Well....here it is. I'm told it's the first publicly released one in the WORLD
smile.gif


First impression: Crap this thing is heavy, built like a tank heavy, heavy like if someone busts through my office door I'll not hesitate to beat them with it.

Second Impression: Pretty damn cool!! Been turning the knobs, big clunk on every mil to let you know when you've gone 1 mil. Clicks are good, I look forward to tinkering with the latch on top to see how changing it will change the click feel, really glad that it's the 15 mil knob though I've never tried the 22 mil one. It's one beefy scope for sure, everything is supersized. I look forward to getting it mounted and comparing side by side with the S&B 4-16 I've got.

I'm busy at work, sorry I can't do more comparison for you right now and it's raining raining raining....might get it to the range Friday if there's a break in the weather.

Here's a few pics....just to prove it's real. Oh...and I've got the 5-25 Falcon Menace here to try too (I need to make it to the range!)

Don't. The LeverLock has nothing to do with the click feel. Playing with it will do nothing to change the feel of the clicks, and it has to be tight anyway in order for the adjustments to work properly.

Enjoy your new scope!

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

The amount of goop grease on the o-rings can make a difference, though.
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Damn, I’m jealous.
I have one ordered from Scott also, I cant wait until it gets here.

 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Mine should be here April 7th! I can't wait.. darn UPS taking so long to ship from Cali......
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Looks really nice Jason. I like the DT knob alot.
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Veru nice scope J,lucky dude!
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Were you guys contacted by Scott? I have one coming in from him but have not heard anything.

Just emailed him though.
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

I sure like mine. As soon as comp stuff is done i will be sending it in for a double turn. We got a bunch of 34 rings in today so if you have some on order with your new scope Scott will be getting them shortly.

ABOUT TIME!!! I ordered my 5th and 6th pairs in the first week of November!!! I have had to buy two pairs of "other" rings in the meantime!! I'm glad business is good Glen--your gear is worth the wait, but I never thought I'd get two custom builds done before my rings showed up.

If you ordered your 5th and 6th pair of 34mm rings, me thinks you got something else nice in the stable you can shoot while you wait....

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Hey J- I only need 4 pairs, two of the others have since been sold (30mm) and the other 2 are 34 low---I need 34 high!!

Actually, at the moment I have one rifle and 3 scopes and a fourth on the way. 2 new builds should be here next week and the 4th whenever my smith gets around to it!! My glass is VERY lonely.

I've got something that can keep it warm at night, if that's your concern. Just send it on over.

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

I am very interested in this scope as well. Would any of you guys mind posting a photo of either of the reticles on a target at "distance" ?

Thanks,

George

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Alright Jason its been 24hrs since friday whats the report with pics please.Being the first you have a moral responsibility to provide this information in a timely manor.
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

I had concerns about Jason's lack of posting so I called him. He just hasn't had a chance to work the scope out yet.

I'm confident the scope will be quite satisfying to every enduser.

Scott

 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

Well guys, Jasonk's optic is headed to the range tomorrow... on my rig!
laugh.gif


I was talking with Jason about what he liked and disliked about the Heritage, and he basically said... hell, if you want to give it a whirl just say the word and I'll have it on the way. Just cover shipping both ways.

I've met handful of great dudes here on the hide, and JK is definitely one of them. Not many people would mail out a $2k optic to someone they've never even officially met. J knows I'm a staunch S&B fan, so he really wanted to know what I thought of the Premier.

Anyway, it's mounted up and headed to the range first thing in the morning. Zero at 100yds on paper, then hopefully we can stretch out the legs a bit to at least 1000yds on steel.

The rig is a suppressed Surgeon XL Remedy .338LM.

Big thanks to Jason K!

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

The worst part is....it looks better on your rifle than mine

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: livetohunt</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So what do you think so far?????? </div></div>

Well, about the only thing I've learned so far is that on a heavy barreled rig like this, in Seekins LOW rings, the objective cap will not clear. So it had to be removed.

The glass looks great, edge to edge. The clicks are spaced closely, but feel pretty good. I like the heavier click at every 1.0mil. The GenII reticle subtends less than I originally thought it would. I thought it would be too thick, to the point of being a hindrance even... it's definitely not. Not much else I can say until I get some time behind it tomorrow and Sunday.

Right on!! We love field data.

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

I'm (im)patiently waiting on my Heritage, so I definitely can't wait to hear more field reports for users.

or you could just send me the scope, rifle, and ammo and I'll be happy to report back

Fair enough....you don't even have to ship it back, I'd drive to WY to pickup that package!

Scope and rifle will be no problem, but I'm not sure there will be much ammo left. I just finished loading up 60 more rounds to make sure I don't run short, as I'm sure Jason won't let me keep this optic forever
laugh.gif


Web_RD_2355.jpg


If anyone's interested in the load data:

.338LM
300gr SMK
96.0gr Retumbo
CCI 250 Mag Primer
3.620" Cart. OAL
New Brass
Avg velocity 2927fps. This is avg of just 10 chrono'd rounds last time out. Seems fast, but only a slight ejector mark, and no other signs of pressure at all. Elevation is 6500'asl.

Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

So one thing I would love to see confirmed with the field data is Heritage's FOV. Premier is claiming 12.4m to 2.6m at a 100 meter distance which is a huge improvement over the competition! S&B's 3-12x50 has verified 10.2m-3.1m while the USO SN3 3.2-17x44 has verified 7.7m-2.5m of range. This alone would make this scope the one to look for!

Any chance you can check this out? Perhaps a long measuring tape should accommodate you to the range! ;>
 
Re: IT'S HERE!! Premier 3-15 Double Turn

On scopes with a variation of the GenII reticle it is real easy to determine the field of view, you just have to count the additional 5 MIL or 2.5 MIL hash marks all the way to the edge of the FOV at any particular magnification setting and estimate the balance. It is as easy as milling a target. I see more like 12.6m on low power in the 3-15x.
