The Premier Reticles Heritage
5-25x56 Tactical Scope by Chris Parkin
then using a small Allen key to remove and re-zero the turret, all you do is flip up the lever and rotate the knobs back to zero and then latch them back down. That sounds simple and it is but, what seems unnerving is that when you do this, although the reticule isn’t moving, the turrets still ‘click’ as normal. It is a little leap of faith to be sure you have used the lever to correctly disengage the turret. Some will like it, some will not and, I for one certainly re-checked my zero after their use and although sceptical, I was not let down.
Staight onto the plate
With a 34mm main tube, the Premier’s Heritage fitted easily into a Third Eye tactical Unimount onto my 308 Remmy 700. The benefits of the mil-dot system coupled with FFP reticules were immediately obvious with a three-shot zeroing session and one extra shot - to check those unusual `clicks`. Then, I went straight into a head to head steel plate match at 400 yards with both turrets dialled straight into zero at that range.
The click values for such a quick test perfectly matched my range card using known data on my bullet and that was enough to tell me these click values are accurate. I find fast, competitive shooting is a good test of optics as it forces your eyes to work very quickly, both acquiring targets and focusing on the relevant reticle and target images. Poor optics flag up here with extra ocular effort required and I am pleased to say, my eyes had no room for complaint.
