Swarovski Z8i+ 5-40x56

• 34 mm Main Tube with 16 mrad Elevation Range: The 34 mm one-piece tube supports a generous 16 mrad elevation and 10 mrad windage adjustment range, giving long-range shooters enough reserve to dial for extreme distances.
• Illuminated 4A-I Reticle (SFP): The 4A-I reticle sits in the second focal plane and stays a consistent size across the zoom range, with an illuminated center dot for fast aiming in low light without the rest of the reticle growing or shrinking with magnification.
• SWAROLIGHT Automatic Illumination: An intelligent tilt sensor automatically switches the illumination on when the rifle is raised to the shooting position and off again when lowered, helping to conserve battery life over long days in the field.
• Enlarged Eyebox: A wider eyebox makes it easier to find a clear, full sight picture quickly, even at 40x magnification, which is particularly useful when a shot has to be taken fast.

ABOUT THE Z8i+ SERIES

The Swarovski Z8i+ series was introduced in 2025 as Swarovski Optik's long-range riflescope line, built around a 34 mm main tube rather than the 30 mm tube used on the Z8i Generation II series. This larger tube supports a wider internal adjustment range, making the Z8i+ series better suited to extreme long-range hunting and shooting than the standard Z8i line.

Scopes in the Z8i+ series share an 8x zoom ratio, illuminated reticles, and Swarovski's SWAROLIGHT automatic illumination system, which activates the illuminated reticle as soon as the rifle is brought into firing position. The series also supports Ballistic Turret Flex (BTF), a configurable turret option built around a personalized ballistic ring (PBR), allowing the turret to be tailored to a specific load and set of distances.

The Z8i+ series is aimed at hunters and long-range shooters who need both high magnification and a wide field of view in the same scope, whether for judging game at distance or taking precise shots well beyond typical hunting ranges. Optical performance, a large eyebox, and mechanical adjustment range are the series' main distinguishing characteristics.

ABOUT THE MODEL (SWAROVSKI Z8i+ 5-40x56)

The Swarovski Z8i+ 5-40x56 is the highest-magnification model in the Z8i+ series, combining an 8x zoom ratio with a 56 mm objective lens. The 5-40x magnification range covers everything from closer-range game evaluation at the low end to precise long-range shot placement at the high end, making the scope adaptable across a range of hunting and shooting distances.

The scope uses the illuminated 4A-I reticle in the second focal plane, so the reticle's visual size stays constant regardless of magnification, keeping the aiming point easy to see at both low and high zoom settings. Illumination is controlled through Swarovski's SWAROLIGHT system, which uses a tilt sensor to switch the reticle on automatically as the rifle is raised to firing position, and off again when it is lowered, extending battery life during a hunt.

Mechanically, the 34 mm tube allows for a 16 mrad elevation and 10 mrad windage adjustment range, adjustable in 0.1 mrad clicks, giving enough reserve for shooting at extended distances. The scope's enlarged eyebox makes it easier to acquire a full sight picture quickly, even at the top end of the zoom range, which adds a margin of comfort and speed when time matters. Turret configuration on this model is capped, with Swarovski's Ballistic Turret Flex (BTF) available as a separately configurable option for shooters who want a turret matched to a specific load.
