Zeiss Spotter 60

Hi GUys ,

just a few pics of me new Spotter scope .
Its a Zeiss Spotter 60 , 72mm objective lens , 20-60x power zoom range , a " L " shaped mildot reticle in the FFP , so it grows with power , its also lit .
Has Flourite lens , is 1.77 kg
Lenght 334mm width 100mm height 163mm .
Focusing 20m to infinite .

Initial impressions , are its smaller & lghter than I thought it would be , I would like the reticle to have 1/2 mil marks as well , BUT it is what it is , for now .

Accessories for it are .
Sunshade
ARDs
Laser filter
digi adapter

Pics of reticle are at 20 & 40x

interesting reticle -I take it you would place the target in mid air and gauge the distance vert and horozntal from there

Hi Buddy ,

What sort of tripod do you recommend ?

Later Chris

With GST & shipping a even 5k NZD

Without gst its 4k

At a full 60x , the whole reticle is still visible

very coarse hashes tho

yeap , should be better for a ZEISS

Nice piece of kit! I use one of the larger SLIK tripods with mine. I found it very good at picking up bullet trace and the reticle is great for "splash" correction.

Yeah ,

I look forward to using it ,

Yeap , just got a new Slik tripod , and quite like it so far , here's some pics of goats at 465m at 20x .

Zeiss dont, I think Leupold does.

Just some news on the Zeiss Spotter , there are now 2 models available , the original spotter 60 ( 20-60x ) & now the Spotter 45 ( 15-45x ) , and the lower mag model deserves consideration , as at 15x lowest it would be much quicker to pick up tgts etc , they say the model is aimed at hot temp places like Astan Iraq etc where mirage makes 20x too much to be able to see clearly .

nice stuff Chris -you have the best scope money can buy for ranging use - Id be jealous if I didn't have that bushy excursion of mine :sick:

Thanks Brian , I only brought the Zeiss as I could NOT get me mitts on a Bushy , I will tyr to take her out tomorrow for another sesson .
