I was able to see the target well enough to hit is with the Razor but I was able to see fine detail with the PMII. I have had this same experience with my Razor and the PMII but this time in pretty good air but at 800yds to 1000yds. Now the Zeiss is no slouch as far as optics goes but the Bender was better. I then started playing with the magnification and it was crazy how much better the PMII was with all things equal. I verified both scopes were on the same power and I even verified both scopes were clean. However when I went to the PMII I was shocked to see the image was brighter and much more defined. I was able to see my targets 100yds with the Zeiss but not very well (it looked kinda dim and foggy). It was about 30f and VERY foggy max vizability was around 200-225 yards and the sun was nowhere to be found (this is what I mean by bad air).
They were both adjusted for my eyes and clean. On one rifle I had a 5-25X56 PMII and on the other I had a Zeiss Divari/Victory 6-24X56 both pretty compairable scopes. As far as mechanics all I mentioned are (or can be) 100% but the difference comes in when you are in bad weather/air, or long range.Ĭase in point last Sunday I was shooting some rimfire 50yds and 100yds.
NF is a GREAT scope no dobut, as is Hensoldt, Zeiss Divari/Victory, & even the Razor but none of them can keep up with the PMII in the optics department. Originally Posted By: Hakshot Is Schmidt & Bender really worth the extra $$$?

If your a DIY mechanic that works on things every 6 months you probably couldn't justify filling your tool box with Snap-On tools, maybe you could, if mechanic is your full time job or hobby you could most likely justify the cost or have a better understanding why you need the best. It really comes down to the fact that no one can answer your question better than you. Fast forward to today, I use Premier and S&B, I justified the purchase because I love the sport and like to shoot matches, I justified the cost.
This is not to say the glass on the Falcon was just as good as the high dollar scopes or the turrets track as well, not at all the case. Years later, money got tight and I couldn't afford high end optics any longer so I decided to swallow my pride and purchase a Falcon Menace 4-14 mil/mil scope and put it on my high dollar rifle, I did just as well with it. As my interest grew it was time to try Nightforce, then USO, then S&B and so on. When I started shooting I opted to purchase a Leupold not knowing anything about mils vs MOA, FFP vs SFP, or the difference in glass quality. Glass and optics is a very subjective subject, as is the "is it worth it" statements.
