Overview
The Z5i+ 5-25x56 is a 30mm-tube riflescope with an illuminated BT BRW-I reticle and bullet drop compensation, built for long range hunting in low light. Model 70211.
Swarovski markets this as a step up from the standard Z5i line, with a wider 30mm tube that opens up adjustment range without adding weight, plus a redesigned ballistic turret with a zero stop. The 56mm objective is sized for dawn and dusk hunts rather than midday shooting.
- 5-25x56 magnification and objective
- 30mm main tube for extended adjustment
- Illuminated BT BRW-I reticle with bullet drop compensation
- Rated -4 to +131F operating, submersion tight to 13ft/4m
Who it's for
Hunters working wide open country or mountain terrain who need magnification up to 25x and enough objective lens to see clearly as light fades. Not aimed at target shooters on a tight budget or anyone who wants a compact, lightweight setup.

Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High magnification for long range work
- Large 56mm objective for low light
- 30mm tube extends adjustment range
- Illuminated reticle with bullet drop compensation
- Only one buyer review to draw on
- Full weight and turret specs not confirmed in the listing data
Performance notes
The 56mm objective lens pulls in more light as the sun drops, which is where this scope is meant to earn its keep. The 30mm tube gives the ballistic turret more room to travel, so the stated bullet drop compensation range holds up at longer distances rather than running out partway through a shot. Illumination on the BT BRW-I reticle keeps the aiming point visible against dark backgrounds.
