This Z5i has been developed for clearer visibility in low-light situations, to help hunters acquire a quicker sight picture on their quarry. Standard turrets are 1/4-m.o.a., while the addition of an optional ballistic turret, together with a patented four-point coil spring system, provides an easily adjustable and field-repeatable system. For more information on the Z5i, which is available with three reticle choices in the second focal plane, please visit swarovskioptik.comMSRP: $1,588-1,921.
