    Zeiss Spotter 60

    Hi GUys ,

    just a few pics of me new Spotter scope .
    Its a Zeiss Spotter 60 , 72mm objective lens , 20-60x power zoom range , a " L " shaped mildot reticle in the FFP , so it grows with power , its also lit .
    Has Flourite lens , is 1.77 kg
    Lenght 334mm width 100mm height 163mm .
    Focusing 20m to infinite .

    Initial impressions , are its smaller & lghter than I thought it would be , I would like the reticle to have 1/2 mil marks as well , BUT it is what it is , for now .

    Accessories for it are .
    Sunshade
    ARDs
    Laser filter
    digi adapter

    Pics of reticle are at 20 & 40x
    Range to hill is 2.5- 3 km

    interesting reticle -I take it you would place the target in mid air and gauge the distance vert and horozntal from there
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    Nice piece of kit! I use one of the larger SLIK tripods with mine. I found it very good at picking up bullet trace and the reticle is great for "splash" correction.

    Just some news on the Zeiss Spotter , there are now 2 models available , the original spotter 60 ( 20-60x ) & now the Spotter 45 ( 15-45x ) , and the lower mag model deserves consideration , as at 15x lowest it would be much quicker to pick up tgts etc , they say the model is aimed at hot temp places like Astan Iraq etc where mirage makes 20x too much to be able to see clearly .
