Description

The Schmidt & Bender 5-20×50 PM II Ultra Short LPI TREMOR5 is the shortest fully functional sniper riflescope in its class, designed for tactical use where space is at a premium without compromising long-range capability. Its compact length (~299 mm) and moderate weight (~890 g) make it well-suited for both semi-automatic platforms with short rail systems and heavy-barrel bolt-actions.

Built around a 34 mm main tube and a 50 mm objective, this optic still offers excellent low-light performance and a wide field of view. The TREMOR5 first-focal-plane reticle is illuminated and optimized for range estimation and holdovers at any magnification. The LPI (Illuminated Parallax Integrated) system improves mounting flexibility and ease of parallax correction, and the updated magnification ring accepts modern throw levers for quick zoom adjustments in dynamic scenarios.

The turret configuration combines clockwise rotation with tactile precision:

Elevation: Double-Turn 27 (DT27) with More Tactile Clicks (MTC LT) — allows precise dial-up for long-range engagement.

Windage: Single-Turn (ST) turret with Zero-Click (ZC) and Clear Tracking (CT) for reliable lateral adjustments while retaining zero.
These turrets provide broad internal adjustment ranges suitable for demanding field conditions.

With rugged construction, high transmission optics (~90 %), and reliability proven in military tenders, this riflescope balances compact design with professional performance.
