Any word on when the new Hensoldt 3.5-28x56mm from S.H.O.T will become available? Any word on price point?

I don't think there's anything official yet, but I've heard Nov/Dec this year for about USD$4000

I've heard the same but, at like $4,500!

I called a hide vendor this week, they told me 2Q at the earliest. I also inquired about the 4-16 with the upgraded turrets and was told first quarter 2013.

Locking single turn 14.5 mil elev. turret with zero stop.
Locking windage turret as well.
 
Re: Hensoldt 3.5-28x56mm

Actually, it has two 18 mil revolutions in the turret, so 36 mils of elevation overall. This is what I find most impressive about it as my S&B 5-25 tops out around 25 mils. I hope they end up doing a 5-36x version down the road.

Unfortunately, if it ends up going for $4500 it will be hard to justify. At that point you might as well splurge on an SN-9 and it's 230MOA of elevation.

The SN9 is almost 2.5 ft long! There is a huge difference in physical size between the Henny and USO. I would still stick with Hensoldt for that reason alone.
