“This now will be my go-to scope” – the new ZEISS V8
Paul Childerley is a fan. Watch the video below and you'll see why.
The new improved ZEISS V8 riflescope family is, in our opinion, superb for its purpose.
However we wanted to see what an experienced stalker would make of it – with no holds barred. So we gave one to Paul Childerley to try out in the field. Paul is a gamekeeper, pro stalker and has been managing the muntjac and Chinese water deer population in Bedfordshire since 1998.
Watch the video below and you’ll see Paul’s honest appraisal of the new V8.

Paul Childerley comments:
Extra large eyebox
The extra-large eyebox is a feature users will notice and appreciate immediately, as it gives them more room to position their eye. Getting on target quickly is key to successful hunting and a large eyebox makes this much easier, allowing eye and ocular to work together in swift unison.
ZEISS has designed its scopes to be used with both eyes open – so the hunter feels more connected and aware of the local environment.
