Howdy all,

I was looking at a couple of 3-12x50 illuminated Swarovski scopes. Both are discontinued now so I can't get any information on the Swaro website.

#1 was a 3-12x50 PH Illuminated Plex-N 30mm, Swaro item # 57087

#2 was a 3-12x50 PVI-2 4-Illuminated High Grid 30mm, Swaro item # 57389

Near as I can tell there isn't much difference between the features of the two other than the High Grid. So what exactly is this and why is it a $400 premium?

Thanks,

The difference is that the reticle of the PH is first plane and PVI-2 is second plane...

But You should know, that Swarovski is releasing the new Z4i edition in September, which is the follow-up edition for the PVI-2 modells with the reticle in the 2nd plane...

have a look here:

I've heard these will not come to the U.S. They are a 4X zoom in illuminated only, designed for the European market which is basically all illuminated.


Have a great day,

What a pitty - You will miss the best: illuminated reticle and SR-rail...

I won´t go with both options anymore...
