Title says it all:) - please let me know if you have one you'd let go. Thank you!
 
Yes unfortunately it is a 34mm tube - I believe all the Z8+ are 34mm. I'm looking for the 30mm version.
 
I believe that the new model of this scope is now only available in 34mm tube, I purchased one at the DCS show in Atlanta and fitted it to a Blaser R8, I might have been concerned about bolt clearance if it was going onto a regular bolt action rifle. At the show both the old 30mm and the new 34mm model was available. I was replacing an old model 1-4 x 24 Swarovski that was 30mm. In hindsight maybe I should have purchased the 30mm tube model as I also had to buy a new R8 one piece mount with 34mm rings for the new scope. There is not a lot of spare room between the tube and the cocker / safety on the R8 with this scope and regular 34mm rings. It's a good job my son does not have big thumbs!

I also shoot this model of scope in a 30mm tube, there seems to be more clearance on the R8 with this model.
 
This is one of the best DG scopes made...the 30mm. I love mine...free bump to the top.

The new release of the z8i will be 30mm an optic sponsor here has a thread on it I’m looking as well. Swaro released a new verision and I’m not talking about the plus. A new z8i 30mm it has a lever on the eye piece too. Just released I believe it was @EuroOptic that has a thread on it. Hope that helps

Swarovski will change the reticle for a very reasonable price.

Last time I checked they dad gone up in price substantially. I am thinking (which is dangerous) that it was something around 500-600 for the illuminated ones.

I'm actually a Canadian dealer. Swarovski renewed their entire range of 30mm Z8i scopes as of 1 July 2025. New "rear end" and the illumination area looks different, and as mentioned, a throw lever is now standard. I have already sold some of the new models. See attached screenshot of the new model SKU numbers.

Here are some close-ups of the new rear area, with and without the throw lever, and you can also see the redisigned illumination knobs....

Call my "brother from another mother" Doug Paymer at Cameraland in New York - he can get you any of the new Z8i's. I cannot sell new products to the US so I'm only providing information here. LOL

Doug is great. He used to be my go to on Swarovski and S&B. His inventory seems to have shifted over the years to lesser brands, correct?

Not that I’ve noticed. I’ve bought some pretty high dollar Swarovski optics from him over the past year.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
