I hope it's practical and not just a nice piece of glass. Zero stop? Lockable turrets? Not much to go off of from their video and website.

It does have a zeros stop. I sure hope it doesn't have locking turrets!

Great it has zero stop. If the turrets don't lock I hope they've got decent resistance like night force.

Reps will receive samples in July. It does have a zero stop along with a "sub zero" stop. I am almost 100% it doesn't have locking turrets either.

After using scopes with zero stop I wouldn't have one intended for long range that didn't have that feature. Swaro makes great glass, now if their turrets are dead accurate and repeatable these could be great scopes. I've found Nightforce to have reliable turrets, and my Schmidt Bender has proven to be dead nuts out to a mile. Wonder how these scopes will be priced.

Anyone of rokslide going to be able to try one out and give a review on it?
I do like that revolution indicator on it.

Some places like euro optic have them listed for the msrp already. MAP pricing on these is going to be between $3100 and $3500.

At 30oz this is going to be one hell of a Long range hunting scope. I cannot imagine that the Turrets will not be accurate and Precisely Repeatable, the Turrets on my current Z5 have yet to fail me, and it has a zero stop as well. Combine Swarovski legendary glass with a 30mm tube WOW... this could be the ultimate Backcoutry long range rifle scope! Super excited to say the least!

My Schmidt Bender PMII 4-16x50 weighs 33oz. Resolution, clarity, etc. have been good enough for shooting (at) marmots at a mile. Turrets have been spot on and numerous marmots between 1000 and 1402 yards have been taken over the past couple years. Swaro is excellent, but it's not SB... IMO.:cool:

I have 2 PM IIs and have the same (yawn) reaction to Swaro's efforts.

Was out shooting marmots just last weekend. One at 1317 and another at an even 1400 yards. With multiple turret adjustments over three days, for shots from 550 to 1400 yards, my reticle always returns to zero and adjustments are always spot on. I spend a lot of time on another site devoted to long range hunting, but don't recall anyone commenting on the Swaro... except their standard line and, apparently, unreliable turrets in many of their scopes. It just does not seem to be a brand that long range shooter use much. So far my Night Force and Schmidt Bender have been spot on when dialing in adjustments.
