I'd bet the farm they are very, very nice. I wish they would have kept the 2.5-10 X 42, as I don't much like the 50mm + objectives. But, if I want a 42mm, I guess it's a 1.5-6X. Love the LotuTec coating and Zeiss is a top notch player. If you got the coin, go for it.

Not sure, this may be a marketing gimmick to increase sales. I'm not sure how much more Zeiss could really improve their Victory line.
I have their Victory 3-12x56 and you can sit 2 hours past dark with that thing. Really how much better can a scope get?

ordered 2.5-10x50 with 60 ill. dont know what to expect. didnt have top scope yet.
it was funny, but my first choice was victory diavari, but I ordered varipoint 60 + asv. but zeiss dont manufacture them anymore in non-iC version. neither victory diavari illuminated, just non-iluminated. so i left with only 2 choice for victory 50mm & illuminated & mount rail: varipoint iC or HT. i choose the last. and salesman gives me BIG discount |

Yup. A couple of the big NYC optic joints have them listed at $2400 for the 2.5-10x50. I think I'll wait alittle while longer till they can figure out a way to charge even more for a riflescope.

After reading about them a bit more, it appears that even with all of this new technology, they keep going up in weight, even if it's 1-2 oz. I would think that with all of the technology out there, they could be making them a bit lighter. I still like my Swarovski PH series. Good balance of lightweight and great optics.

i dont think they can be lighter AND stronger, reliable, for a good price. optics is from glass, and here maybe they cant do anything, and tube is from aluminium.
nothing fancy with titanium, beryllium or carbon, ceramics... for 5× price. |

How much better can it get than the previous Diavari FL rifle scopes, really? Huge mistake not having a 40-42mm obj to offer IMO.

Yup, if they want to market those here (successfully) they'll need 42mm models. 50mm hunting scopes were the schizzle 20 years ago.

There is a 3-12x42 on another site for sale (NIB) for sale by owner for $1400. Good deal for certain, but, mon-o-man that's alot of coin for a hunting scope.
