I can't think of any first focal plane ballistic reticles that resemble a German #4. You may want to look at the Nightforce 3-10 SHV or 2.5-10 NXS. They are second focal plane, but the IHR (International Hunter Reticle) is somewhat like a #4 with center illumination. I have two of them and they work well.
The 3-9x42 SS is first focal plane, but it is not illuminated, and the reticle is not what you describe. 3" of eye relief is less than ideal on a 338 as well.
