Swarovski Z8 I, 34mm tube

I think 1” scopes are slightly more aesthetically pleasing on DGRs than 30 mm, but given limitations, especially for illuminated reticles, most of mine are 30 mm. I don’t believe I have actually seen 34 mm mounted yet (on a DGR). I have not checked lately, and perhaps the market is catching up with 34 mm, but at least in the not too distant past you could not buy Talley quick detach rings in 34 mm and Recknagel/EAW only made them for picatinny bases/rails. Perhaps the same for Alaska Arms. Then again, it is also quite possible that I am behind the times. :-).

I wanted a 30mm, but Swarovski now only makes the Z8 I in 34mm

There are still some 30 mm around. Look at mounting options for 34mm for your rifle(s). Look at the S&B Exos 1-8 as well.
 
Thanks, you are right, but I can buy the 34mm for $2800 versus $3300 for the 30mm, I don't feel good about spending $3300 for a scope, I have a set of Talley lightweight mounts for my rifle.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
