~24 oz, 30mm, 42mm objective. Could have been really good if they made if FFP with a basic mildot/mildot Gen II reticle....or some measured version of a hunting reticle. SFP and a non-measured reticle for windage hurts so bad.....


+1 on your assessment.

The 3-12 Klassik has a great FFP reticle for big game hunting. Little limited on erector travel, but, depending on your distance needs and the specifics of the bullet you're sending, it can be enough.

I was recently admonished on another thread on this forum for implying that a hunter centric, lower X scope should be offered in an FFP variant. Was a reminder that, for many, FFP's are best suited to a realm that doesn't include big game hunting

Yeah, I use a BDC on a 6x Klassic and it's workable. 6x PMII is a big improvement.

I've been using a 3-12 Klassik P3 a fair bit the last several months. Need to send it in for the BDC. 3.2 mils is not much...but running the numbers, even if using a fairly low BC bullet at medium speed with a 100 yard zero it will get to 500. 200 yard zero and better BC improves that. I'd certainly like more travel, but for hunting I can live with it.
