I'm a Newbie here and i need some thoughts you have about a Schmidt and bender scope.

I Shoot a lot of different distances from 100-1000 yds and i'm looking at buying a new Schmidt and bender scope I had decided to buy a 5-25 PMII
.01 mrad adjustments with D/T and FFP
but then i saw a 12-50x56 PMII with .25cm adjustments multi turn elevation
second hand nearly half the price.
My question is that the windage on the 12-50x56 only has 16cm of adjustments on the wind which at 1000yds means i run out of wind adjustments at 8mph or so. is this right or have i got my sums wrong??
