    Premier Reticles 1.1-8

    Has anyone had any experience with this optic?
    I was looking at the S&B 1.1-9 that was coming out soon and was trying to compare it to Premier Reticles 1.1-8.
    I know both of the scope manufactures make amazing pieces of glass, i was wondering if anyone has gotten a chance to play with Premiers 1.1-8?

    what's going on Rob? hope bonnie is feeling better.
    do you think the glass quality is as good as the S&B? is it a lot bigger than the short dot?
    Thanks brother.

    I don't think either of them have hit the streets yet. The SD 1.1-8 just got put up on the SB DE website, and the Premier isn't even on their site yet.



    I know my 1.1-4 SD is amazing, and Ill be looking to pick up the 1.1-8 later this year.

    Premier 1.1-8x specs

    I have a 3-15x and if that's any indication the glass is at least as good as S&B.

    They are very big/beefy scopes.

    I have a 3-15 too and it is a BEAST. I've looked thru a Leupy 1-8 with the Horus, and it was nice, but I really like the idea of the 1st/2nd fp reddot. To me, you have to have something like this in a 1-8 scope. With a 1st FFP dot, it will be too big at 8x if it is large enough at 1x. 2nd FFP reticles are just not going to cut it for a gun that will be used in hold overs.

    Not a huge fan of the reciticle pics from the Premier link, though I find the Horus a bit busy. Here's hoping Premier with their reticle experience can take us to the next level.

    Can't wait to be able to see them side by side.
