SHOT Show: Featured Optics from Schmidt & Bender
Schmidt & Bender revealed some impressive optics at SHOT Show. Perhaps the “star” of the S&B line-up was the 3-27x56mm PMII. This optic boasts the first-ever 9 times zoom range. Originally custom-designed to U.S. SOCOM specs, this impressive optic won a contract for use in SOCOM sniper platforms. S&B’s representative said this scope, when employed with steep-angled bases, may be used to engage targets at distances exceeding 2 kilometers.
Unrivaled Brightness — T96 Polar Offers 96% Total Light Transmission
Schmidt & Bender also unveiled its all-new 2.5-10x50mm Polar T96 scope, which S&B claims is “the brightest low-light hunting scope in the world” Designed for hunting, the new Polar boasts extremely high 96% light transmission levels, the most ever in a 10-power scope. In addition, transmission of “night-relevant wavelengths” has been improved dramatically, offering 5% more light in the evening than other hunting scopes. This means the scope will be brighter at dusk than other optics, effectively extending a hunter’s usable time in the field, allowing the hunter to use “the last light of the day.” S&B is considering expanding the T96 scope line to include 3-12X or 4-16X models.
Schmidt & Bender had scores of scopes on display, worth well over $100,000 in retail value.

A Polar 4-16×50 would be very interesting!
3-27 Impressive range.
The color on that scope is the most putrid thing I’ve ever seen. Looks like someone mixed butterscotch and mustard; yuck!
On the other hand, the reporter Rachel Kopczyk more than makes up for the scope. What a doll.
Was any mention made of the Precision Rifle Blog review and Zant’s comments about the magnification range?
3-27x is indeed impressive if it would only be true. The tests on Precision Rifle Blog showed that the scope in question at 27x power actually showed only 22x magnification. This was so outrageous that our importer took one and measured the actual/real magnification… well it definitely was not 27x because he did not want to comment it anymore
I know it is fancy thesedays to have everything in tan or light dogshit brown, but points are not awarded for looks just for performance. With this price tag, it should be nothing less than perfect…
