1 PRECISION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE Scopes of the Police Marksman Line

3 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 PM II Iines prove their operability under most extreme conditions. Mounted on an precision or sharpshooter rifle for short to middle distances or on a.50 BMG for aquiring tactical targets at extremely 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 PM II line feature a main tube diameter of 34 millimeters. The PM line scopes x 20 Short-Dot, 1-8 x 24 Short-Dot and 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. 3

The ﬁne illuminated reticle in the first focal plane permits a precise operation up to a distance of 800 meter.

5 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 to a 1-8x24 PM Short-Dot without any problems. A locking system secures the adjusting caps of the elevation and windage turrets against accidental shifting. 5

6 Due to an ever increasing range of applications we developed the 3-20x50 PM II scope, providing the user with the highest possible rate of ﬂexibility.

On top of that, a total adjustment range of 260 cm permits the user to employ the scope on great distances.

6 6 Due to an ever increasing range of applications we developed the 3-20x50 PM II 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.
