Premier Reticles 1.1-8 (UPDATE pg. 3, Oct 21)

[Looey]

I'm still waiting on my mount to come.
I didn't feel good with ordering the mount before I could compare it's dimensions against mounts and optics I had on hand, and I couldn't use any of the mounts I already own as they are all 30mm and the PR is 34mm.

Believe me, I'm chomping at the bit too.

DUDE!!! I got mine in also, and i couldnt agree more with you initial review. if you dont mind me asking, what are you using for a mount? I taught about a Larue but i think that i am going to get a ADM mount.

Looey

[Artos]

and the 34mm tube looks robust enough to be used as a breaching device.

sorry to hijack but does anyone offer an off the shelf 34mm lapping tool for those monster rings?? Had a call today and did a little looking but appears they may have to have one made from bar stock.

thanks...

Also, I got to fondle my first Premier and was impressed with the glass...it was higher magnification but liked the zero stop / knob adjustment set up better than the NF. I was informed that they are getting their lenses from the same supplier as S&B but will say again that is hearsay.

I hope he does well & was not even aware the son continued the biz to this extent after his father passed away. I have a vintage 6.5-20 leupy bumped to 18-40 on my 6BR

Bad news, the LaRue SPR is too long to fit between the erector housing and the occular bell by about 4 mm.
Guess it's off to the SPR-E.

I'm surprised that PR didn't work with Larue or ADM to make a custom mount. With that odd form factor, it would be a good move, I think.

Love my PR 3-15. Looking forward to hearing both of your reviews.

I feel like the only one on M4C that hasn't been offered a 1-8 for trial testing.

Can't wait to hear the review. Of all the 1-8x I saw at SHOT, the Premier was the only one that made me say "WOW!" I was slightly disappointed with the S&B and hugely disappointed with the Leupold.

Sorry if I gave the impression that this was given to me.
I bought it out of pocket because I was interested in it and wanted one. I am writing the review only because it is a new product, very expensive, difficult to get ahold of, and a bit of interest.

F2S, I'm not exactly sure what you from your description. Do you mean the measurement from inside ring to inside ring on the SPR isn't wide enough? If so, is the SPR-E wider? I thought it was the same size, just cantilevered further forward.

Any new updates?

Putting the SPR mount fore/aft of the erector might put the whole scope too far backwards to get proper eye relief on the receiver. It might require mounting it on the handguards and receiver, something I have heard is frowned upon, although have no experience with myself.

Does anyone know if there is a technical reason or advantage to how far forward they place the erector assembly?
