Four outstanding new reticle patterns available for Conquest riflescopes. Designed exclusively for Zeiss in cooperation with Pride Fowler Industries, Inc., the new Rapid-Z reticles allow for quick and easy target holdover in an uncomplicated, user-friendly format and also provide a simple to use range-estimation feature. Reticles will be available in the standard Rapid-Z 600, Rapid-Z Varmint, and Rapid-Z 800 formats for common rifle calibers and the Rapid-Z 1000 for longer-range shooting styles..

Holdover Made Simple
Horizontal lines with yardage reference numbers indicating distances provide for accurate and easy holdover to rapidly engage targets at any distance within the capability of the reticle, riflescope and rifle being used. Yardage distances will vary depending on the format of the reticle whether the Rapid-Z 600 and Rapid-Z Varmint for use out to 600 yards or the Rapid-Z 800 and Rapid-Z 1000 for use out to 800 and 1000 yards respectively. In addition to holdover reference points, the reticles will have hold points for windage equating to 5 and 10 mph winds along the horizontal axis of the major yardage lines.

Added Ability to Estimate Range
All Rapid-Z reticles will have the added ability to perform quick range estimation through the use of a simple ranging bracket feature. The shooter will need to know the size of the target in relation to
the brackets as well as have their scope set to the power that the reticle uses for range estimation
and holdover point-of-aim. Once the target is bracketed, range estimation can be made and the shooter will be able to take aim on the target through the use of the holdover aiming points located on the vertical axis of the reticle.

Innovation and Utility
The different Rapid-Z reticles will be initially offered in Conquest MC 40, 44 and 50mm objective model riflescopes all with the reticle placed in the second image plane. The introduction of the Rapid-Z 600 and Rapid Z 800 reticles within the Conquest models marks a revolution in technical innovations for Zeiss riflescopes that brings easy to use and beneficial solutions for customers� needs.

Zeiss riflescopes with the Rapid-Z reticle will need to be set to specific magnification settings to perform the range-finding and holdover functions. An online ballistic calculator will be available on Zeiss' website for reticle power/caliber calculation. The various Rapid-Z reticle formats can be used in conjunction with over 200 common rifle calibers and bullet weights.
