theshootist Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Is it the PM II? If so grab it and ask of he has got another! I have one on my .22-250 and it's more scope than I need. The glass is very good and the whole scope feels very high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Hi gents I know someone selling a Schmidt and Bender long range scope for about £650 just wanted to know if there any good any help would be appreciated thanks Matt Why is he selling it?, what has he replaced it with?. Given a good answer to A above then It should be ideal, perhaps a shade heavy of you are of an age where weight becomes an issue if you have to carry it far. But at the price it is I would certainly buy it, you could make £150 here is you dont like it. I did bid on a well used one at Holts Auction recently, it made almost the price of a new one, once auctioneers comission was added it would have been cheaper to buy new.

theshootist Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've noticed that on a lot of accessories sold at holts... It's almost as if people are not looking at retail prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevb Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi Matt, I have a Schmidt long range 4-16x50, had it a good few years and it has been as you would expect from a Schmidt excellent, started out on a .223 then .243, then recently onto my HMR. Only down side for me is the reticle is in the first focal plane (cross gets bigger when you zoom in) so it can cover a target at long range hence the swap for a Nightforce on the .243, it's is fine on the HMR head shooting rabbits out to 140 yrds but beyond that you can loose the target behind the cross. As for the quality and clarity of the glass it kicks the Nightforce well into second place... At £650 I would buy it and if you don't get on with it, flog it on.....

brooksy97 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks gents I was thinking of putting it on my. 223 but was thinking it was a little overkill as I'm only shooting out to about 150 yards.I have just spoken to him,and he was looking for 750, reason for sale is he has health issues and can no longer shoot, so if anyone interested Please Pm me and Il pass the info to him, once again thanks for the reply guys, matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
