TFB Review: Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short Riflescope

This is a review of the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short riflescope, as a part of my mission to review all of the PM II models.

New Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-27×56 Rifle Scope

Schmidt & Bender is a world leader in scopes and optics, and this year at SHOT Show they came through with another amazing scope in the PMII 3-27x56mm Digital BT rifle scope. Whenever I visit their booth I am always impressed, and this year was no different.

The new PMII 3-27x56mm rifle scope is intimidating at first, but its range of magnification is like almost no other scope on the market. From a low 3x power to an impressive 27x power, and with additional digital information on the target, the needs of almost any shooter can be realized. There is another PMII option with 5-25x56mm range as well.
