scope for foxing

[Reado]

Spend the extra and get a Swaro Z6i with BT's, 5-30 x 50 this will be the only scope you will ever need!
longest lamped Fox was 406 yards with this amazing scope.

I've got the same scope and can't fault it, to my eyes there is nothing in it between it and the zeiss 6-24x56 a mate has one and side by side at last light there isn't a noticeable difference. My only regret is not getting one with the ballistic turrets but I might get them fitted at some stage, the main difference when I bought it was about £400 and a fair wait to get the zeiss hence my choice and no regrets at all. I'd always want more than 12x with a foxing scope it makes life far easier.

Z6i has illuminated reticle. I have a gen2 Z6i 2,5-15x56 with BT and have never used the illumination.

The BT option does cost a bit more but I believe you can also buy the BT as an after thought and retrofit it yourself - I don't think you have to send it back to Swarovski but someone else may be able to confirm. I ordered it with the BT, and also as rail-mount as I preferred that method to using scope rings. I do use the BT and parallax when using the rifle for target use up to 600yards, but in the field tend to us hold-over and leve the parallax at 100m.
Once you get used to the BT and use Swarovski's ballistic app its great fun on the range!

Leupold VXR4-12X50, really good adjustable illumination and very good glass. The mill dot reticule is nice and fine for vermin.

 

[Reado]

The Z6i has a day and night illuminated reticle that can be adjusted up or down to brighten or soften the red dot with a touch of a button and is excellent for low light or lamping as you cant see the cross hairs against your target in some lights

i used a ziess 2.5-10x50 last night i shot a muntie at under 30 yards and a week before i shoot a fox at over 200yrds without touching the scope nothing to fiddle with just set it on 10x power and leave it and the ilumination is there if you want it which can be usefull as the cross hairs are fine and the dot which iluminates is small, i used to be a schmidt man but i really rate the scope as a good alround peice of kit and would definatly recomend one.
