Schmidt u. Bender ZF 5-25x56 PM II/LP MSR2 1cm cw DT / ST

The Schmidt & Bender 5-25×56 PM II/LP with MSR2 reticle, 1 cm click adjustment, and clockwise rotation (cw) is an absolute top model among riflescopes and has been specifically designed for professional use in the military, police, and for precise long-range shooting in sports. It combines the highest optical quality with robust construction and intelligent mechanics – ideal for situations where absolute precision, reliability, and flexibility are required.

The magnification range of 5 to 25 times covers nearly all distances relevant in tactical or sporting contexts – from medium distances to well over 1,000 meters. The large 56 mm objective lens ensures excellent light transmission, even in poor lighting conditions or at dusk. With a light transmission of around 90%, the glass provides a very bright, high-contrast image across the entire magnification range.

The centerpiece of this model is the MSR2 reticle, which is located in the first focal plane (FFP). This means it remains correctly scaled at every magnification, making it significantly easier to hold, estimate, and work with leads – especially at varying distances or wind conditions. The reticle itself has been designed for the highest demands in tactical and sporting shooting, offering a fine, well-thought-out structure with many reference points for precise corrections and measurements.

The turret configuration with DT (Double Turn) elevation turret and ST (Single Turn) windage adjustment offers extremely precise and intuitive handling. The elevation turret allows for two full rotations, with a clear marking once you reach the second rotation – minimizing user errors at long distances. Adjustments are made in 0.1 mrad increments (equivalent to 1 cm at 100 m), allowing for very fine adjustments. The turrets rotate clockwise (cw) – a detail that may be relevant depending on personal preference.

Another advantage is the parallax adjustment, which ranges from about 10 meters to infinity – particularly useful at short distances or when maximum image sharpness and point of impact are required. The diopter adjustment on the eyepiece allows for individual adaptation to vision strength, which is especially comfortable during longer sessions at the shooting range or in the field.

The workmanship is – typical of Schmidt & Bender – uncompromisingly high quality. The stable 34 mm main tube not only allows for a wide adjustment range but also guarantees enormous durability. Weighing over one kilogram and measuring around 42 cm in length, the riflescope is not lightweight, but it is uncompromisingly stable and ready for use under the toughest conditions – rain, cold, recoil, or dirt do not affect this glass.

Regarding its intended use, this model is extremely versatile: it is excellent for sporting long-range shooting, tactical use, and precise hunting applications at great distances. Those looking for an optical system that reliably functions even under extreme conditions while providing maximum precision will make an excellent choice with the 5-25×56 PM II/LP.
