Thread: Swarovski

Have got Z5 3.5-18x42 and Z3 3-12x50 and really rare them. Can’t comment on Z6!or 8. Both moa dial up after market turrets and both 4W reticles. They are on light weight hunting rifles (284 and 280ai). Part of reason for choosing the Swaro was weight savings compared to other options. I did not want big heavy scopes. The other plus for me is optical clarity and quality, very good low light performance. Dial up - all Swaro I’ve owned don’t dial true moa- more like 0.975in instead of 1.05in per moa. Not really an issue, they dial consistently and repeatably, you just need to calibrate the dial up and adjust your drop chart accordingly. I’ve read other reports that they are not as robust as Nf and other heavier scopes. Never had a problem myself but I am pretty careful with my gear.

Agree with all these comments, same experience as myself.

I also run a 5-25 Z5 on a lightweight 6BR varmint rig. Absolutely ideal.
