Thread: Swarovski Z8

Ok so I want to hear from anyone that has a z8 3.5-28 mounted in standard rings not 20 MOA.
I want to know once zeroed at 100M how much dial do you have left.

Enough to get to 500m just.....
Theres down sides to having the best glass, and the fact it looks like the hubble telescope mounted on your rifle.

The Swarovski info says 14 mil of elevation so if its centred then half of that - 7mil available. That should be enough to get to maybe 800 with a 6.5 or maybe 900 with a 300 Mag.

Yes that's what you should get that's why I feel a bit pissed only getting 3.5mil

Check to see where your elevation dial is currently at


Dial one way and record

Dial the other way and record

Then dial back to your current zero setting


See if your currently in the middle or closer to the “ top” setting


Might need to shim your rear scope ring 10 thou

Yip done all that I have of the 140 clicks I'm 35 from top and 114 from the bottom.
I can't see why a high end scope mounted in a very standard set should use so much of the elevation just to zero it.
So I have re centered the reticle and will resight it in just to re check.
