Rifle Scopes S&B PMII turret click feedback

[Youngjoonni]

I have two S&B PMII 5-25 scopes. One is new and the other has been lightly used. I noticed that there is a definite difference in the feedback of the clicks while turning the turrets. On the softer S&B, only the windage turrets feel close. Both are not MTC but have the double turn indicator on the elevation.

Is there a way to alter the click feedback of the turrets? Just curious as this discrepancy does not affect the scope functions though I haven't mounted the new one to confirm.

Send them back to the S&B service center. They should be able to take care of them for you. Call them first and get an RMA number

Will do after deer hunting season is over.

Please excuse my ignorance but does S&B have a service center in the USA?

Thanks,

I read a post here about a DIY fix with pics. I'll try to dig it up and link it.

I would also send mine in rather than take the chance.

That only affects the MTC function, it has nothing to do with the regular clicks.

Rob01,
Thank you for the info. I was under the impression that S&B had to go back to the Fatherland for service. Makes ordering one a whole lot easier.

Rob gave good advice on not fixing it yourself. I would say to check the tracking. It could be that there is only a slight difference in the firmness of the clicks and just a difference between two seperate scopes.

A slight difference I can accept but it is more like stiff vs smooth. Both click in a similar manner but the effort required to turn the turrets are not even close. Still doesn't effect functionality so it is not a huge concern though I do intend to resolve it by sending it in for repairs to S&B next year.

Also, since it may be under warranty, it doesn't make sense to mess with it. Gonna call them later today if time allows.

Re: S&B PMII turret click feedback

I am sure it is covered by warranty. Have you considered that the other scope is not an MTC. The MTC turrets have a very distinct click and the standard turrets have very little click. I have two MTC's and just traded a 4x16 that was non MTC. It sounds like one is non MTC.

Re: S&B PMII turret click feedback

MTC turrets do not have the yellow pop-up indicator for the 2nd revolution unless if I am mistaken. Both of your scopes in your sig are MTC which mine are not.

Re: S&B PMII turret click feedback

Just spoke with Mark @ S&B on my issue. Nice CS and seemed very knowledgeable, as expected. I will be sending it in for repairs after this hunting season to resolve the issue.

BTW, quick plug, selling my good one to fund a S&B PMII MSR.

Re: S&B PMII turret click feedback

Good to hear about the customer service. I would be interested to hear what they find out when you send it in. Correct, both of the 5-25's are mtc, the 4x16x50 was not. You are correct on not having the yellow on them. The top of the turret raises up.
