I play a Fender bass, I shoot a springer. I like things to be, well, dependable
Mine just unscrewed quite easily. Bringing the lens forward did the trick. In fact you could actually keep turning it and using it to parallax right down to a few yards. Sadly not accurately enough to range with.
No, don't have the fwb any more. It just got a bit heavy for me to lug about and I prefered it to be used than sat doing nothing. Can you remember that Herman Wierauch's buddy fancied it? I forget his name. I did have tne s&b on it. I also let that Hudson bloke loose with it. He did a full strip and service abd fitted a new one piece spring. We got it to do 8fpe. I used to go round the ft course at ponty with it and did reasonably well considering the low power, the mag, the reticule, and a consumste lack of skill on my part.
I have a 4-16x50 PMII on my TRG22.
Lovely piece of kit (both of them are). I switched over from my Nightforce - both are built like bricks and do their job but the Schmidt has better light transmission. The only down side of the Schmidt is that I was never worried about knocking the Nightforce in the way that I am protective over the Schmidt.
I got mine just before all the prices went up due to Gordon Brown mismanaging the economy, so second hand it is worth more than I paid for it new That said, it is an investment in pleasure and life more than in finance so it is staying with me for the moment!
I own some scopes. Among them: Nightforce (12-42X56 Precision Benchrest), Zeiss (Duralyt 3-12X50) and Schmidt & Bender (PMII 5-25X56). The S&B is by far the best.

BTW: There's a new S&B. It's called: 3-27X56 PMII High Power.

I've used s+b scopes on my stalking rifles for about 15+years and can honestly say I wouldn't use anything else.
I have the fixed mag ones like 6x42 and 8x56. They are bomb proof as was proved one night when I dropped my rifle on the floor landing on the scope. Just a couple of little marks were all that were there.
