The PM II and Competition riflescopes are offered with various versions of elevation and windage adjustment turrets. The turrets are devided into Gen I and Gen II turrets. Gen I turrets are still state of the art and are proven by police and military units around the world for decades. However, Gen II turrets reflects the ongoing technical and mechanical evolution and therefore incorporates more detailed technical features. All of these options are categorized via an abbreviation system which is explained in the dropdown called “Functions (Abbreviations)”.
Functions (Abbreviations)
MTC = More Tactile Clicks
MTC features a more pronounced click at every tenth click. This function supports faster dialing and better orientation especially if you cannot look at the turret.
ZC = Zero Click
This turret has a more noticeable click on the engraved “0”. This allows a quick return to the “0” position even without looking at the turret.
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.
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
Gen I: The locking action is triggered by pulling up the outer ring of the turret, and it is set by pressing it down again. A lettering “LOCKED” in red appears behind the ring and indicates the locked position.
Gen II: Elevation: DT II+ and MT II incorporates a three-way mode lever which determines either: activated MTC, deactivated MTC and locked turret. With the mode lever pointing towards the barrel’s muzzle, the turret is in the locked position and the mode window at the turret bottom appears in red color. With the lever rotated one position counterclockwise, the turret is unlocked and allows for the More Tactile Clicks (MTC) function which is indicated by the color green in the mode window. With the lever rotated to the final position counterclockwise, the turret is unlocked and bypasses the MTC feature. Now the mode window shows the color black.
ST II and ST II-B incorporates a mode lever which locks or unlocks the turret. When the mode lever is pointing towards the barrels muzzle the mode window at the turret bottom indicates with the color red the locked position. The color green indicates the unlocked position when the mode lever is turned towards the magnification ring.
Windage: ST and DT II+ incorporates a mode lever which locks and unlocks the turret. When the windage turret is unlocked the Zero Click (ZC) is automatically activated. Both windage turrets work basically the same way as the ST II and ST II-B elevation turrets explained above.
