[QUOTE="JRu, post: 428963, member: 6837"] The SSG-P pricing is due to scarcity and the fact that it is a very specialiced military scope. It is an improved version of the earlier Hensoldt SSG. Biggest improvements over SSG are adjustable parallax ( hence the P in the model designation ) , increased elevation travel ( from 7 mils to 11 mils, single turn, internal elevation range is naturally greater ) and different laser filter/lens coatings. Main features that differentiate the SSG/-P from other riflescopes are: * Integral quick release picatinny mount. * AA batteries for the illuminated reticle. ( a smart logistics decision for a mil scope IMHO ) * Contains two separate first focal plane reticles, the mil-dot reticle and an index reticle. The index reticle indicates mils of elevation and can be zeroed using a small turret on top of the scope, right in front of the main elevation turret. * All controls except for elevation are on the righthand side of the scope tube: Windage, parallax, rheostat. The biggest downsides to SSG/-P are the lack of elevation for ELR and mounting height. The integral mount is designed to allow the use of night vision equipment. On AR type rifles that often require risers, this is not a problem, but on a bolt rifle, the LOS-bore distance can be 3"+. Also the scope is relatively heavy for a 3-12x , but it should not be forgotten this contains the weight of the integral mount system.
