<span style="font-weight: bold">S&B 1–8 x 24 PM SHORT DOT</span>
We've been asked to see what we can find out about this new scope from S&B. Well here's what we found out. We're looking at an August delivery time frame.
Unique optical sighting technology to cover any potential environment. The 1-8 x 24’s reticle is located in the first focal plane, meaning it remains in the same proportion to the target across the full magnification range. A Schmidt & Bender FlashDot is located in the second focal plane, providing a precise illuminated red dot that remains constant in size. The FlashDot has eleven different intensity settings, from off to extremely bright. At the brightest settings, it is highly visible in glaring sun and against snow and sand. The lowest settings are designed for use with night vision goggles. When the FlashDot is turned off, the reticle functions
normally. This results in an unprecedented combination of sighting options that will cover any application or environment the shooter could encounter; a standard reticle for use in normal lighting and precise shot placement at longer ranges, and the remarkable speed of the FlashDot, providing instant target acquisition in close-in and high-stress situations.
Perhaps the most versatile riflescope we’ve ever produced, the 1-8 x 24 combines the speed of our FlashDot illuminated red dot with the precision of a traditional reticle.
The 1-8 x 24 PM Short Dot was developed as a Close Quarter Combat Sniper Scope, and it excels in that application as a parallax free, true one-power CQB scope. At the other extreme, a full 8x magnification range allows precision targeting to 800m. The result is a riflescope appropriate for virtually any
application; exceptionally fast and utterly precise. These characteristics also make the 1-8 ideal for three-gun matches which allow the use of only one optic. Locking illumination and
elevation turrets are standard. Bullet drop compensators are
included for 5.56 and 7.62mm cartridges, including the 62 gr.
Green Tip, 75 gr. TAP, and the SR25 with M118LR and M118LR20 loads.
