Schmidt and Bender Rifle Scopes

Overview

The company of Schmidt & Bender was founded in 1957 by the precision mechanic Helmut Schmidt and the master precision mechanic Helmut Bender. Under the so-called house brands of GECO, HORRIDO, AKAH they manufactured scopes for German wholesalers, which are often still in use by hunters many years later.

It was only at the beginning of the seventies when a refined line of scopes was launched on the market under the own brand of Schmidt & Bender. Ten years later, the series of scopes with centered reticles made the decisive breakthrough toward a permanently successful market position.

Owing to active marketing during the following years, it was possible to develop Schmidt & Bender into an independent brand appreciated by hunters all over the world.

Did you knoW...

Schmidt & Bender scopes were originally designed for hunting from a stand, by moonlight in Germany, where night hunting is legal. That explains the exceptional light transmission and brilliance for which Schmidt & Bender scopes are known.

Rugged, simple and practical, Schmidt & Bender fixed power scopes allow you to hunt with the world's finest optics at a reasonable price.

Classic Variable Power

Our Classic variable power scopes offer exceptionally wide magnification ranges, giving you the flexibility of hunting in forest or open prairie. Schmidt & Bender variables are extremely precise, with no shift in point of impact across the entire magnification range.

For long-range shooting of small targets, our 4–16 x 50 Varmint scope is the perfect choice. Exceptional light transmission and a wide magnification range also allow it to perform double duty as an all-around hunting scope. Special reticles, including one with rangefinding capablities, allow you to place a precise shot to 800 yards

Zenith

So distinctive is the design of Schmidt & Bender's Zenith riflescopes, that upon their introduction they earned the prestigious international IF Design Award, and were selected by Field & Stream magazine as the "Best of the Best." Their streamlined elegance results in compact, efficient scopes that complement, not dominate, your rifles.

The full magnification range can be covered in just one 180 degree rotation—a mere half turn—of the adjustment dial. Eye relief is a safe and comfortable 90 mm (3 1/2 inches). Our POSICON system provides a graphic indication of the reticle's position and remaining travel within the scope, facilitating mounting, sighting in, and insuring that you retain as much elevation and windage adjustment as possible.
