Premier Reticles 1.1-8

[Looey]

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.

this is going to be hard!! I have the S&B short dot with the CQB reticle and love it.

the Premier Reticle 1.1-8 is out already

So I've been doing a lot of reading lately about FFP and SFP, the differences, and pros and cons of each in different scenarios. The idea of the reticle being in both focal planes and changing based on magnification just hurts my head to think about though. I looked at Premier Reticles pdf's but it didn't go in to much depth on how this works. Do you guys know of any other good documentation on how this works or can one of you perhaps explain it in a way that doesn't cause my brain to start bleeding? Thanks

Are you sure that these are actually in stock? My sources tell me to expect September - November time frame.
