Friday, April 30th, 2010zeiss conquest 4×32
Friday, March 26th, 2010Fixed power scopes aren’t all that popular here in the U.S. sure you have tactical scopes and rim fire scopes, but for the most part, variable power optics rule here. For me, I like a fixed power scope on my 22lr rim fire rifles. I personally use a 4×32 scope on my ruger 10/22 and it fits and has done a very good job so far. There are lots of options for fixed power scopes, Burris, Nikon, Leupold, and Zeiss have some good offerings in this category. I particularly like the zeiss 4×32 conquests. The zeiss conquest line offers great glass and quality at a reasonable price. This 4×32 is perfect for many purposes, if you’re looking for a fixed power scope that is. I use my 10/22 out 10 125 yards with no problems. This scope would perform well on both a rim fire and larger caliber rifles, because fixed power scopes can take more abuse than there variable power counterparts. Mechanically, these rifle scopes are simple and tough to break. If you want a nice 4x scope for a 22 rimfire rifle or other various purposes, check out this zeiss conquest 4×32.

Swarovski Z6i Rifle Scopes
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009As one of the world’s leaders in rifle scopes, it should already be known by sport optics enthusiasts that Swarovski knows how to design a quality optical instrument. The fact that they have advanced their technology to what they have is a feat in itself. The new illumination system on the Z6 models have advanced to allow maximum illumination to perfectly view the reticle, and has been changed from red to orange for better visibility of your target. With various reticles and magnification powers to choose from, there are plenty of different combinations available for a variety of field applications.
Not only does the Swarovski Z6i rifle scope have an incredibly new illumination system, but they also carry the world’s largest zoom range of 6x and the world’s largest field of view. While keeping a large view of view and magnification range, Swarovski has not forgotten about the importance of the exit pupil. Due to the large objective lenses, even at full magnification, the field of view is still no less than 4mm on all models, providing enough light to never leave you straining to look through the scope.
Extra features on a new high-end rifle scope is always great, but sometimes this can cause design problems. Swarovski has worked through the rough edges when it comes to this with the new Z6i, and leaves us with ergonomic and functional operating controls for the advanced reticle illumination system. It has resulted in a low design that provides an unrestricted view when in the firing position. The +/- buttons have also been ergonomically arranged enabling quick and easy individual brightness control to 64 different brightness levels even with the use of gloves. There is even a power-saving automatic shut-off function that can differentiate on it’s own between night and day to prevent your batteries from dieing when you need them most.
If the ultimate illuminated rifle scope is what you’ve been after, once you look through a Swarovski Z6i rifle scope I think you will have found the holy grail. Swarovski has combined their incredible attention for detail in optical clarity with an even wider field of view, a larger magnification ranges, and even more eye relief for more safety. With the number of different reticle and magnification power combinations, there’s a Z6i out there for everyone whether you’re shooting tactically at the range or in need of superb low light performance in the woods. There is even an optional sun shield for the 1.7-10×42 and 2-12×50 models for applications with a little too much light. One look through the new Swarovski Z6i and you will be sold for sure, just so long as your wallet can take the hit.
