Swarovski Z8i Gen2 1.7-13.3X42 Ret.4A-IF Scope

Swarovski Z8i Gen2 1.7-13.3x42 Ret. 4A-IF

The Swarovski Z8i Gen2 1.7-13.3x42 is a rifle scope designed to cover a very wide range of hunting situations, from stalking ( where definition, contrast and sharpness are required) to mountaineering and dynamic scenarios (where it is important to face fast, maintain peripheral vision and adapt to constant changes). Its 1.7-13.3x magnification range offers a very practical balance: it allows you to work comfortably at low magnifications when casting quickly, and to increase power when you need precision and target reading at greater distances. All this with 93% light transmission and optics designed to maintain a bright, clean image in varying conditions.

The optimized ergonomics of this generation, with redesigned controls, aim to make operation more intuitive and agile in the field (light changes, awkward positions, fast action). The illuminated 4A-IF reticle provides a clear reference for precise aiming, with separate brightness regulators for twilight and daylight, making it easier to keep the crosshairs visible without distracting or obscuring the target.

Features

• Wide field of view + high light transmission: offers a generous overview and very high light intensity to respond well in changing scenes, light and shadow, or low light.
• Optimized ergonomics: redesigned controls for more intuitive operation and quick adaptation in dynamic situations.
• Lightweight and compact: balanced format for stalking and active hunting, convenient to mount and operate on general-purpose rifles.
• 4A-IF illuminated reticle: designed for precise target acquisition, with wide dimming regulator to adjust the brightness at every moment.
