Schmidt & Bender Scopes

The Schmidt & Bender story started back in 1957, in a small town in Germany where Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Bender, both master instrument makers, founded the Schmidt & Bender Company. Today, it has grown to be a strong “family oriented” enterprise. Being hunters themselves, they established the company’s strong foundation with their practical shooting experiences.

Schmidt & Bender rifle scopes were originally designed for hunting in the moonlight, as night hunting in Germany is legal. They perfected the remarkable light transmission and brilliance that Schmidt & Bender rifle scopes are known for.

You might be asking yourself for quite some time now what rifle scope is the best for you, and the answer depends. The most dangerous game is usually taken out at close ranges, and the Schmidt and Bender Zenith 1.1-4x24 focal length scope is perfectly ideal for the job. It presents a good wide field view that enhances your ability to pick up targets in the quickest possible time and shoot with open eyes even on low magnification. It works best on an all-around shooting and is perfect for close-range shots in thick-forested areas and bushes when set on low magnification. Long range shots are also well-accommodated by simply setting the scope on high magnification. And if maximum light transmission is important, you can always opt for a larger objective lens in lower magnification settings. It performs much better with fixed power scopes.

When it comes to advantages over its nearest competitors, Schmidt and Bender rifle scopes boast of the highest quality materials one can find in the precise mechanical components. Their optics are also manufactured following strict standards, with perfected multiple lens coatings that adhere with the current and advanced thin-layer technology available to man today. Their concept of the illuminated reticle system and the convex internal rail clearly demonstrate their creative minds, inspired by the demands of hunters and their customers alike. Schmidt and Bender value the reviews, tips and inputs offered not only by hunters, but also by rifle makers, professional shooters, and especially law enforcement agencies and military organizations in perfecting their whole range of rifle scope products offered in the market today. A comprehensive research and development team that performs a series of extensive tests turns these ideas into reality.

Always bear in mind that using rifle scopes in the middle of the day is ideally optimum, as you can always harness the brightness. But the real beauty of the rifle scope lies on how well it performs at night. And the Schmidt and Bender scopes offer you the best when it comes to this.
