I'm getting ready to purchase a Premier scope next week. Any chance Premier will be making changes to their scopes next year? I don't really want to purchase a 3K scope to find out 3 months later it's already outdated. Should I wait until after the SHOT show?
 
Re: scope purchase

I don't think you'll have much to worry about. If Premier decides to revamp their existing scopes soon I would bet they'll offer free or cheap upgrades to the ones people already own. I think they did something like that a while ago. Also, if you do buy one and it somehow becomes outdated, you should be able to sell it for darn near what you paid for it.

You could always call or email Premier and try asking them that. It never hurts to ask questions.
 
Re: scope purchase

I am in this same boat. I will likely purchase a S&B 5-25 next week but am wondering if NF will release a higher magnification FFP scope.

I believe Premier is introducing a MOA/MOA scope. Haven't heard any other rumors. SHOT is only three weeks away so it may be worth waiting.
 
Re: scope purchase

We do not see Premier offering anything new. They are now offering MOA turrets with the MOA RET in the 5-25x56mm. PRH has come out with there New Turrets.


If we can be of help in getting any optic feel free to ask.

This video show a scope with the older turrets and again they changed them.

Re: scope purchase

Thanks for the clarification Mike,

I emailed you last week regarding the 5x25 PH with the badger rings. I will be sending you a check this week.
