Another option is to buy from a retailer that has a LE/MIL program. I just got a S&B PM II 5-25x56 from Mile High Shooting. I'm not sure how it compares to any S&B direct program, but their LE/MIL discount was significant.
Man in your OP you never mentioned that you already called also you just made it clear that you emailed with no luck I wasn't trying to be a dick, good luck in your endeavors!
