You're going to be waiting awhile, our biggest problem with these is keeping them in stock. The only time we ever put the Platinum scopes on sale is when we are discontinuing a model, like we did with the older 1-8x24FFP ACSS this year. I'm working on year four here at PA and that's the only time I've ever seen the Platinum scopes at a discounted rate.
They can't build them fast enough for us to keep them in stock all the time as it is, so there isn't much incentive to lower the price, when they are already competing with other brands wanting $1500+ for a scope with similar specifications.
The best way to get any kind of deal on these is to watch Optics Planet and hope they run a blanket coupon code that applies to everything on the site, and zap 'em with that. Happens maybe once or twice a year.
