I have looked the country over and can`t find either. Does anybody know where one is for sale? I also put this in the WTB section but nothing so far. I prefer brand new or one that looks almost new. Help!

What Horus reticle you looking for? I know you may not consider it in the same league, but the Bushnell HDMR with the H59 is a heck of a scope. There are posts upon posts on here about them.

They're about 1/2 the price of the ones you mentioned or so, but pretty easy to come across.

I'll check around see if i run across any locally, but just trying to give you some options.

I bought the last three Premiers they had in stock about 4 months ago with Horus reticle from the factory. They told me none will be available until 2013.

I know USO makes a 5-25 long travel EREK knob that will move 100 MOA. The premier and SB longtravel only move 100 moa as well correct? I may be wrong...

I have shot the Horus reticles for about 5 years and have shot out to over 2400yds. I really like H reticles. I have taught alot of younger kids and shooters how to shoot long range. It`s easier to tell shooter to come down to line whatever versus dialing. I do have scopes that require dialing (March, Nightforce, Loopy, Weaver, and anyway I just like Horus reticles better than anything going. Plus faster second shot recovery having the grid.

They are both great scopes. Problem is it takes forever to get them. Either one will work. I was told today by Ted at Premier that they have no scopes available until middle of 2013. Schmidt Bender won`t be available until around Dec-Jan. What a joke.
