Rifle Scopes schmidt and bender 3-20 reviews

[Opticsspecialist]

I wanted to post a review and my thoughts on the 3-20. We’ve been shooting one with the p4 fine since we started getting them and I’ve been happy with it. So far, tracking has been spot on. The optics are what you would expect from a Schmidt and Bender, the eye box is good, and while some people don’t like the mtc turrets, I find I can make my adjustments faster counting by 10’s and I certainly like the locking turrets. I usually adjust elevation and hold for wind, so being about to lock that windage turret and forget about it is nice. The size and weight of the scope make for a very appealing package if you want a shorter scope or a scope that will perform a wide variety of tasks, you have plenty of magnification for long range, and 3x will allow you to get relatively close. This is a perfect package for a smaller shorter rifle, or a precision gas gun. Apart from my short review here, I searched out archives and found some reviews were submitted on the 3-20 scopes, so I want to post those as well.

Review: This scope and reticle combination is easily one of the top scopes in the world. The glass is very clear, the eye relief is excellent and the Horus grid is easy to see but not so distracting that you cannot see your target.

Review: I've owned a lot of high-end optics including several Schmidt and Bender PM II and for my most recent project decided to give the 3-20x50 a try. The scope proved itself to be an excellent buy. The turret system works well and tracks precisely. The optics are everything you would expect from German glass. Might prove out to be my favorite long-range optic. GTG

Review: I have two of these scopes with the MSR reticle. They are rock solid and will not let you down. With the price of lesser scopes increasing all the time, I found that with just a little more saving I could afford the best.

Review: Fast delivery, great price and remarkable scope. Glass ultra crisp and clear, turrets have positive clicks. The perfect tuff high power riflescope for hunting or tactical use.


We have a great selection of these scopes and even a few display models. Let Chris or I know if you’re interested in these or any other optics on our site.

Ok,question.
There "is no concept of a typical tunnel" for optics S&B?
Thanks!

I will have my review moving along the 3-20x,

Last week I was out testing and playing with a 3-20x with H2CMR and was really happy with the results. Mounted, Zeroed, Tracking test to 7 Mils just to start, next I will get the video finalized and ready to roll out.

I'm really happy with this 3-20x, it's on the money, great picture, solid adjustments.

 

[hintonrc51]

Thanks for the review. I've been reading up on the 3-20 since I already have the 5-25. Keep them coming guys.

 

[TheJ]

It looks like it might be 30mm? Compared to the usual 34mm? Maybe the pics are deceiving.

Been trying to figure out what glass I want to top my new 6.5grendel with, as its almost back from the coating shop. Appreciate these reviews and will check back for any others. Was also considering an NF F1.

 

[ElectricFuneral]

No it's 34.

 

[Bruiser_Joe]

I have had 2 of em for a while now. Been fairly pleased with em. Its a much nicer size then the 5-25 which is a great scope but is a big one. I have one in p4f and a H2CMR i find the reticle a little thick at 20x where as my 5-25 H2CMR is a little more fine but nothing i can't deal with. Adjustments are fine, the locking mechanism is easy to use. They are what you would expect from S&B

 

[sib1948]

Thanks for the review. Nice size for most shooters, but think you would need more than 20X for distances greater than 1000 yds.

 

[Bruiser_Joe]

i run razor 5-20's as well, 20x is plenty for most distances. is 25 nice for LR well yeah but that mag usually comes with the price of a much larger optic. I have never had any issues with mag on any of my 20x optics for most short action calibers its plenty.

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this exact set up Frank. I have a 20" GAP rifle that needs an optic. I am pretty much set on this one. It will be invaluable to hear your insights before I pull the trigger on ordering it.
