Swarovski Z8i 3.5-28×50 P Riflescope

The Swarovski Z8i 3.5-28×50 P is an illuminated variable-power riflescope built around an 8x zoom range and a 50 mm objective. Its 3.5-28x magnification gives the model a broad optical range, while the P version adds adjustable parallax for more precise focusing at extended distances.

Swarovski lists parallax correction from 55 yards to infinity. The scope also provides 95 mm eye relief, 93% light transmission and a 30 mm central tube. Therefore, the Z8i combines high magnification with a relatively slim main body.

3.5-28x Magnification

The Z8i moves from 3.5x at the lower end to 28x at maximum magnification. As magnification increases, the field of view narrows from approximately 36.3 to 4.5 feet at 100 yards. The effective objective diameter changes from 28.5 to 50 mm, while the exit pupil ranges from 8.1 to 1.8 mm.

Adjustable Parallax

The P designation identifies the parallax-adjustable version. Swarovski specifies correction from 55 yards to infinity. As a result, the focusing system can be matched more closely to different viewing distances without changing the basic 30 mm tube layout.

Illuminated Reticle

The Z8i 3.5-28×50 P uses an illuminated reticle system with separate twilight and daylight brightness ranges. Current factory options include 4A-I, BRX-I and 4W-I reticles. However, the exact reticle should match the markings or documentation supplied with the individual scope.

Adjustment System

Swarovski lists an impact-point correction of 0.36 inch at 100 yards per click, equivalent to 10 mm at 100 metres. The maximum adjustment range is approximately 1.4 m for elevation and 0.7 m for windage at 100 metres.

Size and Construction

The scope measures about 15 inches in length and weighs approximately 23.5 ounces. Its 30 mm central tube is available in ring-mount and rail-mount configurations depending on the exact version. In addition, Swarovski lists inert-gas filling and submersion resistance to 4 metres.
