Your demand for excellent optics at long-range shooting competitions is met with the Zeiss 3.6-18x50 LRP S5 FFP Riflescope. Designed for use at distances of 1500 yards or more, the LRP S5 has a 34mm main tube, a European-style fast focus eyepiece, a ballistic stop elevation turret (with 140 MOA of total elevation travel), and an external locking windage turret. The reticle offers fine line structures with an open center aiming design and is supported with a truly daylight-visible reticle illumination system. Other features include side parallax with an adjustment range of 82' to infinity and one of the most rigorously shock tested first focal plane riflescopes available.

Illuminated Reticle, 1st Focal Plane    140 MOA Elevation Range    Ballistic Stop Elevation Turret

The ZF-MOAi smart reticle was designed with precision shooting and long-range hunting in mind. This is a great reticle for the most challenging shots in the field and on the range. The clean, clutter-free reticle utilizes hash marks that represent 1 MOA (minute of angle), and even numbers are displayed for fast visual reference. The windage dots below centerline are placed at 2 MOA increments, so that you can easily confirm the wind's influence on a bullet's impact downrange. The floating center point of aim provides a precise hold on the most difficult targets.

Digitally controlled diffractive reticle illumination technology delivers an exceptionally bright point of aim, regardless of the amount of incoming light, allowing you to confirm precise shot placement on target.

A massive total elevation travel of 140 MOA allows the ZEISS LRP S5 to be more capable than your ammunition—and engage targets up to 1500 yards and beyond, right out of the box.

Precise adjustments provide you with absolute assurance of making the most accurate shots possible, regardless of distance.

Premium optical design with SCHOTT glass, fluoride lens elements, and T* (T-Star) coatings allows for optimum target or game identification, resolution of target, and maximum light transmission of 90%.

Final validation of the design proves the ZEISS LRP S5 riflescope withstands multiple shock tests of an enormous 1,500 g-force. Design requirements also include initial shock testing of over 800 impact cycles at 1000 g.
