Rifle Scopes Schmidt Bender 12-50x56 PM II/P Second Focal Riflescope, Sport Fine .125MOA Reticle, Black, 34mm

Is anyone using this scope on a rimfire for long range? Found a killer deal but still a lot of money but looking for comments good or bad on this scope? I just checked the deal, it ends in 3 hours from now. Maybe someone will see this and reply. I want to put it on this.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Post sounds confusing, I am asking about the S&B in the subject line.

 

[longshot2000]

I wish I could be of help. I am not familiar with a 12-50x scope. I have used pretty much every S&B scope up to 25x, and never a complaint. I am sure this reply does not help much, but wanted to let you know your post made it online.

I will say that I had not been a fan of magnification >25 until I got behind the NF 7-35x, and it is amazing. While it is tough to comment and compare to the S&B you are looking at, the 7-35x Nightforce has seen a lot of action and a lot of reviews, and it is quite solid, and brings parallax down to 10m. You might want to give that one some consideration. We sell NF and S&B, and NF is outselling the S&B in the ELR. I hate replies that end in commercials, but if we can help, let me know.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Thanks longshot2000 for the reply. I will have to take a look at the NF 7-35 and see if I can get one under 3 grand. The S&B I was referring to was on sale for $2300. I am trying to keep the cost below $3,000. I never had a S&B and thought this might have been a good opportunity.

I have a 12-50 but it is a FFP scope.

No complaints at all.

 

[RTH1800]

Had one, loved it. Sorry I sold it. Would like to have another.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Thanks for the replies. No negative comments is good.

 

[gr8fuldoug]

$2300.00 is a steal of a deal. Worth jumping on

 

[RTH1800]

BTW, for rimfire I really preferred the SPF. It keeps the reticule small and I don't use my reticule to range with rf or shoot much in low light anyway.

 

[Thud]

Like R stated I had one like a dummy got rid of it.
Shouldn't of. Buy it and don't look back.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

The deal has expired now. Am I allowed to mention the seller?

Ok, hook me up Scotty, err Doug. I got on your site and didn't see the Sport Fine reticle but that's what I want. I am sure there are a lot of people who come in here wanting to buy something, looking for information and everyone tries to help out only to find out the guy is wasting everyone's time. Well, I am not that guy. Doug, I want the 878-911-855-A5-A5 12-50X56/SPORT FINE 1/4 1/8 CCW 2ND FOCAL MT/DT for the advertised price of $2,599.00 shipped. Let me know what I need to do next. Thanks to all those who helped.

 

[gr8fuldoug]

Give me a call, 516-217-1000. I'm in another hour today

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Well guys, just got off the phone with Doug. Scope is on its way. Doug is a really nice person not only to deal with but talk to. Camera Land will be on my "short list" for optics from now on. Thanks again Doug for the excellent price and presenting the offer. Looking forward to matching up a German optic to a German rifle. Kinda like this Kahles to my Steyr Zephyr II.

 

[gr8fuldoug]

My pleasure. Nice "meeting" you. Looking forward to a photo of the new scope set up as well as your opinion.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Doug, scope come yesterday, super fast shipping. Nice to see it come with Butler Creek scope covers and a nice little lens cleaning kit. It was packaged so well I believe it could have fell from an airplane on concrete and would have no damage and that's a serious statement.

So far I have only looked through it in the house but am really impressed with: 1. the ability to actually focus down to 10 meters while on 50 power is totally awesome, I'm talking crystal clear and so much detail. 2. the eyebox is fantastic, the eye relief is short but that's a non-issue with my 1710 XLR. What I am talking about is the ability to move your head just slightly in all directions while on 50 power and still keep a clean view without any edge blackness. This is exactly what I paid for and expected from this scope. I should have photos up this evening, can't wait to get this new set up in the backyard range. Thanks again for the price you gave me.

 

[gr8fuldoug]

My pleasure. Many years of enjoyment coming your way

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Here are a couple of photos of the new set up.

 

[Thud]

Nice.

 

[steve123]

I'd like one of these, with the 34mm tube, in FFP, with the H59!!!

This doesn't exist, does it?

My idea of the perfect FT air rifle or NRL22 scope

You are going to use that scope for rimfire?

Wowzers. Seems like massive overkill to me, FWIW.

Yeah, I can see some people thinking that. I thought long and hard, read reviews and it finally come down to...in one word...versatility. I can do anything I want with this scope, now and in the future. Just for an example, last night I looked at the moon and could see in very good detail, the moon craters. Honestly I thought I might dable in Benchrest shooting and this scope would work fantastic for that even though IT IS overkill.

Steve,
I don't believe it is offered with that reticle.

Thanks, Thud.

If you're planning to use this scope on heavy recoil rig, be advice eye relief is just around 3"

Right now the only "high power" rifle I have is a LaRue 20" 5.56 upper matted to a Seekins billet lower.

This new Smit-n-Blender is fantastic. 50x is so easy to use, the eye box is so forgiving. Today I was shooting NW in the evening and the sun was in my eyes. On 50x there was a haze but it was easily remedied by letting the haze fill the entire scope, because there was no getting rid of it. The small center dot "as expected" will get lost when it gets around 7:45 this time of year. I do wish it had a lighted center dot. The 1/8" adjustment works a lot better for this type of precision shooting than a mrad adjustment. Here is a shot of the set up and a target shot entirely with CCI Std V. The groups look big but the circle is 1/4". Top 3 on the left target was scope adjustment this target was shot with my Keystone PT 722.

Congrats on the scope. I got the same one from Doug a month or so ago too but in FFP. I love it on my 22lr as well. I just realized the other day, I haven’t taken a pic with it on there, so I am going to need to get some pics.
The only issue I had was setting the zero, which I’ve heard is really easy on the S&B. I have the same turrets as you with the numbered turrets. I need to go back and try again with more time, but I couldn’t find online videos or anything for that multi turret design (only the colored ones or the ones with the lift). If I remember correctly, I tried to set the zero, but I couldn’t get it to stop where I wanted and the turret would change before it ever made it a turn. On the windage, I set it and I couldn’t turn one direction (zero stop). I remember having to make some adjustments, so I could shoot, but I haven’t had any time this month to spend on resetting it.
I know it is something really simple that I’m doing wrong and my frustration that day got the best of me, but I couldn’t figure it out as easily as my last couple on the first try. Of course, I didn’t notice the tip out part In the manual until I was good and mad. (Explained why I could never find the diagrams it was referencing.) Hopefully, I’ll have better luck next time or maybe someone can shoot me a link to some good instructions or a video for my actual turrets.
Sorry to digress, but you are right. Very nice scope and I can leave it on 50x most all the time while in my shaded shooting area in the woods. It is really addicting to have the mag go up that high.

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Skok3y,

I haven't messed with the zero setting so far. After getting mine sighted in at 50 meters I am already in the 4th revolution. I have a DIP 25MOA scope base coming. If I don't correct this I will be losing a lot of elevation adjustments. For now I know less than you about setting the zero for the turrets. Get those photos up.
