Swarovski Optik unveils new dS, Z6i, and Z5i+ riflescopes

SWAROVSKI OPTIK has been setting new standards in the market for premium hunting optics for over 75 years. Guided by the principle “created for hunters by hunters,” the family-owned company based in Tyrol combines expert knowledge and experience with a deep understanding of real-world needs. Three renowned lines of its rifle scopes have now been upgraded and expanded with all-new models to provide reliable equipment for hunting in a wide range of conditions. By introducing the new dS 4–24×50 P, the next generation of Z6i riflescopes, and two new Z5i+ MRAD models, SWAROVSKI OPTIK ensures precision, versatility, and reliability for every type of hunt. The new riflescope models will be available at specialist retailers from January 27, 2026. Product availability may vary by region, allowing hunters around the world to choose the model that best fits their style of hunting.

The dS 4–24×50 P model is not a conventional riflescope—it is an entire system contained within a single optoelectronic device. With the press of a single button, the integrated ballistic calculator computes all necessary corrections and displays a fully corrected aiming point directly in the sight picture. To generate it, the system takes into account the distance to the target, the shooting angle, atmospheric conditions, and the ballistic profile of the ammunition being used.

“Whether you’re stalking red deer in Scotland or hunting elk in the Rocky Mountains, the dS will deliver a single, clean shot.“

dS riflescopes are designed to combine the high-quality optical system known from Swarovski Optik products, offering a sharp image and wide field of view, with modern digital solutions. Importantly, via the Swarovski Optik Hunting App, users can upload personalized ballistic profiles for their ammunition and track the shots they take.

The Z6i is a new line of riflescopes comprising models with various magnification ranges. The guiding idea behind the Z6i line is high versatility, strong performance across diverse hunting conditions, the ability to place accurate shots from awkward positions, and highly intuitive operation.

What is meant to make the Z6i line so versatile? Above all, a high-quality optical system and an appropriately designed exit pupil, which is intended to offer greater tolerance for eye position behind the eyepiece. The image in Z6i riflescopes is said to stand out for exceptionally high contrast and sharp detail, even in dynamic situations where adopting an ideal shooting stance is not always possible. Flexibility across different hunting scenarios is further supported by a redesigned “cockpit” with controls responsible for operating the illuminated reticle.

The Z6i line includes the following models:

• Z6i 1–6×24, designed for dynamic shots at short and medium distances during fast-paced driven hunts;

• Z6i 1.7–10×42, a versatile, multi-purpose model designed, among other uses, for mountain hunting and stalking;

• Z6i 2.5–15×50 P (BT) – a riflescope distinguished by its high magnification range and a dedicated ballistic turret, enabling quick distance compensation;

• Z6i 4–24×56 P BT – the most powerful riflescope in the new lineup, featuring a large objective lens and a ballistic turret, designed for hunting in the most demanding conditions.

The Z5i+ MRAD line consists of riflescopes designed for highly demanding long-range hunting, where mechanical durability, high-quality image clarity, and precision are critical. The vertical adjustment mechanism is now scaled in MRAD, allowing for maximum correction precision in challenging conditions.

Lightweight yet uncompromising in terms of image sharpness, these riflescopes are ideally suited for mountain hunting and difficult terrain, where every gram counts.

The lineup includes two models:

• Z5i+ MRAD 3.5–18×50 P BT L MRAD
• Z5i+ MRAD 5–25×56 P BT L MRAD
