merits of these scopes.
Thank you in advance.
Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....
The V series has longer eye relief, and a newer/better lense coating.
I seem to recall that the V's are a bit lighter too, when compairing Z's and V's of the same size, but may be wrong.

Heritage ArmsCorrect, the V's are the top of the line some of the ZMZ scopes are marketed as Conquests in the states

Claret_DabblerSo would £350, or $600 be a decent price for a Diavari V 2.5-10x50 listed as being in "as-new" condition?
This has the standard no4, non-ill reticule.
Thanks lads.

AndersThat`s a very good price. At least when compared to prices for new ones here in Norway!

mr rigbyi agree with Anders if you want a new one ,you must pay about 10-12000 nok, about 2000 us or 10-12000 in rand if iam not mistaking. (i dont have a Zeiss yet)

ozhunterNot only is it a good price, it is also a great power of scope.
I use a Zeiss 2.5-10x50 with illuminated no 4 reticule with my 7x64.

Probably my over-all favourite for European hunting. Great compromise between low light performance and moderate size. The #4 reticle is my favourite for low light hunting, yet allowing you precise shots due to the cross hairs (as opposed to the #1). The price sounds like a steal.

Claret_DabblerRepeat after me, Brian is a plonker, Brian is a plonker...
I was top bidder on this scope on Ebay. Went in with less than a minute to go, was winning at £321 and put a top bid of £360 on. Some S##t obviously had the sniper software in operation and slipped a higher bid in with 5 seconds to go. Somebody out there got this scope for £363. I checked the buggers feedback, he also bought a S&B 3-12x50 and a Meopta 7x50 in the past month. Spent over a grand on scopes in 3 weeks. Could be a dealer??

Both V and Z models (now called Classic) have the same T* coatings.
