Description
Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short Product description
- Extended 7× Zoom in a Compact Body: The 3–20×50 PM II Ultra Short delivers a wide 3–20× magnification range with the same optical quality as the standard model, but in a body that’s approximately 4 cm shorter—ideal for DMR applications on short rails.
- Bright 50 mm Objective: Offers excellent light transmission and a large exit pupil, maintaining clarity from dawn to dusk under diverse field conditions.
- Low-Profile Tactical Turrets: Features a 35 mrad low-profile elevation turret and capped windage turret—compact and snag-free for use with red-dot co-witness setups.
- First Focal Plane Illuminated Reticle & Side Parallax: Includes popular reticle options (e.g., Tremor3, P4, MSR2) in the FFP with illumination—from NV to daylight—and side-focus parallax from 25 m to ∞.
ABOUT THE PM II ULTRA SHORT SERIES
The Ultra Short variants preserve all optical and rugged mechanical qualities of the classic PM II lineup while offering a more compact form factor (length similar to the 3–12×50 PM II), making them ideal for DMR, semi-auto platforms, and dual-optic configurations.
ABOUT THE MODEL (3–20×50 PM II ULTRA SHORT)
This model keeps the same high-quality glass, edge-to-edge sharpness, and optical transmission as the standard PM II but in a reduced length. It includes a robust diopter adjustment and illuminated Tremor3 reticle praised for minimal chromatic aberration.
Its side-focus and illumination controls are accessible without obstructing the field of view, and the parallax turret is easy to operate under pressure.
ULTRA SHORT VS STANDARD PM II
- Tubing & Turrets: Ultra Short uses a 35 mrad low-profile elevation turret and capped windage, while the standard model has a taller 26 mrad MTC turret and exposed windage turret.
- Size & Handling: Ultra Short is 4 cm shorter (approx. 343 mm vs 382 mm) and lighter (approx. 920 g vs 1,011 g), enhancing balance and compatibility with compact rifle platforms.
- Optical & Illuminated Performance: Both share identical optical quality, side-focus parallax, and first focal plane illuminated reticles. Differences lie in turret design and form factor.
