SHOT Show Report: Schmidt & Bender 12-50×56 PM2 Finally Arrives!
Our readers have been waiting a long time for Schmidt & Bender to bring its new high-magnification 12.5-50×56 PMII scope to American shores. We first wrote about this scope in April 2007. In February 2008, we published a follow-up report on the example we saw at the 2008 SHOT Show. For nearly two years now, American shooters have been asking us: “When can I get one?” Well, save your pennies. The scopes are slated to arrive in June, 2009 … provided S&B can deliver on its promises.
S&B Says the 12-50×56 Will Arrive in June
The scope will be available in the USA in limited quantities in summer 2009, hopefully in June. There are two (2) models. The black PMII version has a 34mm main tube and either 1/8 or 1/4 MOA clicks. Both normal and rapid two-turn counter-clockwise (CCW) turrets are offered on the PMII. The silver Field Target model comes with a 30mm main tube, and parallax that works down to 7 meters. Both scopes are priced at US $2849.00.
For more information, contact Mark Cromwell, Schmidt & Bender’s USA Manager, at 800-468-3450.

Can you tell us what the reticle options might be and what the elevation range is for both the 1/8 and 1/4 MOA dials?
How about the weight and the wait?? It was Dec 08 now its June 09 ??
Just back from the Range.Met a good frend who has one of the 12,5-50×56 S&B´s 1/4MOA.( One of the first deliverd in Germany )
Compared to my 12-42 NSX Nightforce…..unbelivable
Turnd magnification down to 30X on both and compared 1to1 it´s like …..everything More clearly better colours…..
EDITOR: Michael, I had a similar reaction looking at the 12.5-50 prototype at the 2008 SHOT show. At 40X it seemed as bright as a 25X Leupold. At 20X it was super bright–like you’d expect with a 10X hunting scope. When people ask what the difference is between a Leupold, I said it’s like sitting in your car, looking to the side, and then rolling the window down–everything is clearer, brighter, more vivid.
Please ,Can some one tell me the size of the dot on the sport reticle?
