[QUOTE="BravoEMike, post: 19926, member: 2631"] Greetings: Some conclusions... Last week I made an inquiry with Schmidt & Bender USA and TAC-Pro, for replacement of my current scope. I am leaning towards S & B 4-16/mil-dot reticle. (Thank your Brown Dog, Pete, and Subsonic Flyer) However I have recently learned that Accuracy International has a Schmidt & Bender Scope made to there specifications. This scope has a mil-dot reticle and a range finding feature...as seen through the bottom of the scope. Also there is a bullet cam built into the elevation turret...I am guessing similar to the Leupold M3 Long Range series scopes. Tac-Pro is currently checking on the availability of a .300 win mag., cam from Schmidt & Bender. I have also explored Night Force (2nd choice), US Optics...they seem overly complex to me...and on there web site they defend there products against Scmidt & Bender?? Hmmm...what's that about?? They do get good reviews from others who write here though. Sooo...PMII (4X16), Accuracy International Model, or off the shelf PMII?? Either way I have to get new 34mm mounts... Pete...I digress! Accuracy International Mounts $105.00 US...Badger $300.00, Schmidt & Bender PMII $2000.00 plus...I think these prices are close but not exact. This Long Range STUFF...madness is all...just plain madness! And to think I am going to do this just to bust a Roe Buck at under fifty meters, or a bear at under 25...Ha! However...I am prepared to do what it takes to get what I...WANT? CONFIDENCE!! Previously I have been doing most all this with confidence using a Styer 30-06 Carbine/open sights for many years. I felt at no disadvantage...using open sights out to 200 yards, on rare occasions to 300 yards...deer sized game. Muzzle velocity? An inch high at 100 yards, or was it meters...well who cared then, no one told me about that. Experience!!, sight picture, press, blam!, down. Bullet type...hmmmm not certain? Does it really matter!! Oh! Pete, couple years ago I installed a scope on this rifle...not going to tell you which which quick detachable mount I used. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Rant!! This is rapidly approaching buying a used car! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Well not quite. So...can anyone tell me how this Accurray International/Schmidt & Bender ranging scope Works?? Hensoldt? I have a 4X...and like it much. Can a Hensoldt be purchased in the US as used on the German G-22 rifle? Are there any details known or published about this scope? Subsonic Flyer...does your Schmidt & Bender have the ranging reticle? Thank you for starting this thread...again this has challenged my thinking!! Brown dog...shooting off hand with an Accuracy Internationl...surely, you all...must be giants in England!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Enjoy!! Semper Fi Bruce ~~___/)~*~ [/QUOTE]
