no, the last number is the diameter of the objective lens. Like the scope on my AK is a 3-9x50 meaning it has adjustable magnification of 3x up to 9x, with a 50mm objective lens. So based on your picture, your lens looks like a 45mm-50mm.

Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 PM II[4] telescopic sight. The Mil-dots can be seen on the cross hairs. By means of a mathematical formula - (width or height of the target/ number of mil of dots) x 1000 = distance - the user can measure the range to a target. An object of 1 meter tall or wide is exactly 1 Mil tall or wide at 1000 meters distance, then i've read that wrong, and alright then.

No problem, yea I'm familiar with the mildot formula, but one piece of information that is missing from that is that the width/height of the target has to be measured in meters in order for the formula to work correctly. They tell you that an object 1 meter tall..blah blah blah, but they don't tell you that the formula REQUIRES measurement in meters lol.
