When the Blaser R8 or R93 rifle is cocked, the Zeiss Victory Varipoint iC riflescope is illuminated. A small magnetic encoder in the cocking slide of the Blaser rifle is connected to a sensor on the underside of the Varipoint iC scope activating the illuminated reticle.
This high-performance Zeiss Victory Varipoint iC riflescope features a light transmission of over 90%, Zeiss T* multi-layer coating for bright, high-contrast images, and LotuTec coating which simply rolls off water, all contained in a sturdy aluminum housing.
