That’s it for all those who would be better off with a little bit of knowledge on the often-heard reticles. Be it snow, sand or sunlight, many of the reticle dots will be visible. If the illumination is turned off, users will be left with mostly normal reticles. Thanks to the fully variable reticle illumination levels, these scopes can be used for poor light/ barely visible situations, with night vision equipments (like night vision goggles), and in broad daylight. Simple as it is, it can be easily given 3 out of 5.Īs far as low light performance is concerned, they’re suitable for low-light conditions to no-light operations as they’re all illuminated. This mil-dot based aiming point comes with see-through dots and 0.5 mil subtensions. A rating of 4.5 would be most appropriate. The reticle subtensions are marked by a gap of 0.2 mils and chevron mil markers have 0.1 mils subtension. Thanks to marker groupings across the reticle, users can enjoy rapid shooting without any hassle. The ‘Christmas-tree’ reticle allows shooters to gauge the target correctly. Being a little biased, I’d give this 4 on 5. MSR is uncluttered and versatile, and can be easily used for extreme long range and sensible close range shooting. It’s functions include shooting through the entire range of magnification, estimating TGT size and quick milling with illuminated center cross. The reticle can be broken down into - the main reticle, the fine milling scale and the rapid ranging scale. It designed by competitive long range shooters and military snipers, and brought into existence by FinnAccuracy. This is another reticle that has quite a number of takers in the form of snipers, long range shooters and military personnel. The illuminated reticle with a staircase pattern is engineered especially for low and no light operations. More and more users are giving a miss to more standard milling reticles and going for this immensely popular Horus 59 Reticle. It lets users hold for elevation as well as wind. Users can use this fine, gridded and ‘Christmas tree’ hold-off reticle for quick hold-offs instead of dialing for elevation adjustment. The Schmidt and Bender Horus reticle is considered as the classic one. Although Schmidt Bender 5-25x56 PMII is available with both illuminated as well as non-illuminated reticles, I’d concentrate on the more popular illuminated reticles. Now, it’s time for the popular reticles of the king of long range shooting.
To sum it up, covering any conceivable scenario with the S&B PMII series is highly possible. The S&B PM II is more than suitable for universal use, with the reticles allowing reliable distance evaluation in all magnifications. Add to that attributes like Double Turn elevation adjustment, high elevation and windage ranges for bullet drop compensation, parallax compensation, ample eye relief, wide field of view, metallic materials and aluminum main tubes, and first or second focal plane reticle position. The series boasts of unique features like big magnification and broad total adjustment range to help the user deliver precise shots. Designed after extensive coordination with special forces and police experts, the scopes are coveted for their ability to deliver accurate shots at short, medium, long and very long distances. Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 is primarily made for bringing down targets from distances of up to 2000 meters. A slight mention does not do justice and therefore, in this blog, I would like to focus on the S&B reticle choices that rewrite the rules in the field and help deal with critical situations.Īllow me to talk a little about the Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 scope first. As its name suggests, it is categorically built to meet the requirements of the military units and the police, and how! You may come across many write ups on the quintessential scope and its features but you would notice not many have explored the tremendous reticle choices that are available with the scopes. It is none other than the Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25x56 Riflescopes with its various configurations and reticles. If you’re wondering what’s the scope that police and the military forces complement their firearms with and have faith in, well then, the answer is known to many.
