    Hi, thanks for the interest. My name is Jayson Prenter and we (my family) have a small business distributing Premier scopes for NZ. This is a new venture and you will soon see our company name on the ATI website, hopefully this will be updated soon. I've posted a price for the Light Tactical under the commedical advertisers part of the forum. Thanks again.

    I have 2 Premiers , both the heavier Tac models , 3-15x50 & 5-25x56mm.

    They are not bad scopes , BUT I donot like the MTC function that much ( I thought I would like the MTC , opps ) , as its hard full click on every full mil , makes it a bit harder to say set a value close to a full mil , ie 1.1 mil , as the soft click of the 0.1 gets drowned out by the heavy full mil click/detent .

    I thought I would like the camlock/tooless zeroing feature , BUT in reality , I donot .
    You also have to get use to IT the turret still clicking , when you slip the knobs , not a biggie , but need to be aware of IT , as its totally different from any other scope .
    They are well made scopes , I like the reticles , I have the XR fine reticle , be aware that most Premiers have CCW ( counterclockwise turn knobs ) , but I think you can order them with CW direction as well.
    As far as I know you can get them with moa/moa or mil/mil , knobs/reticle .
    Also most full tacs have a indicated double turn knob , BUt they also have a single turn 22 mil knob thats a neat option .

    The glass is as good as a S&B PMII , be aware that Premiers have had issues/troubles , change of ownership etc , and in the US they are unsure if the company will last ( so some in the US are concerned they will not be repairable If the company folds up shop ) , the scopes are made in Germany as far as I know .

    The other known issue , is to do with parallex , stopping / seizing up , ie not working , which is what happened to my 3-15x50 recently at a shoot ( Brian ) .

    ALL in all , I am happier using my S&B PMIIs , still the gold standard for me at the moment .

    Hope that helps , these are my experiences with Premier Tac scopes .

    Later Chris
    The other

    Thanx for the feedback Chris. I own a few different brands of scopes leupold, nightforce and S&B and they are all great. Each one has differences and advantages over the other.

    I understand some of the earlier production models has some problems with the MTC on the turrets and parallex but this has been corrected. I don't know if you have an early production model, however I hope the warranty covered this. Let me know if I can help you out there. As with most ambitious new designs there are teething problems, but hopefully now in the past.

    I like the cam locking feature for multiple zeros on different rifles or multi-caliber rifles.

    Premiers are selling very well overseas so can't see a problem with the company not lasting.

    Anyway thanks again for your feedback, that's what a forum is for.

    Cheers

    But you couldn't possibly shoot S&B now though, what would the punters think

    I will tell you what, my 5-25x56 is quite at home on my SR, so I will help you out of the bind and put yours on the TAC 2

    Sounds like you're in the market for another scope? Pay me a visit sometime out at the range, I'll make you a cup of coffee then we will compare/shoot with both scopes. Should be an interesting day out for ya!
