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.

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.
