Swarovski Z6i series riflescopes

The Z6i series is a well-known line of Swarovski hunting rifle scopes that was updated in 2013 and includes models with great optical performance and a wide field of view. The two original models--the 3-18x50 and 5-30x50--were discontinued when the improved Z8i series was released.

The Z6i series includes the following models: Swarovski Z6i gen.2 2.5-15x44, Swarovski Z6i gen.2 1-6x24, Swarovski Z6i gen.2 1.7-10x42, Swarovski Z6i gen.2 2.5-15x56 and Swarovski Z6i gen.2 2-12x50.

The optical performance of Z6i 1.7-10x42

The Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10x42 riflescope has variable magnification between 1.7x and 10x, with an objective lens diameter of 42 mm. It has a wide field of view allowing hunters to be effective in driven hunts or when actively stalking game.

Physical properties

The Z6i 1.7-10x42 riflescope is a great option for hunters due to its slim and light design with a 1.7-10x magnification range, perfect for most hunting needs. The parallax is fixed at 100 meters.

The Z6i 1.7-10x42 rifle scope features a 4A-I reticle which is thin and illuminated, situated in the second focal plane. Many other types of reticles are no longer being manufactured.

The illumination system of the Swarovski Z6i riflescope provides a sharp, precise red dot in the center of the reticle and allows for precision tuning by using two buttons to choose between daytime and low light regimes. It is one of the best systems on the market.

The Z6i 1.7-10x42 has capped plastic turrets which can be reset by pulling them up or pressing them down. The turret design is reliable and the windage turret doubles as a spare battery holder for the illumination system.

BDC Turret

The Swarovski Z6i 1.7-10x42 scope can be ordered with a BDC turret that uses marks and small color dots to indicate different distances. The second generation of the turret has a locking mechanism, and black rings, and can cover a distance of up to 400 meters with only 45 clicks if the scope is zeroed at 100 meters.

A Personal Balistic Cam

Swarovski offers a personalized ballistic cam that replaces the standard turret's colored dots with distance numbers that are easier to read. The device is customized based on information about the rifle and ammo so that users can quickly choose shots without confusion in time-sensitive situations.

Swarovski SR rail model

The Z6i 1.7-10x42 rifle scope can be attached to an SR rail or a 30mm ring mount. Rail mounting is more stable and is preferred by many.
