Schmidt & Bender Reticule Comparision?

[Strangely Brown]

I'm currently looking at buying a S&B 3~20x50 (not the ultra short one) and have looked at one with a P3L reticule, which I was told was very similiar to a P4L fine.

 

Not having both reticules side by side, my memory of the P4L fine was one of a much finer reticule? In fact I was surprised how thick the P3L reticule was.

 

Is there anybody on here with experience of both, I'm pretty certain my mind is made up on a P4L fine but wanted some assurance?

Hi Mick

I have used both personally i would go with the P4l fine as i found the P3 to be a little too chunky for my liking.

Thanks Stuart!

 

I think you probably knew it was mainly for McQueens, my assumption is that you did better than me yesterday.

I had one of my better days yesterday.

Another option reticle wise but only available on the 12-50 PMII is the sport reticle i find it ideal as the aiming dot sits nicely in the V ring of the mcqueen target. If you would like to a look at either the P4 fine or the sport reticle drop me a pm.

Having had both I would second P4 fine. The p3 is too thick.

Mick, I have both reticles in the 5-25x56 that I can bring along to Bisley for you to compare next time you are there, if that's any help?

Thanks Roy, Et al,

 

I now have a 3-20x50 on order and have gone with the P4L fine.

Thank for the heads up Lee, I'll stick with the P4L fine as I have used it.
