Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P: Hunting is essentially made up of people, but also of accessories, such as rifles and aiming optics. In this field, common accessories and luxury accessories are distinguished.
Several times, in the course of our discussions, we have reviewed both of them, but today, for the sake of hunting news, we are once again dealing with a luxury product, or rather an ultra-luxury accessory, namely the Swarovski Z6 rifle scope. / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P.
This spotting scope is made by one of the most prestigious companies in the sector, where the concept of luxury is perfectly combined with technology and high functionality. The Swarovski Group, in fact, during its very long production activity, has been able to propose hunting and non-hunting optics, with high performance and unimaginable visual capacity.
Usually, the perfection of Swarovski optics is such that there are no comparisons, or rather it is not possible to make them. The cost of the optics made by this prestigious company reflects its value and is slightly above the market average. A Swarovski rifle scope costs, in fact, almost as much as a rifle and all this seems impossible, but in reality it is not, because a spotting scope with a powerful and perfect vision allows you to see beyond all limits, even beyond the impossible.
All those who use or have used Swarovski aiming optics speak of an inimitable vision and excellent visual performance that soon make you forget and even amortize the purchase cost of the product.
The Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P rifle scope, in particular, is part of a brand new generation of sighting optics, indeed of the "second generation", as it was renamed by the same company, which launched the riflescopes of the Z6 series only in 2007. The Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P model is a very high resolution spotting scope, with magnifications and zooms that can reach up to thirty times the size of the target. The product is ideal for hunting at long distances, especially in the high mountains, where, due to extreme climatic conditions or the high resistance of the game, it is necessary to attempt shots even over 300 meters away. With this in mind, you can view any long-range wild, from the smallest to the largest. Some hunters fear that hunting at long distances is not ethical or materially possible and that, therefore, a riflescope like the Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P may prove superfluous.

In reality, hunting, if conducted in the right period and with the right attention and equipment, never goes beyond the concept of ethics. An unethical or improper hunt is only one that borders on poaching or any unauthorized and unlicensed activity. Hunting well and with excellent results cannot even ignore the use of the right accessories. The Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P spotting scope is just one of them. The small size of the reticle aiming points, the 30x magnification, the lateral parallax turret and the HD optics are the major strengths of this product, inimitable and unsurpassed in long-distance hunting, but only if used correctly. The optic we are talking about is, in fact, a variable telescope, that is, it allows different possibilities of magnification.
In variable optics, if the object to be observed during magnification is displaced with respect to the center of the exit pupil (and forces the eye not to focus on that center), a vision error is created, called "parallax error ”, Ie the object is not displayed in the correct size. Modern aiming optics are now equipped with parallax correction systems. These systems can be subject to manual adjustment, which prevents the error from being displayed up to a certain distance pre-set by the user. If the latter fails to adjust it well, he will always find himself displaying that error, risking not to center the aim. The problem often occurs in variable aiming optics.
In the Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P spotting scope, the parallax error has been corrected by the manufacturer using the lateral parallax turret, a device that allows the error to be avoided even if the target is viewed laterally with respect to the center of the pupil. exit. With this function, not present in all models of the telescope and to be chosen if you have difficulty with manual adjustment, all the problems of use and adjustment typical of variable optics are eliminated. The other technical features of the Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P rifle scope are: 5-30x magnification; effective lens diameter 48,2 -50 mm; exit pupil diameter 9,5 -1,7 mm; exit pupil distance 95 mm; field of view m / 100m 7,9-1,3; field of view in degrees 4,5-0,75; subjective field of view 22,8 degrees; diopter compensation from -3 to +2; transmission 90%; twilight value according to DIN 58388, 14,1-38,7; correction of the point of impact per click (mm / 100m) 5; maximum vertical and lateral adjustment (m / 100m) 1,2-0,7; central tube diameter 30mm. Swarovski Z6 / Z6i 5-30 × 50 P is approximately 398 mm long and weighs approximately 640 grams.
Its price varies according to the type of integrated reticle and the presence or absence of the parallax corrector. The model with Plex reticle and parallax corrector costs 2043 euros, while the one without parallax corrector and with Plex or BRH reticle costs 1917 euros.
