Schmidt & Bender
Scopes of the PM Line
Scopes of the Schmidt & Bender PM line have been developed
in close cooperation with special forces and police experts. Due
to their proverbial reliability they are in the top ranks all over
the world. They are successfully being used in many countries
of the world for many years. In environments from desert sand
to tropical humidity to arctic cold the models of the PM and
PMII Iines prove their operability under most extreme conditions.

distances or on a .50 BMG for aquiring tactical targets at extre-
mely far distances, Schmidt & Bender‘s PM line offers a suitable
scope for every purpose.
To ensure long term functionality and reliability under all
environmental conditions almost all mechanical parts are
machined of metallic materials. The scope‘s main tubes are
made of one single piece of high grade aluminum. They have
a very strong, scratch resistent hard-anodized surface.
For increased safety of the shooter all PM scopes provide an
eye relief distance of 90 millimeters (equals 3.5 inches). This
is of high advantage especially in stress situations and for quick
target acquisition.
The ocular housings are equipped with a rubber ring that protects
the eye and increases the non-skid property of the ocular. The
outside diameter of this ring allows adapting accessories such
as protectice covers and polarization filters.
A change of the magnification setting is accomplished by rotating
a handy ring next to the ocular, which can comfortably be used
with gloves as well.
The scopes feature high elevation and windage ranges for bullet
drop compensation.
To provide high elevation and windage ranges the models of
the PMII line feature a main tube diameter of 34 millimeters.
The PM line scopes 1.1-4 x 20 Short-Dot, 1-8 x 24 Short-Dot and
1.5-6 x 20 have a main tube diameter of 30 millimeters.
Each of the scope‘s operating elements works precisely and
serves only one single function. This prevents faulty operation
and unintended adjustments.
With the parallax adjustment mechanism developed by Schmidt
& Bender the shooter can quickly and safely focus the scope to
distances from 10 meters to infinity. Since the parallax adjustment
mechanism is located on a third turret opposite to the windage
adjustment the shooter can easily stay on the target while
focussing. The ability for exact adjustment helps preventing
changes in point of impact as well as tiring of the shooter‘s
eyes which could be caused by parallax or unfocussed images.
The design of the illumination control for illuminated reticles
shows once more the Schmidt & Bender engineer‘s direct relation
to practice and the effort to give the user real handling advantages.

The 1-8x24 PM Short-Dot model represents the consistent further
development of the tried and true 1.1-4x20 PM Short-Dot scope.
The range of applications has been expanded enormously due
to the extreme magnification range. The fine illuminated reticle
in the first focal plane permits a precise operation up to a distance
of 800 meter. Due to the red dot in the second focal plane the
scope can also be used as a red dot scope at rather short distances
- the red dot will not be enlarged with the image. The new "CC
mode" development permits a parallax-free use of the scope as
a red dot scope at the shortest distances with a magnification
of 1.0. Deactivated the red dot will vanish completely, leaving
behind a plain illuminated reticle. The illumination has been
designed in a way that either the red dot or the illuminated
reticle will be activated. In addition to that the user has various
night and day modes available, so the scope may also be used
with night vision equipment. The main tube has a diameter of
30 mm, enabling the user to switch from a 1.1-4x20 PM Short-Dot
toa1-8x24PMShort-Dotwithoutanyproblems.Alockingsystem

against accidental shifting.

Due to an ever increasing range of applications we developed
the 3-20x50 PMII scope, providing the user with the highest
possible rate of flexibility. The 3-20 times magnification range
makes this scope ready for the use with a multitude of weapons
and calibers. On top of that, a total adjustment range of 260 cm
permits the user to employ the scope on great distances. Elevation
and windage turrets have been equipped with locking functions
and a dual turn system featuring a tactile second level. This
system prevents the user from performing involuntary adjustments
on the elevation and windage turrets. The tactile dual turn function
as well as the ten tactile stops (MTC) are designed to reduce and
prevent any improper operations under stress and pressure.
On request the reticle can be built into the first or second image
plane. Moreover, the scope features a parallax compensation
function ranging from 25 m to infinity. Reticle illumination ranges
from night vision goggles via dusk to broad daylight.
