I saw this quote by Lowlight in the BEAST thread and wondered what the latest on Premier was, but didn't want to derail the thread. LL said:
That pretty much confirms what a buddy of mine experienced with two of his Premier 5-25x. They were beautiful scopes but he sent both back to get replaced and finally sold the 3rd. That turned me off to ever considering a PR scope. However, ILya's great article on high end rifle scopes really highlighted the Premier as one of the best all around. So I wondered if the company solved that known issue and was not having any problems now. Anyone know the skinny on them?

I have also gone down the line with dozens of people using the Premier's where the rings have bound the parallax adjustment (A known issue) and found more than half of the owners didn't realize their parallax was bound... all of them were happy too... until you show them the parallax is actually not working. Generally you can find that happy owner with the scope for sale shortly after.
