Doug H. Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Go here: http://z6.swarovskioptik.com/en/ . They made an excellent scope better! I can't afford a new one and will have to stick with my Gen 1 Z6i 1-6x24 BRT. Doug Edited February 17, 2012 by Doug H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might be mad that I just bought a ZD Kdot but it doesn't appear they changed the Z6i "much". I was already a really good scope and the changes seem to be for the better. It also cost more than twice as much as your ZD. Many people don't think its worth twice as much but that's a decision the buyer has to make. I'm happy with mine.

boomfab Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hopefully you can turn off the inclination sensor in the Gen2. It'd be annoying for the illumination to be turning on and off during a stage when you are shooting under a car or sideways through a port.

Doug I do agree that the Z6i is an awesome scope and better than the Meopta. I just feel that at my level and the shorter courses we shoot in Ohio it isn't worth it. But I'm definitely not ruling one out down the road. They did improve it from the old design but it wasn't as significant as I thought it might have been.

actionshooter Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Looking forward to trying one out, I get to order one this Tuesday! woohoo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Maybe I missed something but I don't find it has a "leave on" setting which would indicate it will shut off if turned to the side far enough. Also, I don't see the BRT reticle listed in the tech specs but it is on the main site. It's probably just me and the clumsy navigation of the site. I am probably wrong about it but if that is the case, I can't see it being an improved version, at least for 3 Gun use. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9X23Guy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The website now lists the Gen 2 BRT. I talked to a Swaro rep yesterday when I ordered mine. You can manually turn the tilt sensor off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. I sure couldn't see them moving away from what worked but the website threw me. I could see the tilt feature handy in some situations but overall, I wouldn't pay extra for it. But that's just me. Still a great scope. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Who has them at a good price? And if anyone has a first generation with BRT they want to sell send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pay more and more for just smaller and smaler steps up the ladder in performance. Is the Z6I three times the Scope the Meopta is. No. I would say the Meopta is about 85% of what the Swarovski is for less than half the price. But for those that want the best only the best will do.
