The 5‑25×56 PM II from Schmidt and Bender stands at the pinnacle of variable‑magnification tactical optics, engineered for long‑range precision, outstanding clarity and professional‑level reliability. With a wide 5–25× zoom range and a substantial 56 mm objective lens, it delivers exceptional light‑gathering capability, enabling crisp, bright imagery even at extended distances.
Built upon a rugged 34 mm main tube, the scope accommodates large internal adjustment ranges and is designed for demanding use. It features a reticle in the first focal plane (FFP) so that scale and hold‑offs remain accurate at any magnification. The field of view spans approximately 5.3–1.5 m at 100 m, while the exit pupil ranges around 11.0–2.3 mm, and the eye relief remains generous at around 90 mm. The parallax adjustment typically extends from 10 m to infinity, enabling accurate focus from very close ranges through to extreme distances.
The turret system is engineered for precision: click values as fine as 0.1 mrad (≈1 cm at 100 m) are available, and a double‑turn elevation turret combined with single‑turn windage allows vast usable correction ranges for wind and elevation. Optical transmission exceeds 90 %, and the construction is nitrogen‑filled, fog‑ and waterproof, ensuring full reliability in all climatic conditions.
