The Schmidt & Bender warranty is limited to two years (PM II) or ten years (hunting lines). This post is a list of all Schmidt & Bender rifle scopes on a single page, with available reticles, street prices, features, and links to official product pages, merchants, and reviews. The stock is not pillar bedded, which makes it somewhat more susceptible to weather changes.Ī bipod and suppressor can be fitted as needed.Schmidt & Bender is widely considered the benchmark for “alpha-tier” rifle scopes. It has a better and stronger laminated and weatherproofed beech stock, and an American-made heavy contour barrel (diameter 21mm) with a permanent front sight, and a flash suppressor from the AG-3 service rifle. The system is very capable and effective and has been serving in the Norwegian army since 1988.Īn improved model, the NM149-F1, has since been developed and produced. The rifles were given the serial numbers of the Schmidt & Bender 6x42 telescopic sight to make a matching pair. They can also be removed entirely, and replaced with a mount allowing the use of most NATO-compatible night vision devices. The standard telescopic sight for the Norwegian military and police is a Schmidt & Bender 6x42, but the scope rings are basically NATO standard, and can be removed and replaced with rings which allow the mounting of other Western telescopic sights. The rifles have an easily adjustable match quality trigger, but come from the factory with a pull weight of only 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs).

There was a problem with the early versions of the stock cracking, but that problem has since been solved. The NM149 stock is laminated beech veneer, pillar bedded and is adjustable for length of pull via a spacer system, the barrel is a German made cold-hammered barrel with 4 grooves right hand twist, of heavy contour and the system shoots very well.



The NM149 replaced the Kongsberg M59F1 in the Norwegian Army. It is used by both the Norwegian military and police forces, though it was originally designed at the request of the Norwegian Army. These actions originate from Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles left by German armed forces in Norway at the end of World War II in 1945. The NM149 sniper rifle was developed by Våpensmia A/S in close cooperation with the Norwegian Army and is based on the tried and true Mauser M98 controlled feed bolt action.
