The Limited Edition Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II in White
At the time of writing, there are only 18 pieces left out of 20 made, making this Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II a true limited edition. You would think that the reincarnation of the legendary Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä would order something like this. In fact, and for once, the initial demand didn’t come from a military contract, but from a long-time customer. It wouldn’t surprise me if all these end up on white-outed Sakos and Tikkas up in the North, close to the Eastern border of Finland.

This particular limited edition uses the P5FL reticle, and the price (in Europe) is around €3,880, including VAT. In case you don’t know, the 5-25x56 PM II model has been the benchmark for high-end optics for over two decades, and in 2011, it won the USSOCOM Precision Sniper Rifle tender.
Recently, Schmidt & Bender released a limited edition of their new 6-36x56 PM II in RAL 7005, similar to the color of the H&K G210 DMR project (mouse grey). I personally prefer the new 6-36x56 PM II over the 5-25x56, and had to get one of those. There’s also been a Coyote M17 TAN version for the C20 DMRs of the Canadian Army, and I managed to snatch one of the surplus ones.
Interested in getting one? Here are the details with the part number, and the S&B “code” that specifies the reticle, click values and direction, as well as the towers.

Point of order-- Häyhä used a bog standard militia-issue SAKO M/28-30 variant of the Mosin-Nagant with iron sights.
...Or a KP/-31 SMG, because that's just how hard he rolled.
