Schmidt Bender scopes have been called "the best in the world" by writers and hunters around the globe.
Our brightest scopes.
Keep in mind that all scopes look relatively bright in the middle of the day. The true quality of a riflescope becomes apparent at last light or, in the case of Schmidt & Bender, even after dark. Make arrangements to compare different scopes in late evening or at night. It is the only way you can approximate actual hunting conditions.
A scope for a lifetime. Or two.
Service for your riflescope is guaranteed to be available for up to 30 years after its original delivery. During the first 10 years, that service is free of charge if the problem is due to material or manufacturing defects.
All repair orders are confirmed to the client immediately after the scope arrives. When repairs are completed, your scope is returned along with a diagnostic report detailing the work that was performed. With very old riflescopes, our service staff will provide you with a cost estimate.
All scope repairs are handled in Germany, under the factory's control. Many times a loaner scope can be provided to you to keep you in the field until your scope is returned.
Upgrading an older scope
A popular service we can provide is the upgrading of an older scope from a standard to an illuminated reticle. Schmidt & Bender scopes with serial numbers below 10,000 (for variable models) and below 35,000 for the 8 x 56 fixed power can be retrofitted with illuminated reticles. Every conversion includes a thorough cleaning and a meticulous refilling with nitrogen. You will not even have to re-zero your scope, as we record the original reticle adjustment and transfer the settings to your new illuminated reticle.
