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.
sorry mate iv being having dirty thoughts myself it woke me up at 3am where I started justifying it to myself:O_O:
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
You bugger and all this time at home is not good either.Quote:

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.
Good price but the 56mm is blimen large
Very very good price with bt and lens covers
Bloody hell mate you know how to tempt a guy.Quote:

In fairness, i thought the same, but the Swarovski 56 somehow isnt like other brands. It seems in proportion and smaller.
I've pm you for some picturesQuote:

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.
Dont get Andy started Cam :D
I was offered the Rail version a while ago New for 4350Quote:

Not common I'd say if I was down the blaser route I think I'd run a rail just cause . Are they as sturdy as ring mounts? I see the rail set ups in the European driven Boar shoot scenarios alotQuote:

@25/08 IMP I'd say go for it. Quality product.
I have the Z8i 1.7-13.7 x 42 on the .25-06 & a Z6i 3-18x50 HD on the rem mag. TBH I cant really tell much between them.
Really like the adjustable illuminated dot for shooting in low light. Best glass I've looked through hands down.
I took your guys advice and brought a Z8 only sighted in so far but very happyhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8cacda017d.jpg

I'm running a Z6 2,5-15x44, hard to beat Swaro. The Z8 is stunning
That zoom range would cover 99% of big game hunting scenarios though some prefer more top end.
Yeah mine goes to 18xQuote:

Yeh, I DEF like having the 18 available on my Z5 past 500yds though not at very last light.
