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!

Re: Premier or Schmidt 5-25/ Horus
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.

Don`t want no Bushnell. Either Premier or Schmidt with either the H-37, H-58, or H-59. Thanks anyway.

USO doesn`t have enough elevation in the turret. Premier and SB have more.

Check Steve at Triad Tactical (when he opens back up). He got me my Premier in less than a week, shipping time included.

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.

There are 2 S&Bs in the optics for sale section with H58s in them. One 4-16 and a 3-20.

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...

Why not get the premier with the gen 2 xr reticle. I have the premier and i could not be happier. Not as much clutter and similar results

Re: Premier or Schmidt 5-25/ Horus
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.

Out of those two choices, I'd go with S&B.
They will definitely be making scopes next year.

Re: Premier or Schmidt 5-25/ Horus
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.

Yea SB is like 9 months out right now I heard. I own an h25 Horus reticled scope and love it! But I'm also quite fond of the h37.
