Schmidt & Bender is synonymous with precision, reliability, and elite performance. Since its founding in 1957, the company has been dedicated to designing and producing premium riflescopes that meet the exacting demands of both civilian marksmen and the world’s most elite military and law enforcement units. From the legendary 5-25x56 PM II to today’s most advanced models, Schmidt & Bender scopes have set the global standard for long-range optics — and the new 6-36x56 PM II continues that legacy.
Engineered for the Modern Warfighter and Precision Shooter
The 6-36x56 PM II was developed in response to the increasing requirements of modern combat and extreme long-range shooting (ELR). As battlefield and competition environments have evolved, so too has the need for a riflescope that offers greater magnification, extended elevation travel, improved reticle choices, and intuitive turret systems — all while maintaining the bombproof construction Schmidt & Bender is known for.
Designed in collaboration with Tier 1 military units and professional long-range shooters, the 6-36x56 is more than a riflescope — it’s a complete precision targeting system.
