I will not buy nor recommend a Premier to anyone after the treated another vendor that has promoted them heavily for years. You can find threads about it on Snipers Hide. Why anyone would spend money with a company that is run like that is beyond me.
That being said, you can get a S&B for a similar price, from a company that doesn't pull that crap, and makes what many people think is a better scope anyway. That's the way I'd go if I was going to drop that kind of money. The new SS 5-20 though is getting rave reviews, and I think I'd rather save the money and get one of them that from what I've read, aren't find behind many of the scopes in the 3k price range, and they are only $1500. I've not had the chance to get one yet, and I really regret not getting in on the group buy, but from what I've seen from everyone else that has one, these seem to be amazing scopes. |

The shooting in the video is at the back of 4000 acres of private land with a locked entrance gate. I also put up signs on each side of the target entrance stating, "LIVE GUN FIRE STAY OUT!". Both targets have a hillside and trees behind them as a backdrop. Got out there shooting yesterday, saw 10 turkeys and a bunch of cottontails. My buddy whistled at me when we were positioning targets and roughly 10 coyotes started yipping and howling about 100 yards from us in the woods! Thought for sure I was going to see a bear as there were blackberries everywhere! Probably there, just hard to see them in the dense forest. We had a great day shooting for mid-July as it was cloudy all day with a high of 70 degrees and winds of 5-10mph.

I'd suggest anyone considering a Premier scope read up on it before making a purchase. It may not bother you what they did, but it bothers me and a heck of a lot of other people, and there is no way I'd do business with a company that operates like that.

Give me a break. Scott got caught once again breaking the rules of the contract he agreed too. That was not the first time or even the first company that got after scott for doing that.

It IS... very nice... and on top of that, the scope is WORTH every penny that it cost...

A BIG +1. And then he went a drug his dirty laundry all over SH. And because he did it first everybody kinda dumped on Premier for doing what everybody else in the industry does...

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

If Premier is the problem then why are we not hearing about it from SWFA as well as other vendors? Edited by Sparky - July/18/2011 at 08:25 |
