Powerful riflescope for low-light hunting
The Swarovski Z8i 2.3–18x56 P features a large 56 mm objective lens, an impressive 8x zoom, and a razor-sharp illuminated reticle in the second focal plane. This riflescope is the perfect choice for evening hunts, long-range shots in open fields, or any versatile application in your hunting territory.
The combination of high light transmission, a fine illuminated dot with automatic activation, and excellent edge-to-edge clarity makes the Z8i 2.3–18x56 P an indispensable tool for hunters.

Built for demanding situations – day or dusk
Thanks to its excellent brightness and versatility, the Swarovski Z8i 2.3–18x56 P performs exceptionally well during twilight stalks, accurate shots in fading light, and reliable target identification over long distances. The large objective diameter ensures a bright image in poor visibility, while fine zoom increments give you full control in every hunting situation.
Illuminated reticle with auto activation
With SWAROLIGHT technology, the scope automatically detects when it’s in shooting position and activates or deactivates the illuminated dot accordingly. This saves battery life and enhances usability. The ultra-fine, daylight-visible dot remains clearly defined even at high magnification and doesn’t obstruct your target – ideal for long-range precision or tracking moving game. Choose from four illuminated reticles, all located in the second focal plane for consistent subtension across the entire zoom range.

Add the TL+ throw lever and the AFL anti-fog lens for a customized setup to match any hunt. The 30 mm main tube ensures wide mounting compatibility and a rock-solid fit, whether or not you use the optional SR rail.
