Don’t touch one.
They’re not exactly the pinnacle of reliability and if something goes wrong there’s zero warranty and no parts so you’re left with a paper weight.

Premier... who listened to their college puke marketing advisors and thought that charging a huge price for a mediocre scope and being asses about the price would make people "perceive them as being a top tier scope". Their crash couldn't have happened to a more richly deserving company.
There are to many other good scopes to get that you don’t have to risk getting stuck with a boat anchor
If the scope falls under the ones Armament Tech will handle you should be okay. I bought a used Heritage 3-15x several years ago off the PX, did good for me. Last year I sent it in for a going over prior to selling it, they said it needed parts that were no longer available. For $1200 they upgraded me to a TT525P.
The premier glass is still pretty good. Mine constantly outperforms the Nightforce in low light or darkness for my eyes. I honestly haven’t had any issues. The main issue is do you wanna risk your hard earned cash on something without a possible warranty. I would think not and in fact even though I know the tangent theta is probably a good product with a good warranty. They should have let premier die and not have made half assed marketing promises with tons of rules to grab customers. That in my opinion is a big part of buying a expensive scope. Their are just to many other good options to risk your cash on a used premier. This where Nightforce, vortex, and Leupold, maybe other brands do a better job. If you are a collector or a soldier that used one in the marines I understand picking up a used premier to finish a clone build. I have a LT so no collector value on my premier so I will just use it til breaks. So far while I have seen the parallax issue it still works and hasn’t cost me at a match.
