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. I am very fond of the Schmidt & Bender 5-20×50 PM II Ultra Short, which is a perfect fit if you want to make your quality AR platform perform better. I own one, and I kind of wanted (at least) one more. Enter the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short, which attracted me with its larger magnification range.

According to Schmidt & Bender GmbH, the Department of National Defence in Canada have decided to equip their new C20 semi-automatic precision rifles, made by Colt Canada, with 3-20×50 PMII Ultra Short riflescopes from the German manufacturer.

The German Short Range Sniper Rifle (G26) tender was cancelled and rescheduled a few months ago, but that hasn’t stopped the Federal Office responsible for the Bundeswehr equipment procurement ( BAAINBw) to place an order with the riflescope specialist Schmidt & Bender. The order was placed on December 28, 2020, and there were two companies fighting for the order.

Photo Of The Day – For the first time in a very long time we got a tip from one of our readers “down-under” and quite an interesting one. The picture is from a New Zealand Army sniper course. One of the two soldiers who managed to pass the course is the New Zealand Army’s first female sniper.

Recently TFB reported about the G26 7.62×51 mm “Short Range Sniper Rifle” that the German Army is looking for.

Nothing to do? Every day you can turn to TFB’s selection of photos and perhaps learn something new. Today we look at Germany’s updated Sniper Rifle, which is called G22A2. It’s an Accuracy International AWM-F in .300 Winchester Magnum.

Most long-range shooters know Horus for their reticles like the H-59, Tremor2, and Tremor3.  They were the pioneers in what we now refer to as Christmas tree style reticles. They focused on the ability to have a refined hold point for hold-overs and provide for faster follow-up shots.  What many shooters may not know is Horus was also one of the early providers of ballistic software. At that time there weren’t apps for in the iTunes store for long-range shooting, in fact, the solver came on an SD card and needed to be run on a PDA or a Trimble device.  Things evolved and ATrag was integrated into the Kestrel 4500. Finally, ATrag was eclipsed by Applied Ballistics and we haven’t seen much of it since. Well, Horus Vision (under new ownership since 2016) is back with a suite of equipment to help the long-range shooter.

Accuracy International Ltd. (AI) based in Portsmouth, UK, announced an order to upgrade and retrofit the G22 sniper rifles of the German Armed Forces through its German representative POL-TEC.
