(GunReports.com) -– Carl Zeiss Sports Optics introduces the new 30mm Conquest Duralyt Riflescope line available in 1.2-5×36, 2-8×42 and 3-12×50 models. All three German-made models are available with illuminated reticle # 60 or non-illuminated reticle #6.
Said Michael A. Jensen, president of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, “Simply put, the 30mm Conquest Duralyt offers exceptional performance at a very appealing price point.”
The illuminated reticle #60 features a fine red dot in the center of the crosshairs. When turned off, the dot disappears and it looks identical to reticle #6 (both are non-magnifying reticles in the second image plane).
The daylight-visible illuminated reticle #60 was developed using fiber optic nanotechnology, covering just 0.3 inches at 100 yards on 12x magnification.
Illumination is activated, and brightness intensity controlled, by pressing one of the two touch keys on the eyepiece. After four hours of unaltered operation, the illuminated dot switches off automatically. For manual deactivation, both buttons must be pressed simultaneously.
The Conquest Duralyts have dark grey, anodized surfaces with deep black rubber operating elements. They are nitrogen filled to remain water and fog proof.
The Conquest Duralyt 1.2-5×36’s low magnification and wide field of view allows for quick and safe target acquisition at close range.
The Conquest Duralyt 2-8×42 provides bright images in twilight and allows for accurate shooting at moderate distances exceeding 200 yards.
The Conquest Duralyt 3-12×50 is best for shooting medium to longer distances during the day or in twilight conditions.
Expected prices for the scopes are as follows: Duralyt 1.2-5×36, #6, $950; Duralyt 1.2-5×36, illum #60, $1,250; Duralyt 2-8×42, #6 $1000; Duralyt 2-8×42, illum #60, $1,300; Duralyt 3-12×50, #6, $1,050; and Duralyt 3-12×50, illum #60, $1,350.
