Any word from the reps on how the glass stacks up against the Z6i? I still run MOA and if the new line carries over Z6 optical performance, I may seriously consider some purchases in the illuminated 4W 3.5-18.

 

[gr8fuldoug]

My understanding is that it's certainly as good, if not better, than the Z6.

 

[Kimber7man]

Will patiently await them to provide with mil based dials….

 

[Pronghunter]

I have a Z5i on the way. I’ll post up after I spend a week or so with it. I don’t have a Z6 anymore, but I do have an older Z5 and a Z8.
Z8 took a so it’s going in for warranty, but I will compare glass before I send it in

 

[kdstitt]

I think their glass is the same as the z5,hence the name. The plus is for the 30mm tube.

 

[Steve O]

Talked with the rep at Sheep Show. Their goal was 20moa, 20 oz, and under $2000. Looked nice, waiting for Ryan and Form to put one thru the paces.

 

[Fritz D]

Hopefully its tougher than the 1” tubed Z5 or else what’s the point?

 

[gr8fuldoug]

We think you'll find the optical quality of the the new New Swarovski Z5+ & New Swarovski Z5i+ Riflescopes is outstanding

 

[northernbill]

The Z5+ 2-10x42 looks very interesting, and at 14 ounces, a real contender for a light weight rifle. Another one that has caught my eye, is the Z6 1.7-10x42. FOV is around 75 feet at 100 yards. That would make an incredible scope for hunting thick cover. How do the two scopes compare?

 

[gr8fuldoug]

The new Z5+ optically is superior, you'll love it

 

[SDHNTR]

Do they still have plastic turret guts?

 

[WMDM]

Do they still have plastic turret guts?

Same question!

 

[gr8fuldoug]

The only part of the elevation turret that is polymer are the 4-colored rings should you choose to use them.

I saw the post about the tracking returning to zero, but has anyone had any input on the durability? Im not even super interested in a drop test per say, just wondering if normal bumps and bangs have impacted zero

I think they are too new to have any durability track record. Mine has been great so far, I’m really liking it. But then again I treat my scopes like optical instruments and if I happen to drop it, it’s a mistake.

I’ve only been on here about a month, and when I was told they did drop testing I was intrigued. What was more amazing is the amount of credence attributed to the testing process.

If you were really going to test this, the scope needs to be attached to the rifle during the test. More than likely much more damage would occur to the scope and/or rifle if you dropped it from 3 feet with scope attached, like what would happen if you were hunting. Do it 9 times from three feet, something is breaking.

NOBODY removes their scope from their rifle and drops it numerous times. This replicates nothing that would happen in real life. I would also never base a buying decision on a test like this. Heck, I wouldn’t remove the scope and replace it without rechecking the zero.

How about we all be a little more careful and don’t prop our rifles against trees where they can tip over? Scopes are designed to hold up against recoil, excessive side impacts not so much.

This is only my opinion. As far as the drop testing goes, carry on. It makes fun Internet.

Thread 'Scope Field Eval Explanation and Standards'

Jan 1, 2022

This will be about the “why” of the field evaluations- specifically the drop “tests”.


Let’s have a thought experiment. Let’s say you have spotted a buck across a valley, planned and executed a stalk which when you get to the last little knob up ahead, will put you within 400-450 yards of the buck. He’s a good buck, you’re excited and in your haste you slip and fall on top of your rifle. You try to protect it, and it’s not a terrible hit, but the scope did impact the ground hard enough to make you cringe.

What do you do? How confident are you that the scope will still be zeroed? Do...

Thanks! Could somebody link a video to the process?

Thanks for the link. Do you know what the proof rifle and scope are and are there videos of these tests? Thanks for your time.
