So basically they only want to see their optics mounted on Flintlocks displayed in a museum?

Maybe we could wait for authentication before you start believing shit from the internet.
Posting some shit story from the www without even trying to verify?
There's definitely someone here on the Hide with connections to verify it. Post it in the scope forums and find out.

Blasphemy, what the hell would the Bear Pit be without people believing everything they read on the internet. You trying to shut this place down?
Way to throw water on a burning torch. The next thing you’ll say is to put away the pitch forks…
I’m not sure how close you fallow the hunting side of things and the Field Ethos, but I’d be willing to bet they wouldn’t make wild off the cuff accusations like that. Never know I guess though. I guess I’d say why Zeiss if they were to pick on a company.

I mean it’s kinda why I chose the bear pit to post. I put it up in the observation section with a more subtle title. We’ll see what they say. Field Ethos won’t just throw garbage around. But I guess assuming everyone would know that organization is kinda foolish too. I posted a link in another reply to them.
Assuming it is legitimate.
Zeiss just wants bad-ass imagery of their optics doing absolutely nothing.
No operator types, no tactical Timmy's, no competition shooters.
Hells Bells, they don't even want fuckin Fudd pics with game.
Hopefully this is internet BS, it's kinda hard to sell stuff when your marketing plan excludes every relevant target group.

I would say that sounds typical for a European company. I expect most are so liberal they can't even see the nose on their face.
I would give a shit if they actually made anything worth buying...........
I'd say this is pretty standard for Zeiss and Swarovski.
I'm surprised the LRP is Zeiss and not Hensoldt. Zeiss wants to be a "Sportsman's Brand" and let Hensoldt be tactical like Swarovski is really marketing themselves to the birding crowd and letting Kahles carry the tactical banner.

I am going to wager that there's a Zeiss pro staff here. So post it in the appropriate forum and get the facts.
Don't believe anything until verification with BS like this.
I'll wager that this is not the only place that false flag has been posted to.

sorry guys, but even if the company did say something that ass-backwards, you cannot beat zeiss for low light capability in a rifle scope, so I'm not going to get rid of the ones I have. Even if I dont buy new ones. They will be staying on my primary hunting rifles, and I will kill things with their products to spite their new ethos, if nothing else.
I have kahles, Swaro, Meopta, S&B including the T96, and none of them do better in low light than the Victory V8. Even my 20-year old Diavaris are brighter and optically better than most scopes out there.

Are they still 100% based in Germany? If so, then I think I know the reasoning behind this albeit I don't agree with it at all.
If they are still German based, they are bound to a bunch of retarded regulations based on feels in Germany. This is why the differences between what HK from Germany puts out versus the often hilarious shit HK USA puts out in US media; its the bullshit German/EU rules.
These are the same set of bullshit that literally make video game companies remove things from their games that 'violate' German guidelines; Mortal Kombat has a German version where all fatalities are disabled. That's how retarded this is.
Zeiss as far as optics (Hensoldt) has basically 1 client in Europe - the EU military. Everything else is microscopes and high end glass shit.
So with that being the case, and the rest of the EU/German bullshit rules, this makes sense. However, I think its totally fucking retarded.
But if this is for the US Market, then I have no fucking explanation other than they have determined to be a Fudd optic.

Fair enough. I get the skepticism man. I know the internet is full of fake garbage and I think I do a good job of knowing the few times it’s ok to assume there might be something there. I guess I don’t know how else something like this comes to light without out someone other than company itself shedding light on the situation. I doubt you’ll see Fox News or CNN breaking this story. If a Don Trump Jr organization is giving a heads up its worth looking into. I’m not saying fuck these guys, but from my eyes it’ll take someone to show me blasphemy to not lean in that direction. I made a more subtle titled thread in observation section. That being said I’m not sure that anyone from Zeiss is chomping at the bit to confirm it….
Ive only seen the lower $$$ ones but Igot to look through a top tier Hensoldt and it was truly unlike anything Ive seen. The tube virtually disappeared and the glass was crystal clear. Dont care much for their reticle selection.
the landowner always told me I was full of shit and was "throwing money away" with my optics until he sat in the blind with me. Long after his fudd scope lost the ability to discern between a hay bale and a deer, he was evaluating racks my Swaro EL's and then finding the deer with my zeiss.
You got to hand it to random internet media co, this was probably one of the best ways to draw more interest and subs to their brand by making an internet controversy and have it go viral.
So does that mean that they are going to disavow all those sniper scopes they made in WW2... you know... for the Boy Scouts.
I mean... they were pretty tacticool while slaughtering everything that moved while on the defensive...
Come to think of it... no semi-autos. No camoflage clothing. No urban environments. No high-capacity magazines. Adjustable cheek pieces? Nein. Dead animals? I know nothing! Children... no on zee kinder. Extended handguards? Raus!
In other words, here are Zeiss's new marketing photos! Perfect! "As Tested by zee Wehrmacht!" This ought to really boost sales in France, Belgium and Poland.
Just 'sayin.
Sirhr
Wait... did they say no pictures of Zeiss scopes with 'sensitive' species? I think this one was kind of sensitive.
Zeiss baby!
Sirhr
Zeiss baby!

Yea Donald Trump Jr played it real well.
And let’s face it, not that many people will give two shits because they’ve never bought or looked at a Zeiss. If I wanted to start a viral controversy in the shooting sports/hunting world I think I’d choose a different company than Zeiss lol.

They were all on vacation.
I actually have an original Zeiss Zielsechs that from the serial is dated somewhere in the early 1940s.
If this is all true….as I previously said, f em.
Agree with your point but zeiss is trying to get a piece of one of the fastest competition areas in shooting sports with their latest product launch. Want my dollars to support your products, then help grow the sport and support/defend what we do. Youth, tactical, adjustable cheek hardware, etc. I get guardrails for your influencers, but let’s look at your target audience and who you’re trying to take money from.
Have you thought that maybe whoever could be/maybe/trolling Zeiss is using Trump Jr to gain clout for their BS? Trump and that organization may not have a clue that they are being used?
But think about that who else would Americans love to hate? Germans. Perfect target.
I'm still trying to understand the adjustable cheek piece thing. What kind of actual woke ass bullshit is that? I literally cannot understand what the objection would be?
Probably has more to do with all the stupid social media rules and trying not to get banned on Instagram. I doubt Zeiss is anti 2A.
Not sure the Germans are on the short list of people Americans love to hate.
The French... definitely.
Not so sure about the Germans.
Sirhr
No it’s the promote safe firearm handling and zeiss protestWait so does that mean we are done with GAP now?
Both of us throwing around alot of maybes lol. I guess I’m not picking up what you’re putting down other than maybe you’re saying their account was hacked.
If you spent 10 min or so in that page and read through some things and go to their IG you might think different.

It’s my screen shot. Copper plated sixes is a dude in the hunting social community that puts a lot of the bad eggs on public blast. Calls out influencers on poaching and legal charges, etc. yes they mad the post.
I know dipshits have posted stupid shit without checking before, and you don’t know me from Adam. But I don’t just share the first bullshit clickbait headline I read.
Hacked? Faked? Internet fuck fuck game? Any half wit could have made that up on their iphone. Disgruntled from poor service? Maybe just an anti gun zealot?
That's exactly what I am saying.
Getting official release from the company or a real pro staff member to disprove or authenticate is what I am encouraging before trashing a company for something that may or may not be real.
