Re: Where to buy Swarovski Z6i Ballistic Turret ?

yes that's my problem,I love that Ballistic Turret,but I donot where to buy Ballistic Turret for this 2.5-15X56 - BR-I reticle
 
Re: Where to buy Swarovski Z6i Ballistic Turret ?

you can't, but you can get a bt scope and possibly change the reticle, i'm waiting on a call back from my swarovski rep now, they can't change reticles on the z6i

in a tactical scope i would tend to agree, but in a hunting scope, you can't beat the Z6I scopes.

lol,
I'm a Swarovski dealer myself, old Alex is alright, but i'm better :) forgive me if i'm a little biased.

as for the scope, i asked if it could be ordered with the bt and the br in the Z6I, but it can't. as for a reticle change, that can't be done either according to my rep.

Well if you won't toot your own horn who will? I'll have to keep you in mind next time I have $1500 to $2500 burning a hole in my pocket. I'll bet if you could convince Swaro to run off a batch they'd sell every one.

I would think one or the other would be fine.

Just missing the logic not trying to be rude. </div></div>

this, but everyone has specific ideas as to what they want in a scope, personally i would rather windage hash marks for wind hold.

sitting behind a computer all day, you have to have some fun once in a while, not sure if they will do it, but if you can get 10 people in on a buy, i'll give them a call and do the best i can to make it happen

I hear what you say, I just don't see the point in buying a scope for similar $ but without the functionality. Buy a tactical and you can hunt long range, you can use it for lots of things, on different rifles and you only have to write one cheque.

I suspect most hunters have too much glass on top and may be better off with less glass and more functions.

I appreciate most people will go with the traditional view. Cheap laser rangefinders have changed the game and it is time to move on from the 'hunting' scope would be my view.

the big thing i've found is weight. a lot of guys don't want to lug around an extra ounce, much less a scope that almost weights an extra pound. a lot of traditional hunters just want the low light capability, and to hold dead on and shoot targets at 100 yards. target turrets, zero stops, etc are lost to these guys, 30mm tube and illumination are all they really need to get it done

I think I know of 2 that just off the top of my head would be seriously interested. Any idea on a probable price point for the run?
