Swarovski Z6i 2.5-15x56

[PointBlank]

As the taxman was decent enough to send me a nice cheque the other day I thought about spending it on a Z6i 2.5-15x56 scope but it seems that a lot of places have limited stock because it is about to be superseded by a new version.
[h=2][/h]Has anyone got any information on when these are likely to be released and what the actual differences are?

Cheers

Differences are slimmer illumination turret and illumination tilt sensor mainly.Small alterations on the ballistic turret as well but the optics are exactly the same as on the Gen 1 models
Released Feb 1st I believe

Thanks for that, I think I will wait a week or two before ordering to make sure I get the newer version.

Does anyone know anywhere that is stocking the new model yet?

Is it worthwhile going for the BT model as I have had no experience with them in the past, part of me thinks that fumbling to change the turret before the shot would be a problem but I can also see the benefits if you can get an accurate range. Opinions please because I plan to get this setup as perfect as I can before I take the plunge.

I've just taken delivery of a second generation 5-30x50BT Z6i. Only just mounted it, so no outings yet. Looks good so far!.
Sportsman have them in stock.

Got mine ordered, decided to go for the BT option. Not convinced it's necessary for what I will use it for but I went crazy.

Roll on next week
