Fitment

Will it work with your build?

Works with

  • 30 mm scope rings and mounts

Will not work with

  • 1-inch (25.4 mm) scope rings or mounts

Requires 30 mm rings. The V3 3.5-10x42 has a 30 mm main tube, so 1 inch rings will not fit; Zeiss lists the objective tube at 48 mm.

Detail

Fitting it and the fine print

What is the difference between the three reticle options?

The Duplex (#6) is the traditional plex-style reticle, a non-illuminated choice for hunting. The SHR (#87) is a modernized MOA design, also non-illuminated. The SHRi (#87) is the same SHR design with an illuminated red center dot, ten adjustable intensity levels, and rheostat control; the battery is a standard 2032 coin cell with a 3-hour auto-off timeout.

What ring size do I need for the V3 3.5-10x42?

The V3 3.5-10x42 has a 30 mm main tube, so it takes 30 mm rings; 1 inch rings will not fit. Zeiss lists the objective tube at 48 mm, so pick a ring height that clears it over your barrel.

What is Ballistic Stop technology?

Zeiss offers an optional external ballistic elevation turret with Ballistic Stop: a hard stop set at your zero, so after dialing you turn the turret back until it stops and you are at zero.

What parallax setting does this scope have?

Zeiss lists a fixed parallax setting of 150 yards, with a fast-focus eyepiece and a -3 to +2.5 dpt diopter range.
