My first Schmidt Bender - and the village bicycle of riflescopes in my house. This scope has been many rifles, as I outgrow each rifle, this PMII is still right there to be the top-shelf optic I put on the next setup. Five stars, this scope is what every scope in this class wants to be. Buy once, cry once - then enjoy the best scope for the rest of your shooting career.

This is my third PM II for a good reason, the glass is second to none other that I have seen and the repeatability of the turrets is spot on every time - if you dial 13.7 mils, that’s exactly what you get every single time. The price may seem a bit high, until you consider what you are getting for the money. I can easily discern the difference between a white wing dove and a mourning dove on the ground at 1,000 yards if the heat mirage is not too bad. The only thing that I ran into that I was not 100% happy about was the dimension of the belly underneath the turrets. It hung down too low to use the Kinetic Development quick release mount I purchased to use on this rifle. It had a see-saw effect and would not work. I contacted Kinetic to see if they made taller rings - no. I went with a Larue mount instead, like I have on all my other significant rifles and it has been a winning combination, so I will not try to reinvent what is working so well. If you are considering this scope and you have the means, I highly recommend it. The turrets may not be the latest greatest tactical cool ones available, but they work just fine for me. I have the MTC locking turrets on my other 2 PM II’s and I think these are fine as are the others. They are repeatable and that’s all that is really important.

My first Schmidt Bender. I have many high end name brand scopes each have great features but this is definitely the clearest and brightest of all. the illumination for the reticle was not as bright as expected but haven't tried a different battery yet. I concur with other reviewers

Great scope, solid build, good glass, positive clicks. Then came the grease blobs on the reticle (by the way your spell checker can't spell reticle). Called S&B and they sent a UPS label right away and said this problem was caused by a change in grease and the problem has been corrected. No charge to service the problem and they did not ask me for prof of purchase.

Excellent scope. Had a Bushnell DMRII which was awesome but this glass is worth the extra $$$. Great customer service here at Euro optic. Thanks.

Purchased a TRG-42 .338 lap used several years ago with a Spuhr mount. Asked the gentleman what scope was on it. He said Schmidt Bender PM-ll when asked why he would not sell the scope with the gun. He said he would never sell it. & has it on several guns. He also said there was one problem with Schmidt scopes. That is once u own a Schmidt scope u will want another. He was right!! My opinion there is the PMll & there’s everything else enough said!

Schmidt & Bender, what else need be said :) The Tracking is right on! The clarity is top in the business and the reticle is no distraction, down to business style!

Today's plethora of "scope of the day" models come and go and pretty much everyone has a model with great glass and high light transmission. That's not what makes a scope expensive nor functional in a tactical optic. Repeat-ability is the word. It's the exceptional machining that goes inside a Schmidt that makes it expensive and makes it a true tactical class optic. If your budget scope with great optics won't pass a tall-target test then what's it good for? There are other scopes that match the schmidt but not for half the money. As another fella put it, buy once - cry once.
