Cranston, Rhode Island – SWAROVSKI OPTIK announces the Z5, which is a 1-inch rifle scope with 5x zoom, an innovative combination. Due to its high magnification and its large field of view, it is particularly versatile and is suitable for various types of hunting. The Z5 offers exceptional optical performance in a slim rifle scope.

The new 1-inch scope with 5x zoom from SWAROVSKI OPTIK delivers performance that has only rarely been achieved previously by any other rifle scope of the 30 mm class. The slim, compact Z5 rifle scopes are designed for harsh everyday hunting and they are reliable companions in many
hunting situations. The scopes will be available in the 3.5-18x44 and 5-25x52. It will also be available in a wide range of standard reticles, long range reticles and the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Ballistic Turret. They will begin to ship in mid-summer 2009.

“We are very excited to bring this new and very innovative product to the market. We saw the success of our Z6 and realized that growing need for long range shooting products. The new Z5 will take the standards of the one inch riflescope to a new level,” commented Albert Wannenmacher,
CEO of SWAROVSKI OPTIK North America.
