I had the opportunity to handle one last fall and it has absolutely no tunneling effect whatsoever down to 3x. Also, very noticeable on lower power settings was a much wider FOV than other PMIIs. Overall, it is much lighter and more compact compared to optics of this quality and magnification range.

Just added the Klein Reticle as option to our <span style="color: #000099">3-20x50 PMII FFP</span> pre-order page.

Also, in you case you missed it, we covered the features of the new <span style="color: #000099">3-20x50 PMII FFP</span> in one our SHOT Show 2011 Videos. See video at 2:45:

Zak look at the H2CMR reticle. Might be worth a try. I ordered my 3-20x with it and have a 5-25x with it on the way soon.

We posted details on S & B's new reticles in another thread, but I'll add the info here as well...

Jerry R chimed in on this in the other thread...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Jerry R</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Line thickness on the H2CMR is .035 mrad, or 3.5mm at 100m. It is the same size as the P4F. </div></div>

I've added the new reticles as drop-down options for the 3-20's and 5-25's..

Last we talked to S & B there wasn't a solid ETA. Sounds like the 3-20's and 1-8's could be out around late June/early July. Could also be sooner or later though. When we get a solid ETA, we'll let you guys know. For now, you can pre-order them if you want and get your spot in line.

Any day here we'll have 5-25's in-stock with P3 (mil-dot).

Thanks,

Mason @ CST

Better to have it done right and come out perfect then rush something that isn't ready to the market. People can complain about the wait time but they would be complaining more if they paid $3000 for a scope and it had problems because they rushed it to market.

I want one as much as anyone but I have no problem waiting. Patience will be rewarded.

Jan/Feb is the last I heard but I am in a "they will be here when they get here" state of mind. Not something I need at the moment but it's on order so when it gets here I will be happy. After seeing it two years in a row at SHOT and playing with it I am looking forward to it as it's a nice package.

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

while i like their scopes ... could they please explain why:

a) their new catalog service sent me 2 months ago does not mention that scope at all?

b) they don't have msr reticles available (at least in the catalog) for europe/german speaking area?
 
#74
Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

S&B would do well to learn from this product release debacle. Having to constantly reset the release dates and buyer expectations is not a smart move. I've only had my 3-20 backordered for a few months but some have been waiting years.

I'm sure it's going to be a great scope.

Maybe S & B's $34MM U.S. Military contract for scopes (other than the 3-20x50) - awarded in June - has had something to do with the delay with the 3-20x50?

http://www.schmidtbender.com/PSRannouncement.htm

Maybe CST - as an S & B dealer - who has been taking pre-orders and deposits, can try to get some answers from S & B for us Hiders. Any info would be appreciated by many here, I would think...

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

I just spoke with Mike about the 3-20 today... He said Jan for a time frame.

Sure it will be worth the wait... But if there is something that can go wrong with a scope I'm sure I'll get the one with the problem.

I would assume it is not out yet mainly due to the fact the scope is not out yet and they are a little slow on updating thinks. As for the MSR ret it should be available in your region but I’m not sure.

S&B first goal will and is to feel the US Contract order then they will ship to the rest of us. As for the delay I'm not use why other than they what to make sure they getting this scope right so they do not have issue like they did with the 2-12x50mm MTC turrets.

We taking pre-orders but we are not taking deposits due to the ETA’s keep changing.

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

Mike or anyone else in the know:

Does S&B have any plans of putting out a MOA reticle? I'd love to try one of these, but Mil reticle is a deal breaker for me. Anybody know anything?

Thanks,
Erik

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

Erud they do offer a P4F MOA reticle in the 5-25x but not sure if it's going to be offered in the 3-20x.

Interesting, I didn't realize that the P4F was MOA based. I will have to check that out. Thanks for the info, Rob.

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

The original P4F is a mil reticle but S&B made a MOA reticle off of the design. There was a thread on it last year I believe.

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

I heard they are starting to trickle in as of last week.

Yes they have. Just heard about 25 of them and about 150 should be coming in the end of May.

Re: Just Added: S & B 3-20x50 PMII with all the Specs

I have one on order and hope I'll get one of the ~175 that Rob mentioned. Just curious, do they come as ordered from Germany, or does S&B USA change reticles and turrets as needed to fill orders?

I could have swore that on S&B's North American (now seems its not working) website under the pdf of the P4LF MOA reticle it mentioned that it would be in the 3-12, 3-20, & 5-25....


I hope they will offer it in the 3-20

Bump for a great guy to deal with. Bugged the crap out of mike for the past year waiting for my 3-20 and he was patient and answered every single email. Great customer service! New scope should be in hand on Monday!
