Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
They are a very fine scope with outstanding glass. You will see little lover for them overall here, because of their intended purpose. The Swaro isn't very tacticool and not ideal for precision rifles. They make VERY VERY excellent hunting optics, though.

+1 on tylerw02 opinion.
Great hunting scope, I actually think they have better lowlight capability than my Schmidt and Benders do, not much, but I do notice it. For a hunting scope with the BR or similar reticle-hard to beat.

I have the 1.7-10x on my 300 wsm hunting rifle. Outstanding in every way. The FOV ot offers on 1.7x is awesome. Absolutely no tunneling like a lot of 5 and 6x erector scopes.
I have no regrets for buying mine.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
That, S&B or Zeiss Diavari are the best choices for hunting optics imo.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
I love my 1-6x24 for a close-to-medium range AR setup.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
I have a Z6i 1x6-24 on my SBR REPR. Haven't shot it over 200 yards, but I own everything from 0-200, a true 1x.
I also have a S&B 1.5x6-46 that I hunted with back in PA. After 19 years I got some specs inside ..S&B sent it to Germany and repaired at no charge.
Just now, looking out the back 40 with both scopes, I must say the the glass is equal.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
The glass is really amazing and their warranty, if not the best in the industry, is among the top 2 or 3. Take the time to look through one with a few other scopes on hand to compare the glass. I have an older Swaro professional hunter (the Z6 glass is better) that is very clear... not quite as good as my S&B scopes, but my scope is probably 10 years old. Either way, once you are at this level the difference between a Zeiss, S&B, or Swaro will be so small that other features may determine your choice.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
Thanks for all of the input. I am looking at this for a hunting scope, so it sounds like it would be the ticket. Now I just need to find one to look at if possible.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
1-6x Z6 illuminated is awesome for an AR platform.
Overall, you won't go wrong with any scope they make if it suits your intended purpose.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
Heard some rumors that a new version of the Z6, or a replacement for it, will be presented at Shot Show... Might be worth waiting another month, since that might help push down prices on both new and used ones of the current version.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
The 1-6 z6 is just a nasty scope, I would love to have one on an AR

Anyone else hear anything about a newer Z6i coming out soon? Just thinking about picking one up and would like to know if I should wait.

Re: Swavorski Z6 Scope
I also have been looking at this scope in the 3-18 though. As a rookie in the tactical world what makes this scope not suitable for tac. but possibly the best for hunting? Is it the lack of adjustability? Thanks

I have a X6 2.5-15 X 44 P on a 300 win mag. Glass is great as good as my older BR nightforces. We were shooting a life size coyote target at 650 a couple weekends ago could have used a little more zoom but picture was perfect, I would not hesitate to buy another for hunting purposes. May even sell this one as swapped up to a bigger NF BR model
Dang, you pulled an 8 year old thread right from the grave!
I have a 2.5-12x50 Z6 and it is my favorite hunting scope period.

I’ve got several pieces of Swarovski optics and I really don’t think there is anything better for hunting (scopes, spotters, binos, or riflescopes).
Most of my friends are slowly switching over after hunting or target shooting through mine.
I do have a z5 in for repair work now which they are doing under warranty (free of charge), but I honestly wish I didn’t know how their warranty worked...

The best hunting scope in existence besides the Z8i in my personal opinion. Glass quality and light transmission is second to none.
