Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender hunting scopes

[Graywolf.260]

Anybody running one of these Polars or Precision hunter scopes for intermediate range <800 yd hunting/shooting? I like the specs on the 2.5-10x50 illuminated Polar scopes. Trying to figure out options for turrets, but the S&B website isn't clear if their available with either target turrets or capped turrets.

The new PMII Ultra brights are the best S&B hunting scopes. Take a look at the 3-12x54.

The PH lacks adjustment range.

I have a Zenith and Stratos, both great hunting scopes with illumination. The stratos has both adjustable external elevation and windage knobs. The zenith are capped. You can pay more for the polar, if you really need the most light transmission. The stratos is more than bright enough for me. I looked at all of the scopes for months before I purchased, the Precision hunter is basically a classic with a turret, not really special (long, heavy and limited elevation as mentioned above)

Anyway, go to the SB website and download both the catalog and pricelist. You can then decipher all of the codes to determine what you want in a reticle, turrets, clockwise ccw, illumination, moa, cm etc.

I have the polar 4-16x56 with the illuminated ffp p4f reticle, the turrets are capped and I don't remember an option for anything else while ordering.

thanks for the feedback, I ended up with a Hensoldt 3-12x56 FF, pretty light and compact, and a good deal from Eurooptic.

Question; say I have a Klassik 3-12x42 - can I send it in to S&B to have an elevation turret installed similar to the 3-12 precision hunter? For this rifle, if I can get to 600 yards with solid repeatable tracking when I twist the turret, that’s all I need...

Anyone ever get an answer to this?

Finnaccuracy has both BDC and posicon (normal capped) turrets available. Windage always capped. 38mrad total internal adjustment and 9.6 mrad on BDC turret.

We can perform the Precision Hunter conversion at the US service center for a cost of $380. The options are twelve MOA or 3.2 mil on the single turn knob. I would also recommend having the fixed parallax reset to 200 meters if you intend to shoot beyond 300.
This will help image clarity and parallax elimination immensely at extended ranges on a preset parallax system.
