Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Schmidt Bender P3L reticle

Any experience with the P3L illuminated mildot FFP reticle in the Klassik series? Curious how it performs in low light and using the dots for hold overs? Looking on paper I wish the dots were a little closer and sometimes FFP isn’t as bold at lower powers/low light

I have a 3-12x42 mounted on my Sako 300 win mag… at 3x it makes a great duplex reticle.. at 6x it becomes mildot friendly. I did have the service department add the external elevation cap. Provides for 3.5 mils elevation over a 200 yard zero.

I use a couple of them. One has the BDC dial that rgrx1276 mentioned. I need to send the second one in to have it added. I really like the P3L reticle. As mentioned, it's a nice duplex at low powers and details show up as mag increases. I like that only the inner plex is illuminated...would prefer only a dot but it's much better than having the entire mildot area illuminated. The illumination is low enough that it doesn't wash out the image in low light. It's a well designed FFP hunting reticle in a good scope package.

Agree with Jay's comments above. I have the 3-12x50 with P3L reticle and it's great for deer hunting.
