One of the first .308's in the country, now resplendent (many thanks to @Mountain Bug) in a Strato Cammo stock. Was originally a F&D FW196, now a F&D UTS231.

After 40 years of marriage, we have had separate bank accounts for most of those

I’ve got an S20 Green tech coming. What is the difference between the Swarovski 6 and 8? Apart from price

The numbering is to do with the magnification. So the Z6i is x6 zoom, the Z8i is x8 zoom. So essentially the Z8i 2.3-18x56 is 2.3x8=18.4 Hope this helps.

Are you sure? I thought it was the model number as I have a Z6I with 5-30 magnification ...so its a 5-30x zoom...which would be the same magnification on the Z4 or Z8 at 5-30. Just interested

that's what the number after the Z means - how many times the base mag you get at the maximum level - the "zoom range" if you like

your Z6i starts at 5x Base mag and has a magnification range of 6 times that, so ends with 30x

a Z8 has a range of 8 times the base mag so a 2.3 ends up at 8x2.3 = 18.4 hence 2.3-18x

a Z4 would do 5x-20x (im not sure if that is even the option but you see what i mean)

so you wont ever get a Z4 or Z8 doing 5-30x

Got you...It doesnt take much to confuse my tiny little brain so your expanded explanation is spot on
