    Swarovski Z8

    Ok so @Kelton has got me thinking about these, so who is using them? Keen on the higher mag range ones.
    I know Ryan has just got one but does anyone else have one.
    I would love to know your thoughts.

    I have a Z8i 2.3-18x56. I had a Zeiss Victory HT and a Victory Varipoint so wasn’t too sure about the Swarovski but I am very happy with it. Bit of a leap of faith buying one as it is very difficult to view one prior to buying it. If anything the reticle is a bit finer than the Zeiss but the illuminated dot is more adjustable and great in low light.

    Love mine, you pull it out of the box and it just feels quality, the glass is the best you will get and it dials flawless. Turret is awesome, I run it most the time with turret off but nice being able to just push it on and you're set for a long shot. Illumination is very nice and intuitive having it on the eyepiece and it's super sharp and crisp with no bleeding. I have the L 4A-F reticle which can switch between an illuminated circle with centre dot or centre dot only

    What good timing. I was coming on here to post a photo of a friends scope for sale. It is a Z8i 2.3-18x56 with Ballistic Turret, illuminated, lens covers and L BRX Reticle.

    As new condition and has never been mounted (he is a collector as opposed to a shooter)

    He is wanting $4200 for it.

    In fairness, i thought the same, but the Swarovski 56 somehow isnt like other brands. It seems in proportion and smaller.

    I have the 3.5-28x50 on my 7mm LRM its unreal! great glass with a wicked mag range and exudes quality and does not weigh a ton.

    It replaced a NX8 which i was very happy with but this has better balance on the rifle and better glass too.
