Schmidt&Bender Klassik illuminated 3-12x42 is similar to 3-12x50 but is more suitable for stalking and mountain hunting than for low light use. It is much more compact and lighter than the same scopes with a 50mm lens. Schmidt&Bender Klassik illuminated riflescopes, with the illuminated reticle feature, are classic riflescopes with variable magnification and robust housing. Because of the illuminated reticle, they are primarily intended for nighttime hunting but not also for daytime hunting with illumination as are Schmidt&Bender Zenith FlashDot riflescopes. The reticle is seated in the first focal plane and will change in size according to magnification. All Schmidt&Bender Klassik illuminated series riflescopes are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen for easy use at low temperatures. All lens surfaces are multi-coated and the construction ensures safe use on even the most powerful hunting rifles. Schmidt&Bender Klassik illuminated riflescopes have a warranty period of 10 years and an additional 20 years guarantee for service and maintenance.
