22 National and World HFT title holder, but he is also a scope collector, hoarder and aficionado, and I asked him what he thought of the PM2. I like a nice scope, but I also wanted to get the opinion of a true scope magpie.
223 on Weaver mounts and he swaps it to his 22LR and his. In fact, I know one person who has a PM2 on his. The turrets are tactical and give a positive click and as these scopes are designed for high-recoil bullet guns, they are going to be fine on a PCP or a springer. You can alter the blur in the scope by adjusting the fast focus at the ocular end, and this gives you adjustment from -2 to +3. Looking at the scope, though, it is parallaxed at 22 metres, or 23 yards, and this will give you a clear image from 12 to 45 yards and crystal clear from 15 to 41 yards. This can be a huge advantage because it can show you if there is a wind drift that you had not spotted at the peg. Medium and high mounts will not affect the flight of the pellet - Credit: ArchantĪlso, with the high definition of the glass, you can pick up on the slightest of movements from a blade of grass or leaf falling down. I don't know what coating they use on this scope, but I would like it applied to my eyes please. When testing in my back garden, the light gathering was better than my own eyes at 45 yards I couldn't make out the kill zone of a target, but when looking through the scope, I could not only make out the kill, I could also still see some individual pellet strikes. In fact, in poor light the Schmidt is stunning. At 45 yards, instead of looking at a kill zone, you can see the individual pellet strikes in the kill zone, and this can be done not just on a bright sunny day, but when dusk is coming in and also in a dense woodland. Yes, other scopes will give me a great sight picture, but with this PM2 HFT you can start to look for more information on a target plate. For me, using the Schmidt is like looking at a target in HD. air rifles, but quality is still important.Īs we get older, our eyes start to deteriorate and there comes a time when we need some help. With that said though, we are not shooting 50 cal Barret long rifles, we are shooting sub-12 ft.lb. They have had a reputation in both the target community, and military and police, for unrivalled build quality and optical clarity for many years. Well, to start with, it would be fair to say that when it comes to quality, you do not get much better then Schmidt and Bender. 10 How to: choose the right pellet for your airgun.7 3 of the best: break-barrel air rifles under £300.
4 3 of the best: Weihrauch airguns reviewed in 2021.3 The most important element affecting Springer accuracy.It does not matter what you do with the scope, it will not affect the ballistics and drop of the pellet. What you need to know is this: With a gun zeroed at 40 yards, the pellet will strike 20mm below crosshairs at 45 yards with low mounts it will strike 20mm below with high mounts, and it will strike 20mm below with no scope on the gun at all. When you have low mounts, you are looking closer to the horizontal of the pellet's flight, and to the human eye, it looks like the pellet is dropping more. If you have high mounts, you are looking at the drop from a higher point and through the flatter part of the pellet's flight at long range. What is actually happening is this: When you fire the gun, the pellet comes out of the barrel and climbs and then begins to drop. This is correct, but what is causing the confusion is that people think is actually the pellet being affected. 4 of a mi dot at 45 yards, but will drop 3 nil dots at 8 yards. However, if you put high mounts on your gun, your pellet will only drop. 6 of a mil dot at 45 yards, and 2 mil dots at 8 yards. Or to put it another way, if you have a 40-yard zero, then with medium mounts, your pellet will drop. In the world of HFT, there is a common trope that says, if you have high mounts it will tighten your ranges at distance, but increase them close up.
