1. Scope description

1 Introduction

The Schmidt & Bender PM II series scopes are designed to meet the unique challenges of high precision shooting. Their quality and function make it possible to achieve exceptional shooting results as well as to fulfill the critical and demanding needs of official, law enforcement and tactical applications. Strict observation of the following operating instructions is prerequisite for successful long-term use.

1.2 Safety instructions

Never look into the sun or into laser light with the scope. This may cause serious eye injuries. Do not tamper with the scope. Any repairs beyond the maintenance described in the maintenance manual should only be performed by Schmidt & Bender or by other specialists authorized by Schmidt & Bender. Protect the scope against shocks beyond normal use.

Avoid unnecessary long exposure of the scope to direct sunlight; intense and excessive sun radiation will cause extremely high temperatures inside the tube which may be detrimental to the scope.

The scope must be properly mounted to the firearm by a qualified specialist. Perfect mounting is an essential requirement for maximum accuracy and efficient functioning of the firearm and the scope. Be sure to assume the proper firing position and keep a correct eye relief in order to obtain an optimal full field of view and to avoid any injuries due to the recoil of the weapon.

4.1 Adjusting the image focus with the diopter adjustment of the eyepiece

The eyepiece provides the adjustment of the reticle focus to the individual eye diopter. Set the scope to the highest magnification. Rotate the eyepiece counterclockwise until it stops. Rotate the eyepiece clockwise until you see a sharp image of the reticle (see Illustr. 3).

4.2 Using the magnification change and the CC-Mode

By turning the magnification change ring, the magnification can be changed from 1 to 8. To do so, turn the magnification change until the engraved magnification value is inline with the engraved index dot. The 1x magnification is available in the CC-Mode. To switch into the CC-Mode, turn the magnification change ring until the letters „CC“ are inline with the engraved index dot (Illustr. 4). In the „CC“-Setting, the scope is parallax free on approximately 7m to 20m distance. To leave the „CC“-Mode, turn the magnification change ring counter-clockwise until you feel a slight „click“.

This indicates that you are now on 1.1x magnification. The area on the magnification change ring inbetween „CC“ and „1.1“ is not suitable for shooting, since it is opticaly uncorrected.

4.3 Illumination control

The illuminated reticle is designed to help identifying the correct aiming point on a dark target and/or in poor light conditions.

First, set the intensity of the illuminated reticle to the respective light conditions. To do this the illumination control may be turned from -0- toward position -11- until a setting is achieved where the illuminated portion of the reticle is just bright enough to be picked up by the eye without glaring. If possible, this adjustment should be performed under quiet conditions prior to the actual shooting. (see Illustr. 5)

If the illumination is not switched off by the shooter after use, illumination control electronics automatically switch off the illumination after 2 hours.

If the illumination starts blinking, the battery is low and should be replaced.

4.4 Changing the battery

To replace the battery screw off the battery cap and remove the old battery.
Please discard the used battery in an ecologically compatible way!

Place the new battery (coin cell CR 2032/3V) with the „+” facing up into the battery compartment. Do only change the battery in a dry environment. Battery service life is at least 100 hours at the highest intensity (see llustr. 6).

5. Point of impact correction

5.1 Using the elevation turret and the windage turret

The elevation turret includes a locking function which prevents the inadvertent adjustment of the turret. To lock the turret, the outer flange with the engraving must be pushed down in direction of the scope tube until the green mark disappears on the turret (Illustr. 7). To unlock the turret, the outer flange must be pulled up until the green mark appears (Illustr. ).

5.2 Preliminary adjusting and fine adjusting when sighting in

When sighting in the scope for the first time, or re-sighting the scope due to service or repair, a test shoot for zeroing the scope must be performed on a 100m distanceThe centering of the target pattern is then performed according to paragraph 5.3 and 5.4.

To zero the turrets unlock both turrets and loosen the two setscrews on each of the turrets using an Allen key (see Illustr. 7). Turn the turret until the engraved “0” is indicated by the mark on the saddle. Then tighten the two setscrews with an Allen key.

5.3 Elevation adjustment

Depending on the configuration, the point of impact is moved by either 0.1mrad (1cm on 100m) with every click. A too low point of impact is corrected by rotating the elevation turret counter-clockwise (see Illustr. 9), a too high point of impact by rotating the elevation turret clockwise.

For clockwise rotating turrets this relation is opposite!

5.4 Windage adjustment

Depending on the configuration, the point of impact is moved by either 0.1mrad (1cm on 100m) with every click. A too far left point of impact is corrected by rotating the windage turret counter-clockwise (see Illustr.0), a too far right point of impact is corrected by rotating the turret clockwise.

For clockwise rotating turrets this relation is opposite!
