Riﬂescope adjustments

Focusing

Start by looking at a distant object (approx. 75-100 yards) without using your riﬂescope. Then,

hold your scope up and look through it at a plain background with quick glances while turning

the eyepiece focus ring (9) clockwise or counter clockwise until the image of the reticle pattern

appears clear and sharp.

Note: Focusing should be done at maximum power to ensure that the image will remain sharp

within the entire power range.

Elevation and Windage Adjustment

CONQUEST HD5 riﬂescopes feature audible click elevation and windage adjustments. One click

corresponds to ¼ MOA (Minute of Angle). In other terms, one click corresponds to ¼ inch at 100

yards, ½ inch at 200 yards, ¾ inch at 300 yards and so on. In metric adjustment, one MOA (four

clicks) moves the point of impact by 29mm at 100 meters. In order to make adjustments, you must

ﬁrst unscrew the protective windage and elevation caps.

ELEVATION:

Unscrew protective cap for elevation (6).

If the riﬂe shoots low, turn elevation dial (5) counter clockwise to move the point of impact up

(“U” direction).

If the riﬂe shoots high, turn elevation dial (5) clockwise to move the point of impact down.

WINDAGE:

Unscrew protective cap for windage (7).

If the riﬂe shoots too far left, turn windage dial (8) counter clockwise to move the point of impact

toward the right (“R” direction).

If the riﬂe shoots too far right, turn windage dial (8) clockwise to move the point of impact toward

the left.

Magniﬁcation

Change the power by turning the magniﬁcation ring (1) on the eyepiece counter clockwise (to

increase power) or clockwise (to decrease power). Align the index of the magniﬁcation ring with

the desired magniﬁcation setting on the eyepiece.

Use your riﬂescope on a lower power setting (resulting in a wider ﬁeld of view) to make a quick

shot at close distance. Increase the magniﬁcation level for precision long-range shots.

Parallax Adjustment

Parallax is the apparent movement of the target relative to the reticle when you move your eye

away from the center point of the eyepiece. It occurs, when the image of the target does not fall

on the same optical plane as the reticle. This can cause a small shift in the point of aim. Parallax

causes the greatest problem on small targets at high magniﬁcation.

The higher power CONQUEST HD5 3-15x42 and 5-25x50 feature side parallax adjustment dials.

The adjustment moves a lens within the scope causing the target image and the reticle to fall on

the same optical plane. By turning the parallax dial (2), you can adjust the distance between 50

yards (45.7 m) to inﬁnity. For all distances in between, turn the parallax knob until both, the reticle

and the image, are in focus.

CONQUEST HD5 2-10x42 is set parallax-free for 100 yards (91.4 m). For distances below 100

yards we recommend using a lower magniﬁcation. There will be no parallax-induced shifts in the

point of impact at short or long ranges if you look exactly through the center of the riﬂescope.

Note: Parallax adjustment for CONQUEST HD5 2-10x42 with RAPID-Z

®

is factory set for 300 yards.

Reticle

Your riﬂescope is equipped with a reticle pattern of your choice. The reticles of all CONQUEST

HD5 riﬂescopes are located in the second image plane. This means, that only the target image is

magniﬁed and changes when the power is changed - the reticle does not change. Therefore, range

estimations with second image plane reticles should always be done at consistent power. For

CONQUEST HD5 riﬂescopes with RAPID-Z

®

ballistic reticle, please refer to page 5.

Riﬂescope installation and use

Centering the Reticle

For the optimum adjustment range, the reticle was factory pre-set at the optical center of your

riﬂescope. We recommend that you verify the center of the optical axis before mounting.

Mounting

CONQUEST HD5 riﬂescopes require 1-inch rings. Only use high quality rings and bases

recommended for your riﬂe and follow ring manufacturer’s instructions for mounting. The

riﬂescope should be mounted as low as possible, without touching anything except the mounting

rings. Before tightening the rings, adjust for maximum eye-relief with full ﬁeld of view to avoid

injury from recoil. Also be certain your scope is mounted level on the 180° axis. For sighting-in,

CONQUEST HD5 5-25x50 with RAPID-Z

®

1000 may require a 20 MOA rail or mount.

Bore Sighting

Bore sighting saves time and ammunition and is recommended to achieve proper alignment of the

riﬂescope with the riﬂe’s bore. You can either use a Bore Sighter for this process, or simply remove

the bolt and sight through the barrel at a 25 yard target. With the bulls-eye centered in the bore

(Fig. 1), make windage and elevation adjustments to move the crosshairs to the bulls-eye on the

target (Fig. 2). Be careful not to move riﬂe during windage and elevation adjustments.

Zeroing

Final sighting-in of your riﬂe should be done using the exact ammunition you expect to hunt or

shoot with.

a. Carefully ﬁre a three-shot group

b. Use the center of that group as a reference point for adjustments to windage and elevation

c. Example (Fig. 3): the center of the group on the target is two inches low and three inches right.

If you are sighting-in at 100 yards, you should make a 2-MOA adjustment up, and a 3-MOA

adjustment left. 1 click corresponds to ¼ MOA (Minute of Angle).

d. Resetting the Zero mark with Standard Hunting Turret:

The zero mark of the windage and elevation dials are set to the index mark on the tube body.

After sighting-in and moving the adjustments, pull up dial (5 or 8) out of the click-stop

mechanism and set the zero mark of the graduated ring (4) to the index mark (3). Push the dial

back into the click-stop mechanism. The index mark is used to reference or relocate the original

zero-setting if the adjustment is made for other ranges while in the ﬁeld, or for sighting-in with

new loads.

e. Resetting the Zero mark with Lockable Target Turret:

Pull up dials (10 or 12) and follow zeroing instructions above. To zero elevation dial after

sighting- in, loosen screw (11) all the way. Pull up elevation dial (10) and turn the zero mark to

the index mark on the tube body without turning the click-stop mechanism. Re-insert screw (11)

and tighten it. To set the windage adjustment to the zero mark, loosen screw (11) all the way.

Pull up windage dial (12) and turn the zero mark to the index mark on the tube body without

turning the click-stop mechanism. Re-insert screw (11) and tighten it. The reticle is now in the

zero position as determined during sight-in.

Care and maintenance

All CONQUEST HD5 riﬂescopes are equipped with the protective LotuTec

®

coating, which repels

water so efﬁciently that raindrops roll right off the glass. To clean, blow off any dust or carefully

wipe off larger dirt particle with a soft brush. Fingerprints, and other more stubborn stains should

be removed with water or a premium optical lens cleaner, and a soft microﬁber cloth. Avoid

storing the scope in places with excessive heat. We recommend to store your riﬂescope in a dry

place with good ventilation.

1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new ZEISS riﬂescope with RAPID-Z

®

ballistic reticle.

RAPID-Z

®

combined with the superior optics and performance that Carl Zeiss is known for will

provide you with the best riﬂescope to take aﬁeld or to the range.

The key to this system is the Optimal Power Setting as determined by the ZEISS Ballistic Calculator.

This will provide you with the ideal power setting in order to provide accurate shot placement

while using the holdover bars.

Most other ballistic reticle systems rely on the scope being set to its maximum power setting and

corresponding potential loss of accuracy or intuitive placement of the bars. The ZEISS Ballistic

Calculator will provide you with the Optimal Power Setting to match the numbered bars of the

RAPID-Z

®

reticle to the speciﬁc drop of the ammunition you are using.

Note: Optimum Power Setting will change with variables like elevation, bullet weight,

velocity, BC, etc. You only need to set the magniﬁcation to the Optimum Power Setting

when using the reticle holdover bars.

2. Classiﬁcation

Each RAPID-Z

®

Reticle is designed to match a category or type of ammunition. The reticles are

not limited to these calibers or uses, but the correct caliber class provides the best performance

and reticle selection.

3. Parallax

All Zeiss RAPID-Z

®

riﬂescopes without an adjustable parallax knob are factory set to be parallax

free at 300 yards. This is to help compensate for the effects of parallax at longer distances. For

those scopes with adjustable parallax, please set your adjustable parallax knob setting as needed

until both the reticle and the image are clear.

1. If you do not have internet access, please call ZEISS Customer Service to assist you in

determining the OPTIMAL POWER SETTING for your scope (1-800-441-3005)

2. If you do have internet access log on to www.zeiss.com/sports, access the ZEISS Ballistic

Calculator and follow the online step-by-step instructions to determine the OPTIMAL POWER

SETTING for your scope.

10

Here you will:

� Select your factory load or bullet (if handloading).

� Change any atmospheric conditions that will affect ballistics, i.e. temperature or altitude.

� Change any ballistics information related to handloads, i.e. muzzle velocity.

� Determine the Optimal Power setting for your scope based on the parameters you have

selected.

3. Zero your riﬂe at 200 yards using the center crosshair.* (For RAPID-Z

®

1000 see page 15) If

access to a 200 yard range is not available, then shoot at 100 yards and follow the ZEISS

Ballistic Calculator’s or manufacturer’s recommended height of shot placement over the target

bulls-eye for a 200 yard zero (example 1.5 inches high at 100 yards).

4. Once you have completed your sighting in process and are ready for shooting, remember, you

may set your scope to any power setting you wish to shoot at targets from 0 to 300 yards.

The point of impact shift between these distances is typically insigniﬁcant on big game. For

example, if you are hunting in areas with dense cover or reduced visibility, you may not have a

need for the holdover lines and simply use the center crosshair.

5. To ﬁne tune your point of aim:

� If shots are slightly high, turn the magniﬁcation ring up in very small (<1/4) power

increments.

� If shots are slightly low, turn the magniﬁcation ring down in very small (<1/4) power

increments until correct zero is achieved.

� Note: At extended ranges altitude and temperature affect Point of Impact (Example: 0 to

10,000 ft. = POI shift beyond 500 yards of 8“, or more.)

For a complete list of all factory calibers and handloading bullet types please visit the calculator

on the Zeiss web site at www.zeiss.com/sports.

5. Holdover / Shot Placement

RAPID-Z

®

reticles can be used with numerous caliber and load combinations. Holdover values

in the reticle correspond to those exact distances in yards. Once your riﬂe is zeroed at 200 yards

on the center crosshair and with the magniﬁcation ring set to the recommended power setting

(obtained on the the Zeiss website) the reticle will now be ready for long range shooting.

Example: At 600 yards use the „6“ holdover line, at 450 yards use the „4.5“ holdover line (short

line between „4“ and „5“). Reference Figures 1 & 2.

6. Features

Ranging:

Your RAPID-Z

®

reticle also comes with an integrated ranging system etched into the reticle. Note:

All ranging must be done with the riﬂescope set on the maximum magniﬁcation setting

regardless of the scope model or reticle choice. The ranging hash marks represent 2 inches at

100 yards. At the top and bottom of the ranging scale, hashmarks are

divided into 1/2 inch increments. Therefore you can range any target of known size such as a

whitetail deer’s brisket = 18” or an elk = 24”.

Simply divide the known size of the animal by the total number of inches covered, and multiply the

sum by 100 for the range to target. (Page 14: The fast ranging portion or the RAPID-Z

®

Varmint

reticle corresponds to 9” at 300 yards.) Please reference Figure 3, 4 and 5 for an example.

Fast Ranging:

Another ranging feature of the RAPID-Z

®

reticle is the fast ranging system. Please note that the

vertical crosshair directly above center and between the ﬁrst hash mark is exactly 18” at 300 yards

or 6” at 100 yards (corresponding to the standard height of a whitetail deer brisket). This is most

useful to the hunter and can be utilized to make a snap measurement in the ﬁeld (with your scope

set on maximum power) to determine if a whitetail is at a distance of 300 yards or closer. „See

page 12“. Please reference Figure 6 & 6.1 for an example.

Note: Variations in the size of game animal species can affect ranging and therefore point of

impact. It is recommended that electronic range ﬁnding devices are used whenever possible.

7. RAPID-Z

®

1000 Sight-In Instructions

The RAPID-Z

®

1000 reticle is unique in that it is the only RAPID-Z

®

reticle that is engineered

around a speciﬁc caliber and bullet type. This reticle is designed to be used with the .308 Win

load in either 168 or 175 gr. Match loads. Other calibers like the .325 WSM and .338 Federal also

work but they are the exception to the rule.

This reticle is unique in another way in that is the center crosshair is “zero” for 500 yards. In order

to zero the reticle correctly please observe the following instructions.

1. Obtain the Optimum Power Setting form the Zeiss Ballistic Calculator. When you are completed

with the calculator also take note of the Zero at 100 Yards Data provided in inches. This

number will allow you to actually zero the reticle at 100 yards for 500 yards.

2. Place the ﬁrearm in a steady gun vice or sandbag on the riﬂe range using safe practices.

3. With the scope on your Optimum Power Setting; place the 500 yard center crosshair in the

middle of the bullseye. Note the 100 yard bar will be positioned about 12” above the center

of the target bullseye. Make certain your target paper is large enough to accommodate this

difference.

4. Fire a round with the center crosshair in the bullseye. You want the bullet to cut a hole in the

paper target exactly where the 100 yard bar intersection is. Adjust the riﬂescope windage and

elevation as required.

5. The distance between the bullet hole (100 yard bar) and the bullseye (500 yard crosshair)

should be the value calculated on the Zeiss Ballistic Calculator for Zero at 100 Yards. This value

is normally is between 11”- 13” depending upon your individual ballistic variables.

6. Remember 12” at 100 yards is equal to 60” at 500 yards. This is about how much a .308 Win

Match load drops at that distance. The key is to get this calculated spacing correct between

the 100 yard bar and the 500 yard bar so you can easily sight and shoot at longer range with

the holdover bars while on the Optimum Power Setting. You can ﬁne tune your magniﬁcation

setting up or down to adjust from this zero point if required.

16

Windage:

Windage lines on the RAPID-Z

®

reticles are set to 10 mph bullet drifts. What is unique about

the Zeiss RAPID-Z

®

, is that there are also 5 mph hash marks on the solid 10 mph wind line.

Exception: The RAPID-Z

®

1000 has 2.5 mph reference marks out to 20 mph winds for even more

precise shooting. You can compensate for distance and windage at the same time by using the

corresponding holdover line. Please reference Figure 7 for an example.
