Schmidt & Bender PMII Short Dot riflescopes

The 1.1-4x20 PM II ShortDot model is a combination of a red dot sight and a scope. It has been developed for the use at short and medium distances. With a low magnification the Short-Dot may be used like a red dot sight. The red target dot is mirrored in the center of the reticle. Turned off the illuminated dot vanishes completely leaving the user with a normal reticle. The illuminating unit offers 5 illumination stages for the use in broad daylight. The red dot remains visible, even on snow or sand or in bright sunlight. The use in poor lighting conditions provides for 3 illuminated stages, while another 3 three stages permit the use in combination with night-vision goggles. An automatic locking function is used to secure elevation and windage as well as the illuminating unit against any involuntary adjustment.

The 1-8x24 PM II ShortDot CC is the newest member of the ShortDot line and a particular highlight as well, as it integrates a true red dot sight with the patented CC mode into one riflescope. Simply turn the magnification adjustment beyond the soft click at 1.1x to "CC", and the system becomes parallax-free with 1x magnification for near distances of 7-10 m. The bright red dot in the second focal plane then serves as the basic reticle, while the fine CQB2 reticle is available at larger magnifications for tactical use. Since the scope is primarily used on assault rifles, it is short and light. In addition, the elevation and side turrets have a locking function to prevent unintentional adjustment during transport.
