Seeing a row full of Schmidt & Bender PM II scopes lined up with typical German military precision almost brought a tear to my eye. Be still my beating heart. Sigh. Well, its been a busy year for S&B: nine new scope offerings are being shown at SHOT this year. Included in this release are two new long range “compact” scopes from the PM II series of scopes: the 3-20 x 50 PM II Ultra Short and the 5-20 x 50 PM II Ultra Short. The smaller of the two, the 5-20, is just under 30cm long (11.7 inches) and weighs only 870 grams (30 ounces) . . .
The 3-20 x 50 PM II Ultra Short is a bit longer and heavier, but is truly an engineering marvel with just under 7x of power range:
Other new scopes include 3 Gun scopes including an updated versions of the 1- 8 x 24, and slightly more affordable 1.1-8 x 24’s and 1.5 x 8 x 26.
A 3-37 x 56 PM II high Power digital scope which provides digital readouts for aimpoint correction and communication capability with ballistic computers, is also available.
Pricing is . . .oh, hell, does it really matter? Take your best guess and multiply by 2x.
That row of scopes is worth more than my house.
Not meaning to be a prick, but the correct nomenclature is: a hyphen between the numbers of the magnification range and an “x” between the magnification and the objective size.
Examples:
— 10×40
— 3-9×40
— 3-37×56
I saw 1x8x24 and immediately wondered if I was reading TTAG or The Truth About Carpentry.
Funny. 🙂
One of those would be an excellent compliment for my 7.62 x 51 x 20 rifle. Grande!
Look at all those cool scopes Id have to take second mortgage to afford.
Can one get custom BDC reticles for these?
And are they FFP?
There’s nothing better than a good Schmidt.
Except a really good Bender.
Except the really good bender is followed by the bad Schmidts the next day.
Thank you Ralph.
I couldn’t resist, and you once again satisfied my Tourette’s
Schmidts and giggles…
And almost no-one makes a decent fixed power scope. I’ve been looking for a decent quality fixed 4×32 or 4×40 for a 8mm Mauser. Bigger magnification or variable over 4x will result in being in a different class for the competition.
Check out Zrak optics, I believe P-A- Distributing sells those in the US.
Decent-good glass and BDC reticle which I believe is calibrated for 8mm Mauser.

They also sell the mounts.
Hope this doesn’t count as advertising, just trying to help someone out.
The site has been great as I can put samples of my
work within my ads, therefore showing that I run a legitimate and quality
business. Unique ad content – This is the most important step.
The bottom line is that marketers will now pay for real,
measurable results.
