Description

The Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short LP P4FL is engineered for precision engagement in a streamlined form factor. Despite its compact length (≈343 mm) and moderate weight (~940 g), this optic delivers a powerful 6.7× zoom range covering 3× to 20× magnification, suitable for both mid-range and extended-range shots. The 50 mm objective balances light gathering with compact size, providing excellent optical clarity and roughly ~90 % transmission even in challenging light conditions.

The P4FL reticle resides in the first focal plane (FFP) and is illuminated across several brightness settings, so reticle subtensions remain consistent and functional at all magnification levels — a key requirement for ranging, holdovers, and rapid follow-up precision. Parallax compensation via side focus improves accuracy at different distances, and the wide field of view at lower magnification enhances situational awareness.

Tactical turrets are thoughtfully designed:

Elevation: Clockwise DT35 turret offers 35 mrad of adjustment with MTC LT (More Tactile Clicks and lockable) for precise, positive dialing.

Windage: ST turret provides ±6 mrad lateral correction with secure adjustment and windage control.

A 0.1 mrad (1 cm @ 100 m) click value ensures fine control over adjustments — ideal for competition or field precision work. Rugged construction and Schmidt & Bender’s sealing make this optic waterproof and fogproof, suited for demanding operating conditions where reliability and performance are paramount.
