Swarovski Z8i

slemmo · Mar 4, 2016

Everyone was expecting this to be released for IWA, the specs are better than the Zeiss V8, and if it's as good on 1x as the Z6i I just need to know who to sell my soul to to get one.

Holy crap! I'm email them now!

Get me a price. Available sept 2016

Looks like the initial pricing over here is just a bit more expensive than the Z6i, but below Zeiss V8.

You'd probably be getting a good deal if you only had to sell one soul...

Do you think this would be better than the Primary Arms 1-4 that I'm using now?

That last 90% of performance costs an extra $2200.

Hehe, if you suck it doesn't really matter how bad your optics are.

I guess you've seen Matt shoot, huh? Lol!!!

slemmo · Mar 4, 2016

No, actually not.....I'll have to do some google and youtube searching now. I was just assuming that if you shoot Primary Arms 1-4 you're not really in the business of winning.....more like participating.

Hey I've taken first a couple times out at okcgc. Not consistently, but it happens when the stars align.
I think it was January's match I took 2nd. Still weakhand loading the shotgun.

You're right. Primary Arms and weak hand loading is screaming intervention.

What about irons and weak hand? Is that grounds for euthanasia?

I'm about to the point now where I just do it because, well, I'm a cheap bastard and it hasn't let me down yet.

That 2-16 would make a great DMR/SPR scope.

I've seen a lot of people with crazy expensive equipment and while they may look like they know what they are doing still get beat by those folks with the lesser equipment but have some skill... skill is something you can't buy!

slemmo · Mar 4, 2016

Yep, but at a certain point you get to a level where equipment start to matter. It's fairly simple, if you're doing car racing you're not going to beat someone with 100 hp more and better handling if you're at the same skill level.
