OK, so it's a new scope with a 6x power zoom range. Just with that info, I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that we are not talking about 5 hundred dollar scopes? I'm sure when they release them they will be great.

I know what the Z6 series is and I am also very convinced that those new scopes will destroy the market for Zeiss, SuB , Kahles and the other high ends optics for 1-3 years before they catch up and have redeveloped their sights. I have only testfired the scopes with not to many rounds, but they are winners, belive me..............

Thank you Technika for the info. I am very curious to see the features that the Z6 is going to bring to the optics world.

This is my very 1st post but I've read this forum for a long time & I've bought some nice scopes from SWFA. You're exactly right about Swarovski. I've researched them & have hunted with them, they have brilliant marketing strategies to make you think they are the best. They are very good optics, but not the best IMO. I own 2 Khales scopes & several Zeiss scopes. And personally I feel Khales is right there with Swarovski & Zeiss scopes are better for clarity & low light gathering ability.
I'm very interested though to see what this is about. |

Welcome to the OT
Yes Zeiss scopes are better than Kahles and Swarovski at this time. Obi wan have you tried any of the new Lotu-tec coated Zeiss scopes?

Thank you.
No not yet. The last Zeiss I purchased was in 2004, they started with Lotu-tec this year.
Have you hunted with any yet?

No, I have not seen one yet. Zeiss started putting this coating on thier scopes late this year. I am very curious , sometimes these advanced coatings take the glass to a new level of performance. I will be going to Vegas soon and I am going to check these out. I am using S&B's at this time for hunting. |

What is going to be so drastically better about these new Swarovski Z6 scopes besides them having a 6X erector lens system??? If they are really going to be that much better than the Zeiss Diavaris's I own I will buy one but to really be that much better is really hard for me to believe. Seeing is believing so can't wait to see the new product.
