So distinctive is the design of Schmidt & Bender's Zenith riflescopes, that upon their introduction they earned
the prestigious international IF Design Award, and were selected by Field & Stream magazine as the "Best of the
Best." Their streamlined elegance results in compact, efficient scopes that complement, not dominate, your
rifles.
The full magnification range can be covered in just one 180 degree rotation—a mere half turn—of the adjustment
dial. Eye relief is a safe and comfortable 90 mm (3 1/2 inches). Our POSICON system provides a graphic
indication of the reticle's position and remaining travel within the scope, facilitating mounting, sighting in,
and insuring that you retain as much elevation and windage adjustment as possible.
On a plains game safari in Africa, an elk or pronghorn hunt in North America, rely upon this scope any time you
might need to make a long, accurate shot. A wide magnification range—from 3x all the way to 12x—lets you be
prepared for forest and bush as well as wide-open country.
FlashDot technology lets you activate a bright red dot, precisely at the center of the reticle, when conditions
dictate; or turn off the dot completely when conditions change.
In the field, the FlashDot acts much like the front bead on a shotgun, bringing your eye immediately to the
target. This is invaluable for quick reaction shots on running game or even charging dangerous game. It is well
suited to bright and harsh lighting conditions, with the bright red dot providing a precise, easily seen aim
point against the dark body of a moving animal. When the dot is switched off, the regular fine crosshairs
remain in view.
While the FlashDot was first conceived for daylight use, our beam splitter now allows a single scope to
function as a non-illuminated riflescope under normal conditions; as a FlashDot scope in bright light; and as a
fully adjustable illuminated reticle at twilight. This feature, included in some of our Zenith models, results
in a single scope that is applicable to any lighting situation the hunter will ever encounter.
A digital chip automatically switches off the power after six hours of non-use. Just in case, an extra battery
can be stored under the cover of the windage adjustment turret.
