Swarovski Optik has announced updates across three of its core riflescope families, introducing the new dS 4-24x50 P, an updated Z6i lineup, and additional Z5i+ MRAD models. The expansion reflects continued development across digital, general-purpose, and long-range hunting optics. “With these new products, we are reaffirming what SWAROVSKI OPTIK stands for: premium craftsmanship and precision made in Austria. For more than 75 years, we have been deeply rooted in the hunting community and kept our ears to the ground, listening to what hunters most want and need. This close connection enables us to deliver high-end optics tailored to individual requirements – combining tradition, innovation, and uncompromising quality,” says Johannes Oberdanner, CEO of SWAROVSKI OPTIK.dS 4-24x50 P: Digital Ballistics Integration The new dS 4-24x50 P integrates a ballistic calculator directly into the scope. With the press of a button, the system calculates and displays a corrected aiming point based on distance, angle, environmental data, and user-defined ballistic profiles. I have friends who use the predecessor, and I’ve tried it myself with great success, but I wish it could be delivered with different reticles. Do you see value in integrated ballistic calculators like the dS?The optic connects to the Swarovski Optik Hunting App, allowing users to configure profiles, track shots, and update the system over time. The updated optical system is designed to provide a wider field of view and improved detail recognition compared to earlier versions. MSRP starts at €4,990 in Europe.Z6i: Updated All-Rounder Platform One of my benchmark LPVOs, the Z6i series, continues as Swarovski’s premium all-around hunting scope line, now updated with refinements to handling and optical performance. The range includes configurations from 1-6x24 to 4-24x56, covering driven hunts through longer-range applications. The design emphasizes a forgiving eyebox and consistent image clarity across varying shooting positions. Pricing begins at €1,950 depending on configuration.Z5i+ MRAD: Focus on Long-Range PrecisionSwarovski has also expanded the Z5i+ lineup with MRAD-based adjustment models, including 3.5-18x50 and 5-25x56 variants. These scopes are aimed at hunters operating in mountainous or extended-range environments, where weight and dialing precision are key factors. The Z5i+ series combines a lightweight design with turret-based adjustments suited for distance shooting. MSRP ranges from €2,290 to €2,390.
