Frequently asked questions

What does the L in the Swarovski Z6i model name mean?

L denotes the ring-mounted version. The scope's main tube fits 30 mm mounting rings. The mounting base and ring height must be selected to suit the specific rifle.

What is the difference between the Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 II and III generations?

On the third-generation 1-6x24 model, the illuminated 4A-I reticle replaces the earlier 4-I reticle. The new model has a single digital brightness control with 15 levels.

How does SWAROLIGHT work?

When SWAROLIGHT is activated, the tilt sensor switches off the illumination when the scope is tilted to a suitable angle. The illumination switches back on when the scope returns to the shooting position.

How much does one adjustment click change the point of impact?

One click corresponds to a correction of 10 mm, or 1 cm, at 100 metres. At 50 metres, the same click has an effect of 5 mm.

When is the Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 III the right choice?

This model suits a hunter who mainly takes part in driven hunts and needs a wide field of view at 1× magnification. Up to 6× magnification also makes it possible to distinguish details along a longer forest shooting lane. If you more often hunt from a stand in low light or need more magnification in open terrain, it is worth comparing, for example, the Swarovski Z6i 1.7–10×42 model, which has a larger objective lens and higher maximum magnification.

Our recommendations

Choose 30 mm rings with a mounting base suitable for your rifle. When choosing the ring height, take into account the eyepiece, bolt handle and lens covers you use. If possible, try the scope position while wearing your usual hunting jacket. With a suitable installation, you can see the full field of view when you shoulder the rifle without moving your head forward. Thicker winter clothing can change the rifle's position on your shoulder, so it is worth trying it with both types of clothing.

At the shooting range, check the scope's adjustment and how naturally you acquire the full field of view at both 1× and 6× magnification. Try the illuminated centre point in daylight and in the shade. Choose a brightness level at which the dot stands out from the background and the fine details of the target remain visible. For a longer day of hunting, take a spare battery and use lens covers during transport.

Swarovski Z6i III riflescope for driven hunting

The Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 III L 4A-I suits a hunter who mostly uses low magnification in the forest and wants to take a closer look at up to 6× when needed. If your rifle is compatible with a 30 mm ring mount, choose the L version with product code Z6-A35U6E49-03.
