Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender LP

[DeSnifter]

This is probably a stupid question but I searched here and Google and could not find the answer. What does the LP stand for in the designation of the Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25x56mm LP CCW - H2CMR Model?

 

[Turk]

Lit reticle.

 

[One-Eyed Jack]

I believe L = lit reticle, and P = parallax adjustment (side focus).

Translated from German

L = Leicht = Illumination or light
P = Parallaxe = parallax

"Lit" is a past tense and past participle of the word "light".
I would only use that term after your battery has expired or the illumination has been deactivated.

Excellent, thank you everyone!
