Enhanced Features of the Swarovski Z6i 2nd Generation Rifle Scopes
The introduction of the 6x zoom magnification range for the Swarovski Z6 series of scopes was a major technological development. Not comfortable resting on past accomplishments, Swarovski added an illumination feature for various reticle configurations and in 2012 announced the release of a “2nd Generation” Z6i series of scopes that have the following enhancements:
- The scope features a tilt sensor mechanism to detect when the scope is held in the normal shooting position. This precludes the need to have to remember to turn on the illumination before shooting.
- Improved battery life due to more efficient and enhanced electronics on the scope
- The day /night switch has been enhanced to prevent accidentally turning it on
- Enhance intuitive styling and design features to the ballistic and parallax turrets
- The scope is slimmer in design
- The illumination unit is narrower
- Parallax turret has a 100m catch to allow it to return to that mark accurately
- High magnification models (>15x) have High Definition optics
- Swaroclean coatings that make the scope easier to clean and repel insects, dust etc
Swarovski Z6i scopes are available in seven different models with considerable variations of reticle and turret. Whatever your application you will be sure to find a suitable rifle scope in the Z6i product line. So whether you’re hunting running game or taking a far-away shot in low-light conditions, Swarovski has a Z6i model tailored to your needs.
Swarovski Z6i Rifle Scope models:
Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 - With an impressive 127.5ft field of view, you will certainly have the edge over others, especially when hunting a moving target.
Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10x42 - Considered by many to be the best scope for “all around” hunting. Starting with a 1.7x magnification and jumping all the way to a 10x, the application of this scope seems almost endless.
Swarovski Z6i 2.5-15x44 - Western hunters favor this model with it’s smaller objective, side parallax and 15x magnification. Shooters have all the necessary necessary tools to reliably make long distance shots.
Swarovski Z6i 2.5-15x56 - The larger objective and HD glass promise excellent light-gathering and overall exceptional optical performance. Add a ballistic turret to the standard parallax correction and nothing will be safe day or night.
Swarovski Z6i 2-12x50 - The perfect twilight scope for any application. Whether you’re hunting in dense woodlands at 2x, or making long distance prairie shots at 12x, this scope provides a wide-range of application.
Swarovski Z6i 3-18x50 -
Swarovski Z6i 5-30x50 - It’s hard to imagine, but these scopes really do outperform many spotting scopes. If seeing detail is as important as hitting the target, these are the scopes you should be considering.
