Schmidt & Bender P4FL

Drawn to scale from Schmidt & Bender’s own specification sheet, and checked mark by mark by a person. This is the same geometry Harson Ballistics draws your holdover on.

Framed to about 12 MRAD — the part of the reticle you aim with. This reticle carries marks out to 47 MRAD; the rest sits beyond the edge of this drawing.

Drawn from Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co. KG’s published specification.

Subtensions

First focal plane, mrad, from S&B's dimensioned reticle data sheet for this scope (page 2 drawing + lettered coverage table, page 3 views of the field at lowest and highest magnification). Illuminated centre cross, then clear glass to the 1 mrad mark. Windage and upper stadia: 0.4 mrad marks every mrad, 0.2 mrad marks at the half, and from 4.2 to 4.8 a 0.2 mrad fine scale of one-sided 0.1 mrad marks above the horizontal line and right of the vertical. Heavy 0.4 mrad posts with tips 10 mrad apart. Lower stadia marked every 0.5 mrad. Ranging: a 16 mrad bar and four 3 mrad bars above it bracketing a 50 cm target at 500/400/300/200 m. Sheet letters (cm/100 m / 10 = mrad): A 10 post opening, B 0.4 post, C 0.035 line, D 1 and E 0.5 mark spacing, F 0.2, G 0.4 full mark, H 0.2 half mark, K/L/M/N ranging, P 5 to the long bar, R 16 long bar, S 0.07 red line. Long bar at -5, no wide marks. The in/100 yd and mrad rows print P as 18.05 in / 5.01 mrad against the cm row's 50; the cm value (5.00) is used and the drawing measures 5.005. Not lettered on this sheet, so measured from the vector drawing: red cross 1.66 across, fine marks 0.1, bars 0.1. In the lowest-magnification view the lower marks end at 42 mrad and the bare line runs on to the edge of the field (47 mrad), as do the posts.

How this one was checked

Verified 8 Oct 2026 against Schmidt-Bender-Datasheet-P4FL-FFP-4-16x56-PMII-Ultra-Bright.pdf (P4FL.zip), pages 2 and 3. Vector drawing, measured on FILL geometry only (outline strokes dropped, dimension arrows excluded). The record was rasterised the way the app draws it and XOR-compared with page 2 and with page 3's lowest-magnification view; page 2 centre from the red cross (310.30, 379.24), scale from A: post tips 224.4 pt apart -> 22.44 pt/mrad; B post 0.40, C line 0.035, G/H marks 0.40/0.20, D/E spacing 1/0.5, F 0.2 fine spacing, P long bar 5.005 below centre, R 16.01, S red line 0.07, ranging 1.00/1.25/1.67/2.50. Red cross 1.66 and fine mark 0.10 measured (not lettered). XOR at 600 dpi (187 px/mrad): the only page-2 disagreements are one-pixel slivers on three marks. Page 3 (scale refined on R to 2.805 pt/mrad): agrees; the marks stop at 42 and the bare line and posts run to the field edge at 47.0. Fine scale one-sided; no numerals.
