First Look: Zeiss LRP S3 FFP Scope For Long Range Shooting

DIAL DOWN AND REACH OUT – ZEISS SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR TOTAL ELEVATION

NEW from Zeiss comes the LRP S3! A first focal plane riflescope designed for long range precision shooting and hunting. 

Packed with features we’ve come to expect from high-end scopes like advanced glass, daytime visible illuminated reticle, zero stop, and externally locking windage turret.

The new Zeiss S3 comes in two flavors; 425-50 and 636-56. Both are available in either milliradian (MRAD) or minute-of-angle (MOA) configurations with 0.1 MOA or 0.25 MOA click turrets. The MOA version uses the ZF-MOAi reticle, while the MRAD version uses a ZF-MRi reticle. 

Something shocking that sets the S3 apart from the market is the amount of elevation adjustment both models have. 

The 425-50 model has 46.5 MILs (160 MOA) of elevation adjustment, and the 636-56 has 32 MILS (110 MOA).

This translates to the shooter being able to dial elevation out to incredible distances. By our math, the S3 425-50 should allow for 6.5 Creedmoor to be dialed to around 1,600 yards without the use of canted scope bases.

While max elevation adjustment isn’t the defining characteristic of a scope, we’re excited to see how the S3 might impact ELR shooting for centerfire and rimfire competition. 

Unexpectedly, the MSRP for the S3 425-50 is only $2,200, putting it at the lower end of prices for high-end optics. 

The ZEISS LRP S3 425-50 and 636-56 will be available at ‘Authorized ZEISS Retailers’ beginning early October 2022 for the North America markets and April 2023 for all other markets.
