Schmidt & Bender – German Precision for the Serious UK Hunter
When you’re investing in a lifetime hunting scope, you want one name: Schmidt & Bender. Trusted by professional stalkers, gamekeepers, and elite shooters across the globe, S&B delivers pure optical performance built to handle anything the UK countryside throws your way.
Whether you’re glassing reds on the hill or lining up a tricky woodland shot, Schmidt & Bender scopes offer uncompromising clarity, low-light precision, and bombproof build quality. Their legendary Klassik series is a go-to for traditional stalking—simple, elegant, and endlessly reliable. If you need something with a bit more flexibility, the Polar T96 models offer market-leading light transmission for those twilight moments where lesser optics fail.
For driven hunts and fast target acquisition, the Stratos and Zenith series deliver wide fields of view and lightning-fast reticle focus. And when long-range is on the cards, the Exos 3-21x50 provides incredible tracking and crystal definition at any magnification.
All S&B hunting scopes are designed and handcrafted in Germany with meticulous attention to detail—built to last decades, not seasons. Turrets track true. Reticles stay sharp. And whether you’re shooting in rain, frost, or heat haze, your view stays bright and clear.
Schmidt & Bender isn’t about gimmicks—it’s about trust. When the shot really counts, you’ll be glad you chose S&B.

Schmidt & Bender is a synonym for quality and precision, for tradition and innovation. As early as 1957 the family business engaged in the development, production and optimization of riflescopes that always meet the ever-increasing requirements in this segment.
Since that time a great amount of passion, ingenuity, and a strong awareness for quality, together with close and successful cooperation with the shooters have always contributed towards accomplishing that goal. Thus Schmidt & Bender has become one of the leading suppliers of precision scopes in the world.
