Schmidt & Bender 6x42

I bought this a few months ago and the reticle just isn’t for me. I believe it is their A1 reticle, heavy vertical post only with 2 heavy horizontal posts. Good overall shape for an older scope with only some honest wear. Optics clear as any scope I have. I ordered the medium height Rusan rings from Optics-Trade.eu as I didn’t know it had 26mm tube when I bought it instead of 1”. $500 shipped scope and rings.

Do those rings fit a picatinny rail?

They were for weaver bases, which I believe can be used on picatinny rail too.

Grabbed a generic reticle photo off the internet as my attempt at taking one failed. It has this reticle:

Hi,

As well as any good european fixed power scope! I have the same but in 4x36. Great scopes!!
The photo was taken when I received the scope. New old stock! This scopes had steel tubes with many special coats. Love those!
