Swarovski Z6i 5-30x50 BT or Zeiss Victory FL Diavari 6-24x56 with illuminated reticle, does anyone have any experience of these scopes? it will be used for stalking and foxing.
Any information appreciated.

Shaun.

I've got 2 6-24 x56 zeiss and that should tell you what you need to know about them
Also most people I know who also have them wouldn't swap them as "not a better scope on the market if you want to dial"
But I'm sure whatever you choose it's going to be a top class scope

i looked through pauls and regreted it ;) i want one but unless i win the lottery i wony have one,a lot of scopes can hold there own out to 400 yards,but the clarity and image quality of his ziess was outstanding at 1000 yards,you can see where the extra money goes ;)

I looked at the Z6i when I bought my last scope. Many friends have them and they are excellent. However as I use the scope predominantly for stalking I have no need of high powered magnification.
I therefore settled on a Z4i 2.5-10 X 56 which for me is the ultimate stalking scope.The red dot can be dimmed to a pin prick and the optics and light gathering are superb. Since my purchase and having seen mine,quite a few of my buddies have bought them.
If you don't need to shoot particularly long ranges then I would suggest that you take a look at the Z4i & save a few pounds!
Cheers,
Dave
