Description
The Schmidt Bender PM II 5-25x56mm Riflescope is a state-of-the-art optic designed for precision and reliability. With its wide magnification range, this riflescope is perfect for long-range shooting, whether for competition, military, or law enforcement applications. The LP TREMOR3 reticle, situated on the first focal plane, ensures accurate holdovers and windage corrections, making it an ideal choice for shooters who demand precision.
The new ocular design is not just about aesthetics; it provides functional improvements as well. The machined aluminum magnification ring, with its deep grooves, and the ribbed diopter adjustment enhance the user experience, especially under adverse conditions. Moreover, the riflescope is compatible with Schmidt Bender’s polarization filter and tactical Tenebraex lens covers, adding to its versatility.
Featuring the Ultra Flat Double Turn Elevation Turret (DT27), the riflescope offers a low profile with 27 MRAD of adjustment. The Double Turn turret is renowned for its yellow-colored revolution indicator, MTC clicks, locking function, and clearly legible digits, all contributing to an intuitive adjustment system. The RAL8000 finish not only gives the scope a robust look but also adds to its durability, ensuring that it stands up to the rigors of field use.

Understanding Rifle Scope Basics
Magnification
Magnification refers to how much larger an object appears through the scope compared to the naked eye. Fixed power scopes have one magnification setting, while variable power scopes offer a range (e.g., 3-9x).
Objective Lens
The objective lens is the front lens that gathers light. Larger objective lenses (measured in mm) gather more light, providing brighter images in low-light conditions but add weight and require higher mounting.
Reticle
The reticle (crosshair) is the aiming point inside the scope. Modern scopes offer various reticle designs, from simple duplex crosshairs to complex ballistic reticles with holdover points for different distances.
Adjustments
Rifle scopes have turrets for windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustments. These are measured in MOA (minutes of angle) or MRAD (milliradians) and allow precise aiming adjustments.
Proper Scope Mounting Guide
Select the Right Rings & Base
Choose rings that match your scope's tube diameter (typically 1", 30mm, or 34mm). Select a base compatible with your rifle's receiver. For heavy-recoiling rifles, opt for stronger mounts.
Install the Base
Clean the receiver and base thoroughly. Apply a small amount of blue Loctite to the screws. Attach the base to the receiver and torque the screws to manufacturer specifications.
Attach the Rings
Attach the bottom halves of the rings to the base. Place the scope in the rings and loosely attach the top halves. Don't fully tighten yet.
Set Eye Relief & Level
Position the scope for proper eye relief (3-4 inches) in your normal shooting position. Ensure the reticle is level using a scope leveling tool. Once positioned correctly, tighten the rings evenly in a cross-pattern.
Scope Zeroing Tips
Start Close
Begin zeroing at a shorter distance (25-50 yards) to ensure you're on paper before moving to your desired zero distance (typically 100 yards).
Use a Stable Rest
Always zero your rifle from a stable shooting position using a bench rest, sandbags, or a shooting rest to eliminate as much human error as possible.
Fire Groups
Fire 3-shot groups before making adjustments. This provides a more accurate representation of where your rifle is shooting than single shots.
Make Deliberate Adjustments
Know your scope's adjustment values (typically 1/4 MOA per click). If your group is 2 inches low at 100 yards, you'll need to adjust up 8 clicks (for a 1/4 MOA scope).
Confirm Your Zero
After making adjustments, fire another group to confirm your zero. Repeat the process until your point of impact matches your point of aim.
Document Your Settings
Once zeroed, record your settings including distance, ammunition used, and environmental conditions for future reference.
Optics Maintenance & Care
Cleaning Lenses
- Start by blowing or brushing away loose particles
- Use a lens pen or microfiber cloth for fingerprints
