I’m really sorry about the delay on the S&B 1-8x video. We have had a few issues with this video occur and trying to recover it.

What is the MSRP ($), for the 1-8 ?
What is the FOV, for the 1-8 ?
Thanks

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
I got to shoulder the S&B 1-8X at the Ft. Benning International Sniper Competition Sponsors booth yesterday. I was told that this was a prototype version, and that S&B was acutely aware of the thin reticle criticism. To be honest, the lines are so faint at 1X that you better have irons if your batteries go down. Having said that, the glass is crystal clear in typical short dot fashion, and the red dot is easily visible on white background in the bright Columbus sun.
I also agree that the MK8 has better locking turrets, but this is not as dramatic of a deficiency as the reticle. Having played with both, I still prefer the S&B to the TMR version of the MK8 due to the presence of a daylight visible red dot at low magnification. I see the visible dot as a must have for a scope that goes down to 1X. Without it, I'd much rather run a NF 2.5-10X with red dot offset on a MWS or SCAR-H. I also prefer the S&B's more compact design.
As for delivery, the sales rep claimed that .gov / .mil orders were shipping this month, and that civilian orders would go in January. I'm not sure if she was feeding me a line of BS since I'm not aware of any agencies ordering this scope in signifiant numbers. She also said that S&B would be offering other reticle choices down the line that might correct the fine line at low magnifications.
Nightforce was pushing their F1 5.5-22X (meh) at their booth. I love their current F1 3.5-15X, but I feel that F1 reticles become telephone poles at 22X - call it a personal preference. They denied any 1-8X offering in the near future. This is fine with me since I'd rather they work on the daylight visibility of their current 1-4X reticle before jumping into the 1-8X waters.

5.5-22 f1? Was it still 30mm tube?
Sounds cool!

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
I did not ask that specific question, but I assume that will be a 30mm tube. The 5.5-22X on hand was a SFP model. I was just surprised that the rep was making an "official" announcement given how tight lipped NF can be with pending products.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
For those that have handled the S&B 1-8. How much total elevation adjustment does it have? I see that it has a single turn 10 mil elevation dial. I assume it has more useable elevation to get you zeroed first? Then once you are zeroed you are limited to the 10 mil single turn? If this is the case, does anyone know how much total elevation adjustment it has?
If I am way off can someone clear it up for me? Thanks

You are correct. I'm 100% for sure but I would guess there is some were around 30mils in the whole scope. Maybe Frank checked that.

Thank you for the video. I really hope they do something about the reticle at 1x. If they made the outer portion of the reticle thicker, it would be a big improvement on 1x and not even be noticed on 8x. Something like SWFA's t reticle on their 1-4. It does not need to be illuminated.
I honestly wouldn't mind a thicker reticle even in the center portion. I feel this scope is for SPR military/leo use or 3gun. I don't think it is necessary to have a super fine reticle for making tiny groups.
Even with the downsides of the reticle, I am saving my pennies.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
There were rumors at the Ft. Benning International Sniper Comp last week that the P3 reticle would be available in the US sometime in the future. This would probably help a lot, but there is not a definite date.
Even with the thin reticle, I still favor the S&B over the Mk8 due to the visible daylight red dot. I will only use the red dot (or BUIS if the battery dies) at 1X. I know that the Horus version of the MK8 has a visible red dot, but I'm not a Horus fan and I've not heard a definite word that this version will make it to civilian hands.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
Holy crap... 50mm eyebell... thats pretty crazy. I didnt know that. But now that you mention it, it looks huge. Im guessing the eyebox is huge as well?
Also hate to be kicking a dead horse here... but is there any new news on release? I know im not the only one... but ive been growing visibly older waiting for this scope haha.
thanks -Evan

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
My math says that eyebell in a 1.5" mount should clear a 2nd gen MBUS by ~1.85mm, with an additional .035" clearance in the LaRue OBR mount.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
After talking with the CEO, it looks like March for the 3-20's and about the same for the 1-8's. They've done a delivery of 600 for the German Army on the 3-20's, the big issue seems to be in the assembly process, which needeed some serious work. Way too time consuming, they seem to have it streamlined and they are building right now.

I am in need of a scope. To risk waiting or not. I have an international comp booked at the end of May. The 3-20 would be spot on.
S&B please pick your ideas up.

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
Don't believe the MSR is being offered in the 3-20. Just the 5-25. The H2CMR is available in the 3-20. That's what mine was ordered in. I just checked the German site and it states the P4, P4F, Klein, H2CMR, H58 and H37. Also lists Police which i believe is the standard P3 mildot.
No problem Rath. I hope it's true. I am really looking forward to the scope.

Yup, it sounds like moving up to this higher magnification ratio has burdened the manufacturing process for not just S&B but Premier and others. Expect more delays...

Re: Schmidt & Bender Short Dot 1-8x24 and S&B 3-20x50
It appears that the 3-20 has undergone some changes since it was initially shown @ shot, specifically the turret appears quite different. I've searched but cannot find any in depth info, can anyone who was @ shot or someone from S&B provide an update?
Thanks,
Rath

Here is a link to Schmidt & Bender's site.

The objective is 50mm and the elevation range looks to be 0-64MOA or 0-26MRAD.

There is a preliminary agreement with S&B that MSR will be available also in PMII 3-20x50. Not in first wave when 3-20x starts shipping, but a bit later.

I'm thinking that's ideal for a 5.56, maybe a little more mag for a .308?
If you are going to have a T1/MRD offset, consider a higher mag scope like a 3-15x for longer range.

I'm thinking that's ideal for a 5.56, maybe a little more mag for a .308?

Sure, that'd work. In my case, I went w the 2.5-10/vel. ret. on a SCAR 17s, keeping it light & compact. My bolt gun has the USO Tpal 3.2-17...I could use more mag. there...

The RMR is another option to consider.

Added a video from SHOT SHOW 2012.
We have been told a few different ETA on so I'm not sure what to tell any other than when we see them we see them.
