Swarovski Z8i Overview

Swarovski designed and built the Z8i 2.3-18x56 P L Riflescope to deliver uncompromising optical performance, precision, and durability. With its high-quality optical system, lens glass, and fully multi-layer anti-reflection coatings, it provides brilliant and sharp images with high resolution. No matter when you hunt, a state of the art optical system will deliver bright, crisp, and clearly visible images with the extra-wide 56mm objective aperture. The objective and ocular lenses are further enhanced with the SWAROCLEAN repellent coating to ensure that water droplets and dirt can be easily removed without a trace. To help with ballistic and wind drift compensation, this scope offers a 36 MOA windage and 64.8 MOA elevation adjustment ranges with 0.36 MOA click values.

A notable highlight of this riflescope is the 2nd focal plane 4A-I illuminated reticle. Inspired by the German #4 pattern, the outline is etched on the glass and features three medium posts, a fine crosshair, and an illuminated brilliant center dot. The scope also offers 64 reticle brightness levels for twilight and daylight and SWAROLIGHT inclination-dependent activation and deactivation of the illumination.

Drawing on their tradition of engineering excellence and precision manufacturing, this waterproof and fogproof optic was impeccably constructed from high-quality, lightweight, and durable aluminum with a matte black corrosion-resistant anodized finish. Among the many highlights are 30mm single-piece maintube, capped finger-operated turrets, a side parallax corrector, and a precision zoom eyepiece. The windage and elevation gear is also compatible with the optional high-precision Ballistic Turret Flex (BTF). This turret can be used for both windage and elevation, and provides an extended range of adjustment, precision graduation, and high-traction knurling. The knob can be enhanced with custom graduation and does not require any tools for installation.
