I have only European optics for hunting. Have the whole Victory Range of Zeiss when I think about it. They will have to outlast me thinking of the money spent...

I have a doublerifledrilling which sported a Z6i 1-6x24. Although excellent glass I find it too big and cumbersome. It has a little exit pupil compared to Zeiss V which at least in theory makes it less forgiving of eye placement when shooting in a hurry, and the ocular is way too big. Got a secondhand Zeiss V 1,1-4x24 with only red dot. Superb for driven game. Sleek and fit the gun a lot better! Have a Secondhand mint Zeiss HT 2,5-10x40 on the same gun for stand hunting in the night.

Got myself a Kimber BGR .375 the other day. Tried to put the Z6i on that one. Needed medium rings to make the bolt clear the huge ocular, and make it possible to work the bolt fast. Looked silly. Decided to sell the Z6i there and then! Found a secondhand mint never mounted Zeiss Victory HT 1,5-6x42. Fits perfect in the medium rings, good room for working the bolt, and reasonable cheek weld. I prefer 42mm as I might find myself on a leopard/lion bait one day? Dreaming is free..... in the meantime it is a mighty fine rifle for moose and bear... a straight Zeiss 1,1-4 would fit the low rings with room to work the bolt just fine.

I also have a stalkingrifle for all deer. A Blaser K95 in 6,5x57R. It is sporting a Zeiss Victory HT 3-12x56 with turret. An excellent shooter/killer from point blank to 400ish meters. The king of scopes for night stand hunting. VERY light for it size. Could be said for all the Zeiss Victory 30mm sights. They are made for hunting.

The keyword for me having that many high-end scopes is "secondhand". Saves you a lot of money, getting quality for every buck!

The only rifle not having a scope is my 1908 Jeffery .450/.400 3" double.. that would be considered rape.......
