Zeiss Duralyt… tube length?

Anonymous · Dec 21, 2013

Does anyone have a scope they can measure or know of a published source for the tube length of a Zeiss Duralyt?

I'm looking very hard at one for my Kimber 8400 '06. It has a very long magnum receiver and measures ring to ring just a smidge over 5.6".

I can go to extension bases but I dislike them immensely and would likely try something else.

The best I can find is overall length of 11.88 inches for the 2-8X42 (http://sportsoptics.zeiss.com/hunti...opes/conquest-duralyt-riflescopes.html#models). The 3-12X50 is reported to be 13.66 inches.

Thanks for the quick response.

I saw the OAL published… was hoping more for the length of the main tube after the ocular bell and power ring and before the objective bell. Sort of a max ring spacing figure.

I realised what you were seeking. Unfortunately, they don't give those dimensions. Perhaps someone who has purchased one will shortly give us a measurement, however.
