Maybe a group buy is in order?

I am in but it seems everyone is on board with these things until it is time to cut the check.
Jason mentioned that he would entertain a small group buy but he would need half down, non refundable, before he places the order.
I understand that nobody wants to get stuck with thousands of dollars of hard to move goods in the event that people start backing out.
He is willing to give a decent price too.

I think you'll have to let everyone know what the "decent price" is before you get any takers.
I've used an older one and didn't much care for the eye relief. I know they increased it on their variables, but think the Fixed still runs 3.27

The price from Germany was quoted as the same as the 10x42 PMII. Euro-Optic retails that scope for $2099 but conceded that they would order and sell me the 6x42 PMII for around $1900ish. That was the unofficial price for one scope. Again, part numbers need to be made and the dealer will need to communicate with the OEM to confirm their dealer price. We did not discuss specific discounts of a group buy... but they are interested in making a quick buck by selling a few scopes.

I used 3.14 short eye relief variables for years and got buy. Once they came out with 3.75 I switched over and never looked back.Even sold two of the older variables just to get rid of that short eye relief. This scope that talking about. Would it have the same tube as the 10x42?Pretty sure a 10x42 is a bigger scope than a 6x42.Just wondered. dave
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Well I have been in contact with multiple US based dealers and the factory in Germany.
There have been some changes in the information that I initially received from the factory.
*The S&B 6x42 PMII is available with a P3 or Police reticle only. The P3 and Police reticles subtend almost identicle to each other. (P3 = Mil-Dot OR Police = Mil-Dot with stadia lines.)
*The P4 and P4F are NOT available in this configuration as I was previously led to believe.
*The PMII turrets only come in standard 1/10 mil clicks. (MOA based turrets could be available but it would be Hunter style turrets not PMII style.)
Part numbers are as follows:
6x42 PMII w/ P3 reticle and 1/10 mil PMII turrets is: 832-811-862-73-94
6x42 PMII w/ POLICE reticle and 1/10 mil PMII turrets is: 832-811-812-73-94
The dealer price for the 6x42 PMII scopes described above is still the same as the standard 10x42 PMII.

He is willing to give a decent price too. That's the way I'd do it as well. I'd love to get in on it but I'm on a medical LOA and no steady income. I've always wanted to try an S&B scope but even the used ones are out of my price range usually.

If you are referring to the turret then yes that should be the standard as 10x42 has 13 mil per revolution. FAWC 13 mil is enough to get me to 1000 meters with a 200 partition from a .30-06

Any updates??
I sent an email to S&B about this, and never got a reply.

Still intend on placing my order but the project got put on hold for a bit while I am overseas.
Don't know about the other folks that were interested.

Don't know about the other folks that were interested. I have a 1.5-6x42 Police Sniper model with strange turrets. 1 click from 100 gives me 300 3 clicks gives me 400 + 3 inches. The reticle is a modified #4 with windage hashes. I'll never part with it. For deer hunting in Minnesota. it's the best scope I have ever looked through. You're going to love yours when you get it.
