I snagged a Premier Reticle 3-15, so I no longer have a need for this. The scope is NIB / never mounted.

I’m looking to break even on what I paid. The price has continued to climb on EO, so between the price increases and sales tax you should save at least $500 vs. buying one new.

For the scope only (does not include scope caps): $3625 shipped via UPS to the lower 48. If you’d like insurance, I’ll run the difference and add that on top.

For the scope caps: I’ll only offer these to whoever purchases the scope. We can discuss price, I just want to break even, but the front cap wasn’t necessarily cheap / is very tough to find.

No trades at this time. I prefer PP F&F or Zelle for payment. A normal check is also fine, I’d just need to wait for funds to clear prior to shipping. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats on snagging a Premier 3-15, my favorite scope, even though lots of people think they are broken to start.
 
Thanks. I really liked the idea of going with a “lesser known” optic that was still correct for an A5. I heard the parallax turret is prone to issues, so we’ll see how it holds up.

Mine is a ST not that it matters but it does.

I don't even know if my parallax works and it may even "wander" as I fire, still though it hits and is a pleasure to get behind.

Maybe that says more about the rifle than the scope, both together are what I consider my "go to" for classes and when I want to remove "gear" from the variable possibility.

I've been told that some units are still using the 3-15's on their A6's as well as other rifles like the M110's.

There were two parallax knobs. One marked and one not and from I recall reading the unmarked was more problematic. That’s what I have. Also read to torque the badger rings toward the lower end of the spec and you’d never have an issue. I have mine at 15 in lbs. some suggest lower.

I have a premier usmc marked s&b and it took me a lot longer to find the 22mil single turn gen 2 mildot than the s&b. The premier was cheaper by a good bit, though! Most of the premiers I found were either the double turn or the 14mil single turn. GLWS.

Copy that. Mine is unmarked, and I heard that was the one with problem as well. Good to know on the torque spec. That’s solid you found a premier usmc marked S&B. I knew they were floating around out there, but I gave up looking after a couple of years.
 
Back up for sale. Non paying buyer on GB…. $3,600 shipped and insured for the scope (excludes scope caps).
