Turret Configurations - Hunting
The hunting riflescopes are offered with various versions of elevation and windage adjustment turrets. Most hunting BDC turrets are offered in cm or in MRAD since most of our
hunting reticles are MRAD based as well. All of these options are categorized via an abbreviation system which is explained below.
Functions (Abbreviations)
BDC = Bullet Drop Compensation
BDC turrets are used to quickly adjust the reticle position to various distances beyond the original zero without removing any turret caps. BDC turrets feature easy-to-read marks and digits and are primarily suited to long-distance shooting or hunting. With one simple movement, it is possible to adjust the reticle to enable accurate hits on distant targets.
CT = Capped Turret
CT features the possibility to install a cap on top of the turret via a thread in order to avoid accidental adjustments.
LT = Locking Turret
BDC II and BDC II-B incorporates a mode lever which locks or unlocks the turret. With the mode lever pointing towards the barrel’s muzzle, the turret is locked. If the mode lever is turned towards the magnification ring, the turret is unlocked.
SZC = Sub-Zero Clicks
Sub-Zero Clicks are clicks which are below the engraved “0”. This allows for quick reaction without re-zeroing to weather conditions like air pressure or if your POI has changed due to the use of a suppressor or night vision device.
KLASSIK CT (ELEVATION AND WINDAGE)
Capped (CT) Klassik turret adjustments elevation and windage
This simple and accurate system has been proven by many users around the world for years. The Klassik turret adjustment gives you a quick visual reference of the reticle position which insures a uniformly large adjustment range in both directions for perfect zeroing.
Available for: Klassik Series
POSICON CT (ELEVATION AND WINDAGE)
Capped (CT) Posicon turret adjustments elevation and windage
The Posicon (Position control) turret adjustment is a unique Schmidt & Bender feature and reflects its superb engineering and quality standards. The turrets adjustments are color-coded and enable you to identify the reticle position within the riflescope at a glance. This eliminates any possibility of binding the adjustment within the riflescope body and enables a simple and perfect way of zeroing.
Available for: 1-8x24 Exos, 4-16x56 Polar T96 and Zenith Series
BDC (ELEVATION)
Classic Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) elevation turret
This unique and proven BDC is a very simple system which can be operated without using any tools. By using the coin slot it can be reset easily to zero. After this, one simple movement is enough to adjust the reticle to distant targets.
Available for: Zenith and Klassik Series
BDC II LT (ELEVATION)
Lockable (LT) Bullet Drop Compensation II (BDC II) elevation turret with Sub-Zero Clicks (SZC)
The BDC II is primarily suited to long-distance shooting or hunting. The turret combines an enhanced adjustment range with an effective BDC II locking function which avoids unintentional adjustment.
Available for: 3-18x42 Meta, 1-8x24 Exos and 4-16x56 Polar T96
BDC II LT (WINDAGE)
Lockable (LT) Bullet Drop Compensation II (BDC II) windage turret
The enhanced BDC II turret is also available as a windage turret for our hybrid riflescope 4-16x56 Polar T96 with tactical P4FL reticle. This windage turret is perfect for quick adjusting wind drift.
Available for: 3-18x42 Meta, 4-16x56 Polar T96 with P4FL reticle
BDC II-B LT (ELEVATION)
Lockable (LT) Bullet Drop Compensation II-Ballistic (BDC II-B) elevation turret with Sub-Zero Clicks (SZC)
The BDC II-B turret gives the hunter the fastest and most precise turret dialing solution. The turret is similar to the BDC II but allows the operator to easily set-up their own calibrated turret according to the user specified ballistic coefficient. The BDC II-B turret provides 6 position indicators
