FAQ
What makes the Schmidt Bender PM II 5-25x56mm suitable for low-light shooting? The 56mm objective lens captures more light, allowing for bright image quality in dim conditions. Combined with an illuminated reticle, this scope enhances visibility for accurate targeting at dawn or dusk.
How do the adjustments work for windage and elevation? The scope features counter-clockwise turrets with fine .1 MRAD adjustments, allowing for precise modifications necessary for long-range shooting. This level of precision is critical for compensating bullet drop and wind drift in varying conditions.
How does the first focal plane reticle benefit shooters? With the reticle on the first focal plane, it maintains consistent size relative to the target at all magnification levels. This ensures that range estimations using the reticle remain accurate, making it easier to make quick adjustments.
Is the scope durable enough for extreme conditions? Yes, the aluminum construction and matte black finish provide excellent weather resistance and durability against heavy recoil, ensuring that the scope performs reliably in harsh environments.
How does this scope compare to alternatives like Nightforce ATACR? While both offer high-quality optics, the Schmidt Bender PM II focuses on precise adjustments and rugged durability. It’s an excellent choice for those who prioritize performance in tactical and competitive shooting.

Optics Knowledge Center
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

- Store in a dry place with silica gel packets
- Avoid extreme temperature changes
- Use a quality scope cover in harsh conditions
Regular Maintenance
- Check and tighten mount screws periodically
- Inspect O-rings and seals for damage
- Verify zero after rough handling
- Clean the exterior with a damp cloth
What to Avoid
- Never use fingers to touch lenses
- Avoid paper products (tissues, paper towels) on lenses
