The Schmidt & Bender Zenith 3-12x50 is a premium variable-power hunting optic engineered to deliver exceptional optical performance and mechanical precision across medium to extended engagement distances. Constructed around a rugged 30 mm one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum main tube with a matte-black anodized finish, the scope is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to ensure waterproof integrity and reliable fogproof performance in demanding environmental conditions.
Its 3× to 12× magnification range, paired with a 50 mm objective lens, provides a versatile balance of wide field of view and strong low-light transmission. Precision-ground, index-matched lenses are fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission, contrast, and edge-to-edge clarity throughout the zoom range. The A7 reticle is positioned in the first focal plane, allowing subtensions to scale proportionally with magnification for consistent holdover and ranging accuracy at any power setting.
The POSICON CT system integrates high-precision elevation and windage adjustments with an intuitive visual position indicator. Turrets are calibrated in precise 0.1 mrad increments with a clockwise adjustment direction, providing repeatable tracking and clear tactile feedback while allowing the shooter to instantly recognize remaining adjustment travel.
A fast-focus eyepiece supports diopter adjustment for precise reticle definition, and consistent eye relief ensures safe, comfortable use across a range of calibers. With its combination of robust construction, advanced optical engineering, first-focal-plane reticle design, and intelligent turret system, the Zenith 3-12x50 A7 delivers dependable accuracy and clarity for serious field applications.
