Swarovski Optik North America has announced a Z5i illuminated riflescope in a lightweight 1-inch main tube, with 5X zoom (2.4-12X50 mm; 3.5-18X44 mm; or 5-25X52 mm). 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.com. MSRP: $1,588-1,921.

Winchester's latest ammunition line is the Supreme Long Range centerfire rifle ammo, and that line is built around its BC Max projectile.
