Ultimate hunting scope...Swarovski Z8i 2.3-18x56.

I’m changing up one of my hunting rifles to be more of a long range precision rig, and although I absolutely love this scope...I no longer have a place for it. It sat on a 6.5 Grendel AR for the last year or so, and is in 100% perfect condition. The glass and low light performance is phenomenal.

This scope has the 4A-I illuminated reticle, and is currently mounted in a 1.5” high Seekins Precision MXM mount, O moa cant. I can separate if the buyer doesn’t want the mount.

Also included are Swarovski magnetic lens covers/caps, and the Ballistic Turret Flex. The turret allows you to set 5 individual rings to your specific load, similar to Leupold’s CDS that you do yourself. It’s currently setup for my Grendel, zeroed at 100, ring 2 is 200 yards, 3 is 300 yards, 4 is 400 yards, 5 is 500 yards. Buyer can easily set these to his preferred round.

For the package, I’m asking $2900 insured & shipped via USPS or UPS, buyers choice. Will consider trades for a ZCO420, ZCO527, TT 525, or a NF 7-35, all mil/mil, +/- cash on my end as needed.

I have 2 of these... this gentleman is correct, one of the best hunting scopes around, bar none. Wish I had the funds!

For those like me that just want mil turrets the Z8i with the kit OP has it can be configured to that easily. I just use the mil turret on my 2-16x50 and 7 mils gets me plenty far on a 300 win for hunting purposes.

They are phenomenal scopes and this post is a great deal.

Bump, price drop...$2700 for the scope and mount, $2575 for the scope alone.

Ideally, I’d like to trade for a 7-35 mark5 or a 7-35 ATACR.
 
I’m half tempted to buy or build another hunting rifle, just to have something worth putting this scope on.

Just don’t think my wife would be too thrilled with me if I did that, along with buying the NF 7-35 that I really want to replace this with.
 
Understand that totally Damned if you do Damned if you don't lol
 
Wish i had seen this thread earlier....i just bought a used one w/ out any accessorires like this one comes with.
Probably my fav. hunting/low light scope ever.

Not sure if this is still available. Free bump if it is....

I do still have it, but decided to hang on to it. Ended up turning one of my hunting rifles into more of a long range precision rig with an ATACR 7-35 on top. I’ll be throwing this Swaro on a new hunting rifle, which will likely be a 16” Fix in 6.5 creed.
