The new Z5+ with a 30mm main tube, offers several improvements.
Swarovski kept the 3.5-18 power but gave it a 50mm objective. This lets in more light and looks much better mounted on a picatinny rail. They also kept the light weight. The Z5 Plus 3.5-18X50 weighs just 19 ounces in the non-illuminated version and 21 ounces illuminated.
New features from the Z5+:
- 3 Times more range of adjustment in the Ballistic Turret. The new Z5+ Ballistic Turret provides a whopping 40 MOA of adjustment in just 2 rotations. The old Z5 had just 13.5 MOA. So, instead of running out of clicks around 600 yards, the Z5 Plus turret will take most cartridges out to 1400 or so. We are not advocating taking anything close to 1400 yard shots on game, but the 40 MOA range means you can use the same scope for hunting and for shooting long range steel plates!
- You now have three options for how you set up the ballistic turret.
- 4 distance rings that are much easier to see
- MOA ring
- Custom ring in yardage based on ammo and environmental data
- The Zero stop design is much improved.
- The Z5 Plus lockable turret to make sure it does not get moved accidentally.
- Better Glass! The Z5+ has Swarovski’s High Definition Glass.
- Available Reticles: Plex, 4W, BRW, and BRS.
If you don’t want a ballistic turret, all of these scopes are available without the BT in either a Plex or BRS hold over reticle.
When you consider the glass quality, scope weight, turret features, and price, we think Swarovski has absolutely nailed it with the Z5 Plus!
