The necessary forward angle is depending on the used type of elevation adjustment. Thus, depending on caliber and scope design, you may shoot the weapon at greater distances. Using this setting the entire adjustment range may be used in one direction. the scope should be mounted on the firearm using the proper forward angle (illus. Therefore the gunsmith is forced to adjust the default value during scope mounting, i.e. To be able to use the complete elevation adjustment on the PMII scopes it is absolutely necessary to realize a default adjustment on the reticle outside the optical and mechanical center position (illus. To get a consistent adjusting range in every direction and to simplify the mounting procedure, the reticle on the scopes is usually set to the optical and mechanical center position (see illus. Nevertheless, elevation and windage ranges are limited like in any other scope. To obtain an even greater adjustment range on these scopes, Schmidt&Bender increased the diameter of the center tube on a number of precision scopes for long distances from 30 to 34 mm. In this case the elevation adjustment is used to compensate for bullet drop. Scopes for high precision shooting are often used for shooting at great distances. For safety reasons we recommend that the lower part of the rings should be glued. The mount should be rugged and of good quality. All other PMII scopes will require 34 mm rings.
To mount the 10 x42 PMII, the 1-8 x24 PM ShortDot, the 1.1-4 x20 PM ShortDot, the 1.1-4 x24 PM ShortDot LE and the 1.5-6 x20 PM ShortDot scope you need rings with a 30 mm diameter. Perfect mounting is an essential requirement for maximum accuracy and an efficient functioning of the firearm and the scope.īe sure to assume the proper firing position and keep a correct eye relief in order to avoid any injuries due to the recoil of the weapon. Therefore we recommend to get this done by a qualified specialist.
The firearm and the scope must be united by proper mounting. Rotate the eyepiece clockwise until you see a sharp image of the reticle (see illus. Rotate the eyepiece counterclockwise to its stop. Set the scope to the highest magnification. Adjusting the image focus with the diopter adjustment of the eyepiece Protect the scope against shocks beyond normal use.Īvoid unnecessarily long exposure of the scope to direct sunlight intense and excessive sun radiation will cause extremely high temperatures inside the tube which may be detrimental to the scope.
Any repairs going further than the maintenance described in the maintenance manual should only be done by Schmidt&Bender or by other specialists authorized by Schmidt&Bender. To avoid injuries always keep the correct eye relief distance when shooting. Strict observation of the following operating instructions is prerequisite for successful long-term use. Their quality and function make it possible to achieve exceptional shooting results as well as to fulfill the critical and demanding needs of official, law enforcement and tactical applications.
The scopes of the Schmidt&Bender PMII series are designed to meet the unique challenges of high precision shooting.
