Scope advice

[308McTavish]

Good evening, looking to get a new scope, been stalking for 30 odd years and have always liked nice glass, currently using 8x56 S and B, almost perfect for my needs. However, my eyes are changing a bit and could do with ir and variable. Would like the option of BT’s Not really looking to go digital for my scope as I’m a bit of a traditionalist, I do use thermal.
Am I looking at v6i or z6i?
Cheers,

Only one option… no connection to them but @Edinburgh Rifles had a Zeiss Diavari 6-24x56 with illuminated #60 reticle for £950 on here recently. Slight crimp marks but that’s just cosmetic - no way will they have any impact on the optical quality of scope.

For the money you won’t find anything better!

Definitely Z6i, I have the MK2 2.5-15X56 +BT.

Always been a zeiss user. The 3-12 x56 HT remains my favourite. Has IR and BT in form of ASV turret. Schott glass is superb in day and low light.

I have this scope, best scope I have ever looked through, and I have looked through a lot!

Agreed until I looked though the S&B Polar at their factory but otherwise the HT is fantastic.
