Maybe once the prices return somewhere close to reality!

I agree. I took the 3-36x56 out for a spin and it's great. All the things I pretty much hated about the 3-27x56 are not an issue with the new scope.To be truthful ....optically the 3-27 is the worst scope i own ( and have owned) ..Sharpness and resolution in the centre are OK, but towards the outer peripheral its terribly soft..
The 6-36 is in a completely different league !!! Sharpness and resolution are superb from centre to outer peripheral !!! As i have stated its the best optic i have so far owned!!
Guilty. Haven’t had a chance to take it out, but still like my Theta turrets more than DT II+. Too used to Thetas and Razors, this thing is light.Schmidt just dropped prices across the board, in case anyone took a peep at Eurooptic.
grabbed one?Guilty. Haven’t had a chance to take it out, but still like my Theta turrets more than DT II+. Too used to Thetas and Razors, this thing is light.
More so than the price drop a couple weeks ago? Schmidt did this very thing about 5-6 years ago, they slowly priced themselves out of the market and then did US price drops, they were starting to do the same again but even more so, so this is welcome relief and makes the Schmidt’s more palatable again, especially the 6-36Schmidt just dropped prices across the board, in case anyone took a peep at Eurooptic.
Yeah. With the 10% discount from hide dealers and no tax in some cases.More so than the price drop a couple weeks ago?

Oh. Musta been late on this then lol. 4480 minus the 10% is fairly reasonable tbh. Puts it in ZCO NLE 10 mil territory.I think the 6x36 prices are the same as that first drop
Indeed. Bulbous fucking erector, @GBMaryland wasn’t joking. Check your mounts for saddle clearance.grabbed one?
So this thing is really that good huh? Fucking hell.
I think im just gonna eeny meeny minie mo between a ZCO527 and 6-36 PMII at this point.
The little selector lever placement combined with the shortish front tube of the 6-36 is non-ideal for mounting LRF bridges or similar top-cap mounted accessories and the MTC is sometimes a little easy to spin through, but overall good turrets.DT II+ turrets are the new hotness,
Have you gotten a confirmed order for this one?Patiently waiting for a RAL8000 DT II+ P5L for my second one…
Have you gotten a confirmed order for this one?
I ordered a 6-36 with DTII+ in Ral8000 a few weeks ago, just took a few days and I was told they did not offer this scope in other color than black.
That is correct, they offer it in Ral8000 with the low profile DT turrets, but did not with the DTII+, atleast they could not sell me one at this point. I suspect the same goes for the MT turret.There are real ones on euro right now with 35dt and 27dt turrets...ew
I'm sure Jerry would be happy to put on some black DT II+ turrets onto your Ral8000 body for $$$That is correct, they offer it in Ral8000 with the low profile DT turrets, but did not with the DTII+, atleast they could not sell me one at this point. I suspect the same goes for the MT turret.
What do you guys think about the DT27 & DT35 turrets? Not just the clicks, but how they operate (and why do they offer both turrets on the same scope?).
I have a 5-25 with the DTII+ turrets, but I’m not a turret snob. Currently, as a varmint hunter, I hold for elevation and wind but might start dialing for elevation.
The GR2ID is very usable in practice. The Tree fades into the background.Carbonbased,
don't forget they also have the 0.005mrad turret, which I believe they call MT II... this thing has something like 39.5mrad of elevation, spaced out in 0.005mrad instead of 0.01mrad. Not sure who needs 0.005mrad clicks, but maybe at the ranges associated with 39.5mrad, 0.005 is a 'big f'ing deal'...
How about user opinions of the GR2ID reticle? The P5FL isn't doing it for me, as I like tree reticles. GR2ID however appears to have lots of extra dots, especially above zero. As usual, S&B reticles don't do it for me.

I opted for the black, did not want to wait. Scope arrived today!I'm sure Jerry would be happy to put on some black DT II+ turrets onto your Ral8000 body for $$$
are you referring to the windage? Because thats a feature and not an actual issue. I had sent my scope back for the same reason but you're supposed to look at the windage from behind the optic where the hash marks line up perfectly. Its an S&B quirk that Jerry told me about.I opted for the black, did not want to wait. Scope arrived today!
My first look at the DTII+ turrets, first thing I noticed is that the hash marks does not quite line up on the scope body/turret. This annoys me a bit..
Went with the Gri2d reticle, have not had time to look closely at it yet. I wish they would offer this scope with the LRR-mil reticle, I really like it. Even though the P5FL are somewhat similar.

Thats interesting, I was not aware. In my case it is the elevation turrett. Cannot believe they have done something similar there(?), I guess most people look straight at the elevation turrett from behind when dialing.are you referring to the windage?

Is that the case? Even if loosening the two set screws to zero, the turrett still «clicks». Therefore I have been thinking that the turrett itself, and alignment cannot be changed this way.Adjust the knob when you zero out the turrets. You can make it align perfectly if wanted.
nah there's some tensioning that you can wiggle around when you loosen the screws to zero. Everything lines up afterwards.Is that the case?

I have not yet loosened the set screws, will give it a try tomorrow
Yeah, I didn’t include that just because there’s a bit too much happening on that turretdon't forget they also have the 0.05mrad turret, which I believe they call MT II... this thing has something like 39.5mrad of elevation, spaced out in 0.05mrad instead of 0.1mrad.

Anyone happen to compare the feel of the 6-36 DT27 (14 clicks/rev) vs the 6-36 DTII+ (16 clicks/rev)?On the 6-36:
Seems like unless I need 35 mrad total travel, a DT27 (with its greater distance between clicks) would have better click-feel than the DT35?
- DT27 = 14 clicks/rev with 27 mrad total
- DTII+ = 16 clicks/rev with 30.5 mrad total
- DT35 = 18 clicks/rev with 35 mrad total
Of course the DTII+ is the preferred. Even though it has more clicks/rev than the DT27, what I’m hearing here is that due to its internals that the clicks are better. Correct me if I’m wrong.

For example, I wasn’t quite sure want version of the DTII+ @Huskydriver had used as it comes in two flavors:
- 16 clicks/rev for the 6-36, 5-45, & 3-27
- 14 clicks/rev for the same turret on 5-25
Nitpicky, I know.
Cool, thanks for the info! Seriously. Frank should give you an AI and S&B info award or something.I have used all the above I will never own a dt27 or 35 period hard stop lol
Nitpicky, I know.
Because Schmidt and bender insists on pricing themselves at a premium to sell the brand.I think at 4-4.5K, the price is approaching perfect. The 5-25 prices still make no sense to me tbh. Why is that scope more expensive still?
Same here. The DT27 is the “better” low profile turret, the DT35 is abysmal, clicks are way too close, easy to miss and over travel, MTC too hard so you go over/under by .2-.3 almost every time. DT II+ is like Schmidt hired the engineer from tangent theta, it’s completely different experience from DT27/35 in every way. The lock/unlock is brilliant and MTC is about perfect. I had the equivalent of the MTII .05 turret on my 5-45 and hated it, it has like 17 revolutions to it and not needed unless you’re f class/Bench rest shooter.I have used all the above including both versions of the dtii+ and mtii and I will never own a dt27 or 35 period hard stop lol.
We don't know because no one has their hands on a TT735P yet to compare. With the ZCO527 multiple people here have said it edges it out overall or matches it, and sorta crushes the ZCO840.I hear this is THE scope to beat now, optically. is that true?
@BuLLet has. They recalled them for parallax issues right out the gate though lolWe don't know because no one has their hands on a TT735P yet to compare. With the ZCO527 multiple people here have said it edges it out overall or matches it, and sorta crushes the ZCO840.
Patiently waiting on @Glassaholic or Ilya to do their thing soon enough.
