The 3x magnification allows the user to engage reasonably close targets with a good field of view while the 20x magnification coupled with 260 cm of elevation adjustment allow for long range engagements without worry of running out of MILs. This is a scope designed with maximum versatility in mind. While varying in the operative requirements they can satisfy, all Schmidt & Bender scopes possess these qualities, which can be also presumed by their average price (but we know, quality has a cost). If building a good optical system devoid of crass optical aberrations is today within the reach of most manufacturers, less so is creating an optical system with high light transmission through complex lens groups, implying top notch lens coating treatments.Įven less so is assembling such an optical system within a mechanical structure that provides solid protection and, above all, a dependable adjustment mechanism capable of guaranteeing repeatable, consistent setups over a long operative life. A coaxial ring on the body of the telescope controls magnification, by turning it 180 degrees it switches from 3 to 12x.The Schmidt & Bender PM II rifle scopes line is intended for police and military use and features a wide choice of scopes that can satisfy the most varied operative requisites, among which we chose three main models meant to give you a taste of what Schmidt & Bender offers also to the most demanding sport shooters.Īll Schmidt & Bender rifle scopes are characterized by excellence of their optics, with outstanding clarity, definition and optical quality. The parallax adjustment and the illuminated reticle are controlled by two separate turrets, and the lighting of the reticle can be set to 11 increasing intensities, in addition to the off position. Each time the reticle is moved, it moves perfectly the of the number of clicks set (it may be trivial but there are not many telescopes, including top brand, that have reticles “that do not take all the clicks”, especially when going turning back in the adjustment). The clicks are perfectly audible and above all are constant the precision and lack of backlash are highly commendable.

The elevation turret covers the 250 adjustment clicks with two turns of the knob but, thanks to the yellow flag appearing in the control windows once the turret has been turned a full 360”, solves the problem found with many professional scopes used to engage targets at variable ranges, in which the operator (especially under stress) can lose track whether the turret is actually on the first or second turn of the knob. Mounting the scope on the weapon is quick and easy, thanks to the special bolts with prismatic triangular bolthead that need a dedicated wrench featuring a “controlled torque” system (essentially, the replaceable grip is actually a simple rod made of soft aluminum that bends once the bolt reaches the right torque!) Moreover, the PM II is perfectly factory centered so that interventions on the turret is minimized when zeroing the scope on the weapon. The sample we received included a normally optional super tough Picatinny mount with 34 mm monolithic rings. The black T handle bar, made of soft aluminum, bends once the correct foot/pounds torque is reached The special tool used to mount at the right torque the S&B PM II mount.
