Schmidt & Bender 5-45×56 PM II High Power<\/a><\/h3>\n

1. Scope description<\/h2>\n

1.1 Introduction<\/h3>\n

The Schmidt & Bender PM II series scopes are designed to meet the unique
\nchallenges of high precision shooting. Their quality and function make it
\npossible 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.<\/p>\n

1.2 Safety instructions<\/h3>\n

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
\nmaintenance described in the maintenance manual should only be
\nperformed by Schmidt & Bender or by other specialists authorized by Schmidt & Bender. Protect the scope against shocks beyond normal use.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The scope must be properly mounted to the firearm by a qualified specialist.
\nPerfect mounting is an essential requirement for maximum accuracy and
\nefficient functioning of the firearm and the scope. Be sure to assume the
\nproper firing position and keep a correct eye relief in order to obtain an
\noptimal full field of view and to avoid any injuries due to the recoil of the
\nweapon.<\/p>\n

4. Operating instructions<\/h2>\n

Your new Schmidt & Bender riflescope consists of different functional parts
\nand adjustments (see Illustr. 2).<\/p>\n

4.1 Adjusting the image focus with the diopter adjustment of the eyepiece<\/h3>\n

The eyepiece provides the adjustment of the reticle focus to the individual
\neye diopter. Set the scope to the highest magnification. Rotate the eyepiece
\ncounterclockwise until it stops. Rotate the eyepiece clockwise until you see a
\nsharp image of the reticle (see Illustr. 3).<\/p>\n

4.2 Parallax adjustment<\/h3>\n

The 5-45×56 PM II scope provides parallax compensation with an easily operable setting wheel (Illustr. 4), positioned as a third turret opposite the
\nwindage adjustment. With this turret the shooter may easily focus targets at
\nany distance without having to interrupt his target acquisition.<\/p>\n

The parallax adjustment turret is engraved with distance markings. If the
\ndistance to the target is known rotate the turret so that the corresponding
\ndistance marking lines up with the index mark on the saddle.<\/p>\n

If the distance to the target is not known set the scope to the highest
\nmagnification and then move the adjustment ring of the parallax compensation in the direction of the estimated distance until you obtain a focused image. Now the parallax has been properly adjusted and you may
\nalso read the distance on the turret.<\/p>\n

4.3 Illumination control<\/h3>\n

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

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).<\/p>\n

If the illumination is not switched off by the shooter after use, illumination
\ncontrol electronics automatically switch off the illumination after 6 hours.
\nIf the illumination starts blinking, the battery is low and should be replaced.<\/p>\n

4.4 Changing the battery<\/h3>\n

To replace the battery screw off the battery cap and remove the old battery.<\/p>\n

Please discard the used battery in an ecologically compatible way!<\/p>\n

Place the new battery (coin cell CR 2032\/3V) with the \u201e+” facing up into the
\nbattery compartment. Do only change the battery in a dry environment.
\nBattery service life is at least 100 hours at the highest intensity (see Illustr. 6).<\/p>\n

4.5 Using the reticle for the distance estimation<\/h3>\n

The different available reticles offer a variety of possibilities to estimate or
\nmeasure important parameters by means of reticle subtensions. This allows the shooter to place highly precise shots even on large distances by use of the estimates, the ballistic compensator and the parallax adjustment.<\/p>\n

The reticle is in the first focal plane such that the reticle subtensions remain
\nconstant on all magnifications.<\/p>\n

Exemplary for the P4F reticle in the first focal plane (see picture below) the
\ndistance \u201cB\u201d of the longer lines corresponds to 10cm\/100m. The shooter can
\nthus calculate the distance to a target which size is known by measuring it with the reticle pattern: If a 10cm sized target fits in between two large lines,
\nit is positioned in a distance of 100m.<\/p>\n

For arbitrary object sizes and distances a relation exists according to the
\nfollowing formula:<\/p>\n

\"Instructions<\/p>\n

Whereas<\/p>\n

? is the distance to the target,
\n? is the estimated size of the target,
\n? is the size of the target on the reticle pattern.<\/p>\n

According to the measured distance, the parallax can be set and the bullet
\ndrop can be compensated by the elevation turret.<\/p>\n

\navailable datasheets.<\/p>\n
