The ability to lock the turrets once an adjustment has been made avoids accidental movement. MTC means that every 1.0 mil of adjustment carries a weighted feeling, giving the user a physical indication of the movement. When 14 Mils is reached on the first turn, a tab raises from the centre of the turret to signify to the user that they are now on the second and should read from the top line of markings covering the remaining 12 Mils. The double turn design allows the entire 26 Mils of adjustment to be used in just two rotations. The elevation turret offers an adjustment range of 0-26 Mils in 0.1 clicks and carries several important designations MTC LT DT ZS (More Tactile Clicks, Locking Turret, Double Turn and Zero Stop). The ‘LP’ designation denotes an illuminated reticle powered by a CR2032 battery with 11 brightness settings controlled via a rheostat, as well as side focus parallax. It offers a magnification range of 5-25x and is built around a 34mm main tube with a 56mm objective, all with a matt black finish.

This PMII uses the highest quality glass as per normal S&B spec and needs no introduction. Specifically, the PMII LP MTC LT/ ST ZS LT, which I shall translate later! However, it is not just the scope on test but the brand new LRR-Mil reticle. There are numerous incarnations and a wide selection of options, like reticle and turret type, standard, ultra-short or high power versions, far too many to list! I was offered the opportunity to test one of the most popular models in the UK, the 5-25 x 56. The Schmidt & Bender (S&B) PMII rifle scope has been around for some time now, yet over the years it has been tinkered with and improved.
