Schmidt u. Bender GmbH & Co. KG Optische Geräte

The new riflescope for all who value maximum precision and accuracy. Whether Bench Rest, F-Class, Long Range or Extreme Long Range, the new 10-60x56 is especially developed for competition shooting.

The 10-60x56 is the latest development of our 6x zoom optics designs and impresses with powerful features: The large field of view, together with the generous exit pupil, allows comfortable target acquisition and sets a new benchmark. The 56 mm objective lens diameter with a light transmission of over 90 % provides a clear, bright and high contrast image even at extreme magnification. The “LPI” enables the use of 11 step illumination and the 20 m to infinity parallax adjustment with one simple handgrip. The riflescope is equipped with a new mrad-based M1FL competition reticle in first focal plane.

With a main tube diameter of 34 mm, the 10-60x56 achieves an elevation adjustment range of over 23 mrad. Click values of 0.1 mrad are possible with the Double Turn II+ elevation turret and 0.05 mrad with the Multi Turn II.

Thanks to the use of high-performance aluminum and the special design, this product also ensures the usual Schmidt & Bender stability and allows the riflescope to be used from –40 °C to +61 °C. Despite the solid construction and its superior optical quality, the weight of the 10-60x56 is less than 1000 g.

MOA shooters take note: Soon, the 10-60x56 will be offered with a second focal plane MOA-based reticle and corresponding turret configurations with click values of ¼ or ⅛ MOA. So stay tuned.

LPI (Leucht-Parallaxe Integriert = Illumination Parallax integrated)

The new 10-60x56 features the new “LPI” function – “LPI” means „Illumination Parallax Integrated“. This new and very easily operable illumination control is integrated into the parallax adjustment and allows a better mounting solution. It also enables a better left handed use.

Although being very compact the illumination and the parallax adjustment show the familiar features: on the outer side the smaller and easy to operate illumination knob has 11 functional steps with “off” positions between each step. This allows more contrast on dark targets.

The bigger knob which is next to the tube operates the very precise side focus/parallax adjustment. It begins at close distances at 20 m and goes up to infinity.

Both knobs are clearly distinguished by size and rippling while the engravings of each turret can be read or adjusted while in shooting position – also with gloves.

This is a most technically advanced riflescope, since the 1-8x24 PM II ShortDot Dual CC com-bines – in an 8x zoom ratio system – a distinct illuminated red dot in Second Focal Plane with a First Focal Plane tactical reticle. This being said, it can be used as a red dot sight for quick engagement of close targets while the MilDot base reticle can be used for accurate ranging and compensation for hold-offs and hold-under/over. The generous eye box/exit pupil sup-ports fast acquisition on any magnification. These combined features create the most ad-vanced multipurpose Close Combat and mid-range riflescope design.

This compact, powerful and versatile hunting riflescope combines all relevant features and makes it a true all-rounder. The slim and short aircraft grade aluminum 30 mm tube saves weight and yet is rugged for combining it with night vision devices. Due to the patented optical design it combines a superb image quality with a great field-of-view along with extremely high light transmission. A newly designed BDC II-B represents a sophisticated elevation turret which can be calibrated to the ballistic of your rifle in an easy and flexible way. The 3-18x42 is made by hunters for hunters who seek a most advanced riflescope for utmost hunting success.

LP7 SFP reticle advantages

Although a SFP reticle, the design of the LP7 reticle enables range estimation:

The “true magnification” of the 3-18x42 is marked by a visual and tactile pin on the magnification ring at 9x power. You can estimate distances on 9x as well as on 18x zoom as follows.

A roe buck stands at about 100 m if he fits between reticle center and horizontal bar (≙ 70 cm). He stands at about 50 m if he fits between the horizontal bars (≙ 140 cm).

A roe buck stands at about 200 m if he fits between reticle center and horizontal bar (≙ 70 cm). He stands at about 100 m if he fits between the horizontal bars (≙ 140 cm).

42 mm Objective

The lean and slim 42 mm objective makes the 3-18x42 a very handy riflescope. The quick LP7 reticle with illuminated red dot in second focal plane, the generous eye-box and the big field-of-view of 14.5 m/100 m rsp. 43.5 ft/100 yd* provides excellent situational awareness especially when focusing on fast moving game or when stalking. An outstanding light transmission of 92 % guarantees a crystal clear image for great detail recognition which is crucial for identifying game. When darkness falls, the short and rugged design is a perfect fit for rear or front mounted night vision attachments.

LPI (Illumination Parallax Integrated)

The new 3-18x42 hunting riflescope features our innovative “LPI” which stands for the German words “Leucht-Parallaxe-Integriert” and means „Illumination Parallax Integrated“. This new and very easily operable illumination control is integrated into the parallax adjustment and allows a better mounting solution. It also enables a better left handed use. The very compact illumination/parallax adjustment retains the familiar features: on the outer side the smaller and easy to operate illumination knob has 11 functional steps with “off” positions between each step. The bigger knob which is next to the tube operates the very precise side focus/parallax adjustment. It starts at 20 m/22 yd for close distances and goes up to infinity – which is most benefical when using night vision devices. Both knobs are clearly distinguished by size and feel while the engravings of each turret can be read or adjusted while in shooting position – also with gloves.

BDC II-B (Bullet Drop Compensation II-Ballistic)

The BDC II-B allows the operator to easly set-up his own calibrated turret according to the ballistic of the rifle. The BDC II-B turret provides 6 position indicators marked 1–6 which correlate to 100 m/yrds–600 m/yrds. The position indicator can be placed at any position on the turret according to the ballistic coefficient. When using a silencer or interchangeable barrels, the position indicators are easy to adjust to the given environment conditions. Best of all: in the latter case it is also possible to use an interchangeable turret cap which matches the modified ballistic of the rifle. A Mode Lever locks or unlocks the turret. The BDC II-B turret – just like ST II-B (see page 11) – gives the hunter the fastest and most precise turret dialing solution.

6-36x56 PM II High Performance – NEW

The new S&B 6-36x56 PM II High Performance offers the best solution for medium to extreme long-range shooting. Like all of our PM II riflescopes, we designed and manufactured this 6x zoom riflescope according to MIL-STD-810G for handling the harshest environments. Outstanding image quality with a wide field-of-view (FOV) provides superior detail recognition. Reduced weight and size makes it very compact while the new LPI illumination also enables left handed use. The efficient 6-36x magnification range is combined with a 39.5 MRAD elevation turret which supports more precise shot placements.

LPI (Illumination Parallax Integrated)

The 6-36x56 PM II High Performance now features our new “LPI” which stands for the German words “Leucht-Parallaxe-Integriert” and means „Illumination Parallax Integrated“. This new and very easily operable illumination control is integrated into the parallax adjustment and allows a better mounting solution. It also enables a better left handed use. Although being very compact the illumination and the parallax adjustment show the familiar features: on the outer side the smaller and easy to operate illumination knob has 11 functional steps with “off” positions between each step. The bigger knob which is next to the tube operates the very precise side focus/parallax adjustment. It begins at 25 m/27 yd for close distances and goes up to infinity. Both knobs are clearly distinguished by size and rippling while the engravings of each turret can be read or adjusted while in shooting position – also with gloves.

P5FL Reticle

The new P5FL basically resembles the popular pattern of our well-known P4FL reticle which was initially designed for military snipers and has been well-proven around the globe. Reflecting the ongoing technical evolution the new P5FL represents a slight upgrade without forcing the operator to get used to a completely new reticle design. It is also perfect for competition shooters and modern hunters alike who prefer a clean reticle design which is reduced to the most important essentials without distracting features. Those who are already enjoying the P4FL reticle will find confidence in the new P5FL reticle.

THE LATEST GENERATION OF MATCH RETICLES

The M1FL is the latest development for shooting sports based on our well-known LRR-MIL reticle. Our goal was to design a fine mrad reticle in first focal plane, optimized for highest precision disciplines as well as for extreme long range shooting.

Like the LRR-MIL, the M1FL has an interrupted center cross that can be illuminated. It features a fine, free-floating center dot with a coverage of just 0.32 cm at 100 m for precise shot placement and is surrounded by an interrupted center cross with 0.1 mrad gaps and dashes.

Up to the 5 mrad mark, the reticle is graduated in 0.1 mrad ­subtensions and can be used for holding and measuring over the entire range. For faster orientation, even graduation marks are made downward or to the right and uneven ones correspondingly upward or to the left. From the center, the markings are more clearly highlighted from the 2 mrad mark onwards so that they can be easily noticed even at lower magnifications.

On the horizontal axis, the markings before the 5 mrad mark make it easier to measure oval or round targets. On the vertical axis, the bars are divided into 0.5 mrad subtensions after the 5 mrad mark. On both axes, all 2 mrad marks are additionally numbered up to the 10 mrad mark.

The upper area of the M1FL reticle shows no markings in order to support target and impact identification. The vertical bar extends to the 10 mrad mark and also has a free-floating dot at each of the 5 and 10 mrad marks to allow zeroing above the vertical bar as it is especially common in Extreme Long Range shooting. On the horizontal axis, solid bold conical-shaped bars guide the eye toward the center especially at low magnifications.

What does M1FL stand for? "M1" (=Match 1) stands for the latest generation of competition/shooting sports reticles. As in the past, "F" (=Fine) stands for the fine line pattern and "L" (=Light/Illuminated) for the illumination of the reticle.
