SRGNXL Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Anyone has a Premier Optics 5-25 scope to provide some feedback about it? They seem to have been discontinued for some reason but available from some outlets at a good price. Its for field/tactical rifle so it will be between the Premier, Vortex Razor GenII 4.5-27 or Minox 5-25. The Premier and the Vortex are both available in MOA/MOA config whereas the minox is MIL/MIL only. http://www.lgasupplies.com/premier-optics-5-25x56-tactical/p1 Minox Zp5 5-25 razor GenII 4.5-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Personally,I'd discount the Minox,could be an expensive gamble. There are plenty of reviews of the Vortex and nearly all good and with a lifetime warranty!!!! Heavy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I wouldn’t buy a premier because of the lack of back up if it goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I thought both Minox and Tangent Theta would honour the Premier warranty but I could be out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have never heard that Minox would and Tangent Theta are very picky and it appears to be at their discretion. Or just never ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Id like to have alook through the 5-45 PM11....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Apparently, many people who have owned the Premier hold it in very high regard, especially with respect to quality of glass and tracking. However as already noted, it's no longer in production nor supported. If it breaks, there's no one to fix it. I have no idea if spares are even available for it.

Brummy Mark Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Minox higher ends scopes are absolutely stunning! Amazing optics that were at a sensible price, until recently that was, then they seem to have loaded them by a fair amount. There have been a fair few problems reported with the Vortex scopes, and part of the higher price must be loaded to cover the excellent warranty they offer??? I have had some good use of the the Minox ZP5 TAC 5-25x56 MIl/MIL and the MR2 reticle is lovely in use, the zoom ring is super smooth one finger operation and the glass is pretty damn good with good colour and resolution at lower light levels.

treetop Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi, hope you don't mind, I'm following your thread intently As I'm looking at scopes of similar - but not necessarily price range , some that I want more info on, like :- Delta STRYKER ED , Burris xtr2, Steiner m5xi .. As reviews by users, mainly only happen on YouTube & I suspect that most are sponsored it's like a mine field.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Treetop It is indeed a mine field, your only real option is to get behind the scopes that you fancy and see if your eyes like it. Once you get to a certain level it’s down to what coatings your eyes like. Some scopes that seems ‘bright’ will become wearing after a while. And you cannot trust reviews as a lot of the reviewers get ‘free stuff’ so are a bit, shall we say, biased ?. Also found out recently that scopes you see on high end custom hunting rifles are paid to be there by the scope manufacturer. good luck Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
