Description

The Swarovski Z6i 1.7–10×42 II BT L (4A-I) riflescope is a high-end optic engineered for hunters and shooters who demand optical excellence, flexibility, and durability in a wide variety of environments. Its 1.7×–10× magnification range gives you an exceptionally wide field of view at the low end — perfect for fast target acquisition and tracking moving game — and ample reach at higher powers for detailed observation or mid-range shots. The 42 mm objective lens delivers excellent light gathering for dawn and dusk performance, with premium coatings that enhance transmission and minimize flare.

At the heart of this model is the illuminated 4A-I reticle positioned in the second focal plane, providing a consistent reticle size across all magnifications and an illuminated aiming point with adjustable brightness for varied lighting conditions. The Ballistic Turret (BT) allows you to program and dial in custom elevation holds for multiple distances, improving accuracy and repeatability on the range or in the field.

Built around a rugged 30 mm main tube, the Z6i offers waterproof and fogproof performance, with inert-gas purging and reliable adjustments (0.36″/100 yds per click) for windage and elevation. Eye relief remains generous throughout the zoom range, and the scope includes premium features like automatic reticle shut-off (Swarolight), tilt-sensor battery conservation, transparent lens caps, spare battery storage, and a microfiber cloth.
