wooferocau,
One more question....regarding the reticles...is the "dot" in the center the same size for both the LRR-MIL (5-45) vs the M1FL (6-60)?
I too really like the "dot" for target shooting, we have a white 3"x3" square in FCSA shooting inside the X ring....the "dot" is easy to center up on that.
Thanks ahead!

The LRR has a smaller centre dot....

Wow thanks!
I would have expected the other way around....but I see the LRR is .02MIL and the M1FL is .032 interesting.

Hi am a current owner of few SB PM II .05 mils/click scopes 6-36 and 5-45 and very happy with their glass and overall performance. I don’t know if I got a bad batch but a few months ago I purchased two (2) SB CM 10-60x56 w/ 0.05 mil /per click turrets. The first 10-60 scope was installed in my custom 338 LM. After approximately 20 rounds fired my FOV was blurred and both parallax elevation turrets were inop. My second 10-60 scope was installed on my custom 50 BMG rifle. After approximately 10 rounds fired the scope internals shattered. Both ocular and objective lenses looked fine. But you could hear the scope’s internal components moving when the scope was moved. I was going through a 50 cal certification course when this mishap happened. Luckily I had my SB PM II 5-45 and it performed flawlessly after 48 rounds of 50 BMG fired during my course in one day. My understanding from the SB rep was that these CM scopes are rated the same for 50 BMG as their PM counterparts. My two CM 10-60 scopes are currently in Germany for inspection and repairs. Just curious if any of you guys have encountered any issues w/ the 10-60 models.
Yeah, as mentioned @wooferocau has had some issues with the 10-60 and large calibers. I’m sure he’ll pop in soon.
Yeah i had a couple of the first 10-60,s ... both failed on large calibres after less than 10 rounds.
I worked with S&B Germany and an issue was identified.. and "Fixed"
All "Current' 6-36,s and 10-60,s are fine..
The issues you describe are exactly what happened to mine ........ Send them back to S&B in Germany and they will "Fix" the issue.
Again...ALL current production are 100% OK .. no issues..
I have since switched from the 6-36,s and 10-60,s to the 5-45,s ( 3 off) ... couldn't be happier~!!

Oopppss sorry I misunderstood your question. Normally say from 600 yds to 1000 yds I use on average 20x to 30x for all my SB scopes. Over that it depends on my reticle. On my 6-36 scopes I use both the P5FL and the GR2ID reticles. Both these reticles are awesome and have 0.2 mil subtentions from center dot. They work great at these distances but beyond can be challenging holding over/under at full magnification (36x) specially w/ changing conditions like gusty winds, etc. The SB 5-45 (LRR-Mil) and 10-60 (M1FL) scopes have 0.10 mil subtentions from center dot. That combined w/ 0.05 mils/click turrets makes for more “finer” adjustments 1000 yds to 1 mile and beyond at 45x to 60x at changing challenging conditions. My two cents…
Turrett looks different, what option is it?
Will be interesting to se how it holds up.
Not yet. Last time I checked w/ the SB reps in VA they said both scopes were shipped to Germany and normally it takes a few weeks for the repaired scopes to get back to VA. They will email me when they get back. Hopefully they will be set right.
Reason for asking is have seen some indications schmidt are changing the MT turrets. Received a newsletter from S&B yesterday, seems like atleast the 6-36 MT turretts are getting a 0.1mil click, 5 revolution elevation turrett.
Less clutter, and to be honest, dialing 20clicks per mil and being able to correct 0,5cm for is alot for most applications.
I tried following the direct links in the e-mail from schmidt, but met a 404 page error. On the «turret» section it still shows the previous version.
Anyone else have more info?
