Swarovski Z5i+ 3.5-18x50 Rifle Scope - Illuminated BRS-I Reticle

The Swarovski Z5i+ 3.5-18x50 with BRS-I reticle is a hunting scope with an illuminated reticle that combines holdover-capable ballistic subtensions with 18x magnification and a 50mm objective. The BRS-I is purpose-built for hold-over compensation, giving shooters ballistic reference points without turret adjustments.

This is a second focal plane rifle scope with an illuminated reticle, a 30mm main tube, a 50mm objective, and side-focus parallax adjustment. The BRS-I provides graduated holdover references that remain visible in low light when the illumination is active.

Swarovski's optical system delivers 91% light transmission, and the 50mm objective provides enhanced light-gathering for improved visibility at dawn and dusk. A 30.3-foot field of view at 3.5x keeps close shots fast, while 18x brings distant targets into sharp focus. The 9.5-2.8mm exit pupil maintains a bright image across the full zoom range, and 95mm of eye relief provides a forgiving eye box.

The 30mm tube provides increased adjustment range and requires 30mm rings or a compatible mount. The side parallax dial adjusts from 55 yards to infinity. At 14.4 inches, the scope mounts compactly on bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.

At 19.7 ounces, the Z5i+ adds modest weight over the non-illuminated Z5+ while gaining a lit ballistic reticle that extends capability into low-light conditions.

This scope performs well across diverse environments from dense forests to open plains, adapting to situations where holdover speed and illumination provide a practical advantage at varying distances.

Manufactured in Austria by Swarovski Optik, the Z5i+ ships with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner.
