CLOSE UP TO THE TARGET

The Z8i’s impressive 8x zoom symbolizes more than versatility. It represents the expertise that we have acquired from

personal hunting experiences. Our unique, innovative strength that we use to never cease delighting hunters. And our

determination to always keep improving.

You’ve long taken up your allotted position, and are focusing your eyes. A loud cracking sound from the undergrowth shatters the morning quiet. Suddenly, a horde of wild boar is heading in your direction. You pause for breath briefly. You focus hard on sighting your target. It’s a hit. Thoughts are still racing through your head, long after some calm has been restored. But, it’s not over yet. Surprisingly, a small deer appears from the side. What a unique opportunity. Situations just made, as it were, for the Z8i rifle scope from SWAROVSKI OPTIK, which brilliantly combines a large field of view and razor-sharp details.

A sophisticated rifle scope, proving that innovative products originate best from where they are going to be used later on: in the field.

Many employees at SWAROVSKI OPTIK are passionate hunt-ers. Anyone who uses the Z8i will sense this immediately. Take the proper 8x zoom, for instance. It has been integrated into a breathtakingly slim 30-mm (1.2 in) central tube, so that it can be easily mounted on any firearm. With a sophisti-cated optical system that offers more rapid target acquisition as its crowning glory, the Z8i is a high-performance rifle scope that is unprecedented in the hunting world.

THE EIGHT TAKES YOU TO THE NEXT LEVELHow is it possible to implement a proper 8x zoom in a slim rifle scope and optical system in keeping with SWAROVSKI OPTIK quality standards? With perseverance, expertise, and vision.

A REAL 8x ZOOM. Outstanding field of view, more details. The 8x zoom will ensure that you are excellently equipped for any hunting experience. Many years of effort have gone into the development of this long-range optical masterpiece. It was only thanks to this that the 8x zoom could be implemented in a slim central tube that blends with any hunting firearm in terms of design and weight.

UNCOMPROMISING SHARPNESS. Once again, SWAROVSKI OPTIK takes things to another level with the Z8i optical system. Its rapid target acquisition, particularly when taking up position quickly, redefines viewing comfort. The Z8i also offers uncompromising image definition from the smallest to the largest magnification.

Ascending a mountain imposes ever-new demands every time. The path progresses through the mountain forest, continuing over the craggy rock formations. Up here every step counts, while the heat from the faint rays of the sun is only weak. The reward for these efforts is an authentic hunting experience.

It is our firm belief at SWAROVSKI OPTIK that good design should not be an end in itself, but must offer genuine added value. One of the clear indications of this requirement in the

Z8i is its excellent ergonomic design. The slim illumination unit provides a better overview of what is going on, while large adjustment buttons that can be reached from the top offer rapid, comfortable use.

The innovative design concept, including the slim 30-mm (1.2 in) central tube that blends with every hunting firearm, is proof from SWAROVSKI OPTIK of how elegant a ground-breaking rifle scope like this can be.

ITS DESIGN EMBODIES ULTIMATE

PERFORMANCEThe Z8i is proof that a powerful rifle scope can also set

new standards in terms of design and ergonomics. Its elegant 30-mm (1.2 in) central tube and the illumination

unit not only make the scope attractive to look at, but also make it quicker to handle.

FORM ANDFUNCTION COMBINEDIt is the seemingly small details that make the big difference. Such as the Z8i’s slim illumination unit, making the scope more practical to use. Or the parallax correction, which can also be effortlessly adjusted when in position.

ON TARGET IN THE PICTURERifle scopes are usually set to be parallax-free up to 100 m (100 yd). At this distance, the target being observed and the reticle are exactly in the same plane. The Z8i’s parallax turret allows you to set a parallax-free image, which can be quickly adjusted even when in a shooting position. The catch at the 100 m (100 yd) mark allows you to set the parallax turret easily and reliably even at twilight.

HUNTING IN STYLE Clear lines, a slim 30-mm (1.2 in)

central tube, and a compact design give the Z8i an elegant appearance

that is second to none, blending seamlessly with any hunting firearm.

READY DAY AND NIGHTThe slim reticle illumination is perfectly integrated into the overall design, with its adjustment buttons that can be reached from the top, providing maximum comfort during use. It offers day and night mode, a memory function that, when turned on, automatically restores the last brightness level you selected, and offers 64 levels of brightness control. SWAROLIGHT, the automatic switch-on/off timer with a tilt sensor, recognizes whether the Z8i is in a shooting position or not. This saves the battery and extends its service life.

BALLISTIC TURRET FLEX. The ballistic turret flex (BTF) can be configured separately and enables you always to stay on target at the desired distances. If it is used as a top turret, this can compensate for bullet drop. When used as a side turret, it is best suited to windage adjustment or for estimating the lead distance. It is flexible, can be fitted without using any tool, and can be combined with every

reticle available. A lock mechanism also prevents you from turning it inadvertently.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? The BTF can be fitted as a top or side turret on any Z8i model – you can decide which combination suits you for any hunting scenario.

ONE TURRET, FOR EVERY EVENTUALITYThe ballistic turret flex enables you to cover every possibility. It can be used as a top or side turret, and can be combined with all the available reticles.

Versatile extensions: the ballistic turret flex (BTF) in three versions

Customized special accessory: the personalized ballistic ring (PBR)

TOTALLY CUSTOMIZED: the personalized ballistic ring (PBR) provides the hunting distances that are completely relevant to you. We engrave this special accessory for the BTF based on your personal data input into the SWAROVSKI OPTIK ballistic program, adapted to the ammunition you have selected.

ALSO USED AS A SIDE TURRET.The BTF can also be used with a special ring as a side turret for windage adjustment or estimating the lead distance.

SEPARATE SIGHT-IN DISTANCES.The BTF can be assembled using four narrow rings – from a total of six supplied – with the help of the ballistic program. This allows you to set yourself the markings for another four distances that are important to you.

EASY TO READ.The pre-engraved graduated ring for the top turret features a total of 70 clicks covering the entire adjustment range, making it ideal when using trajectory tables. It makes it easier to read the markings, ensuring simple use at any time.
