ZEISS Introduces New Generation of V8 Riflescopes

White Plains, NY – January 17, 2022 — ZEISS announces the new V8 family of riflescopes with four high-performance models. They feature a 30/34mm main tube, exceptional optical performance, an extra-large eye box, and a daylight visible illuminated dot reticle. “Our ZEISS V8 riflescopes deliver optics for the highest demands, packaged in an elegant design. That makes the four models’ ideal companions for any hunting situation,” said Björn Pados, Product Manager for Hunting at ZEISS.

The V8 riflescopes provide superior optical quality for detailed and precise images with 92% light transmission to the eye. The V8’s have SCHOTT FL high-transmission lenses for absolute natural color reproduction and brilliant details – even under harsh conditions. The ZEISS T* premium light transmission coatings guarantee brilliant images and enables you to see finer and cleaner details under challenging lighting conditions. The LotuTec coating ensures a clearer view in inclement weather conditions.

“Quickly acquiring and accurately identifying targets plays a critical role in a successful hunt,” Pados explained. Thanks to the ZEISS V8’s extra-large eye box, the riflescope offers more room to position the eye and acquire the target quickly. In addition to the optical performance, a precise reticle is also crucial. “The ultra-fine illuminated dot provides the decisive advantage with extremely low target subtension,“ said Pados.

The V8 riflescopes are available now and come in four models: the V8 1.1-8×24 for faster target acquisition, the versatilie V8 1.8-14×50, the V8 2.8-20×56 for high performance in low-light, and the V8 4.8-35×60 for maximum magnification.

Taurus Introduces T.O.R.O. Revolvers

Bainbridge GA – In October of 2023 we asked consumers what innovation they wanted to see on the heels of the 856 Executive Grade. The answer was swift and unanimous: a small frame optics ready revolver.

You asked, we answered. Introducing the first ever optics ready small frame revolvers, the Taurus 856 T.O.R.O. and the Taurus 605 T.O.R.O. Both revolvers are milled at the factory to accept the optics plate designed specifically for this application. The plate itself accepts compact red dots designed for the Holosun K footprint. For example, you could take the new 856 T.O.R.O. and mount the Holosun EPS Carry on it and be ready to roll.

The advantages to a red dot on a revolver are significant. Obviously, red dot sights are easier for many people to shoot. Additionally, a red dot can be zeroed to a specific grain weight or type of ammo, which wasn’t an option with a traditional fixed sight revolver. Read more
