Wondering if itβs possible too use the Sony 200-600mm g with a Nikon mirrorless camera?
There is a Sony E to Nikon Z adapter.
Native glass will usually outshine everything else though.

I would agree. An issue is that the flange focal distance is 18mm for Sony E and 16mm for Nikon Z, which means there is only 2mm to work with. The adapters that are on the market may not work for all models nor for all lenses, so you would need to make sure that your intended setup works and performs satisfactorily for you.
I would agree that native glass always is a better option.

Megadap makes an adapter, auto focus is slower but works.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1659938-REG/megadap_etz11_sony_e_lens_to.html/reviewsNative glass should focus faster. Nikon will be bringing out their own 200-600 lens later in the year.
I strongly suggest you wait for it, the wait should be worth it.
However, I use the Sony 200-600 on an a9 and get outstanding results, the sharpness is close to what I can get with my Sony 600 f4, yes, it is that good. But again, focus speed will suffer using the above adapter, please read the reviews from the above site.
Good luck with your decision and keep on shooting until the end.
Below is an example of the sharpness of the Sony 200-600, heavily cropped.
I would further suggest calling B&H to make sure the above adapter will work on you Z model.
Love my Sony 200-600mm lens, used it with my A9, A7RIV, A1 and A7SIII. As BillNikon said, anytime you adapt a lens there usually are some compromises.
The question I have for you is what is your main system, Nikon or Sony? Or do you shoot both.
Nikon and Sony lenses are different in the way they work and transfer focus info between camera body and lens. That is why Nikon to Sony adapters work, but not very well. Sony and Canon lenses are more similar in their electronic workings, that is why Canon to Sony works very well.
I have taken countless fine shots with the Sony 200-600mm since I first got it in August 2019. Here just one shot made with my A1 and Sony 200-600mm lens. A Snowy Egret takes off from its watery perch on the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. A1, 200-600mm lens, 319mm, ISO 1600, f6.3, 1/4000 sec . to freeze the BIF and freeze the water it splashed up.
Second shot, A Great White Egret bends it neck to clean its feathers ,also in Sint Maarten/St. Martin. The full frame and a tight crop from the same image. A1, 200-600mm lens, 591mm, ISO 1600, f6.3, 1/2000 sec. Bird Eye-AF used in all shots here.

Amazing shots, and also shows how long it takes to "get lucky"!
Is that picture a live action shot?

I think, but not sure, the Nikon Z lenses have a wider diameter than Sony, but an adapter would change the difference much the same as Nikkor F to Z lenses with the FTZ adapter.
