Schmidt & Bender shows some of the features of the 5-45X56 PM II.
Optical Performance
The 5-45X56 PM II stands as a testament to optical excellence, delivering exceptional performance across its extensive magnification range. Its superior optical system provides crystal-clear target identification and observation capabilities beyond 6500 feet. The scope’s 9x zoom range ensures versatility from medium-range engagements to long-distance observation missions. Despite its powerful magnification, it maintains an impressive field of view, allowing shooters to maintain situational awareness while engaging targets.
Advanced Turret System
The scope features Schmidt & Bender’s latest turret technology. The elevation turret employs the DT27 MTC LT system, offering an ultra-flat profile ideal for use with piggyback-mounted optics while maintaining precise adjustment capability. The windage turret utilizes the ST ZC CT design, protecting against accidental adjustments during tactical operations.
Engineering Excellence
Crafted with premium materials and precise engineering, this scope maintains Schmidt & Bender’s reputation for exceptional quality. The unit achieves up to 90% light transmission, ensuring outstanding performance in low-light conditions. The first focal plane design maintains reticle proportions throughout the magnification range, while parallax adjustment from 30m to infinity ensures precise targeting at any distance.
LRR-MIL Reticle System
The LRR-MIL reticle was developed specifically for shooters requiring precise target distance calculation. Unlike basic crosshair designs, this sophisticated reticle serves as a comprehensive ballistic tool that significantly impacts shot placement. It provides shooters with a complete mil-based system for accurate ranging and holdover in field conditions.
Quality Assurance
Each scope undergoes rigorous testing to meet Schmidt & Bender’s exacting standards, continuing their tradition of excellence since 1957. The 5-45X56 PM II represents the perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
