Something new is coming from Swarovski...

[plainSight Solutions]

With the X5 and X5i long range rifle scopes just barely hitting the shelves, there have been rumours,
whispers, hints and implications that Swarovski wasn't done filling out it's rifle scope offerings.

With the recently released official teaser from Swarovski, those rumours have been solidified. However the
Austrians have been extremely tight-lipped (Shot Show was barely two weeks ago with nothing mentioned),
and the enigmatic teaser reveals very little.

Or does it?

So let's have a little fun:

Place your best guess, speculation, hypothesis, or wish as to what you think Swarovski will announce on March 4th, 2016.
If you are "correct", you will be eligible to purchase the new item from plainSight Solutions/Precision Optics at a substantial discount.

What is it? How much of a discount? We don't know!

But let's have some fun seeing what people come up with.

Quick disclaimers: the "correct" answer is the guess that is the closest to what Swarovski actually announces. Ties are possible.
Edited posts will be disqualified - no exceptions. Multiple entries are allowed. If for any reason, Swarovski doesn't like something
about the "contest", it will end without notice.

Most importantly: have fun sleuthing!

 

[PatchRat]

Awesome contest idea. My best guess is that even with the discount, it will still be way outside of my budget.

 

[monster hunter]

maybe a high end light weight hunting scope ?

 

[Suther]

Its gonna be called the infinity something something.

And its gonna cost more than my entire gun collection is worth - even on discount! lol

And its clearly going to be geared towards hunters...

 

[TDizzle]

Agreed. Infinity something or other haha. Something rather lightweight with locking ballistic turrets. And yes, probably quite expensive!

 

[TDizzle]

Second best guess, something to replace their Z6i line.

 

[r204]

A new FFP line up

 

[mightyhunter]

the newest range finding, ballistic calculator with Blue Tooth wireless capability riflescope.

 

[SKScanuck]

Product similar to Nightforce SHV line or Vortex HST line, 4-16x and 6-24x in FFP and avaialble in MIL or MOA with matching exposed turrets and reticles.

 

[Got Juice?]

Swarovski will be introducing their new ballistic programmable range compensating scope.

I am basing this on a Patent that they filed in 1999

[Toenoe]

Omer I hoping it's a Z8 rifle scope with extended long range capability!

 

[bearkilr]

Since you didn't specify when the cut off date for a "guess" is, I'm going to wait until we get a bit closer to the IWA show where it will be announced.

 

[stubblejumper]

Range finding scope with automatic trajectory compensation, with the addition of angle compensation. To reduce weight,a carbon fiber body.

 

[remyltr]

They are going to bring out a budget scope out
And give scorpion scopes and good run fir their money

 

[wheels]

A new travel mug that keeps your mocha latte's hot all day long while hunting.

 

[frigpig]

Since they have done it before in the past, my guess is an ultra wide magnification range hunting scope.

 

[Bartledan]

A new travel mug that keeps your mocha latte's hot all day long while hunting.

And costs $1300.


And flies off the shelves.

 

[Toenoe]

Hummmm! No one on the internet letting the cat out of the bag on this one.

 

[JayCarver]

A scope that uses bluetooth to "talk" to a LRF and/or ballistics computer and displays the dope/hold on a heads up display inside the scope.

 

[DMS1]

illumination capabilities in a z3 or similar lower end scope?
