Are they out of business? Any other options out there for custom dot reticles? ****************************************************************** R.

From what I know they are not out of business. I do hear that they will not work on Leupold products though. Yeah there are a couple of other options. TK Lee is one of the first ways I would look. I understand they are doing the same type of thing. Also if you are using a Leupold product they ahve a couple of ways to help you with putting in range dots as well. Mark D | |||

If they no longer work on Leupolds then what are they in business to do. My understanding is that in the past they would only work on Leupold scopes. I noticed that the founder died, and Leupold offers a custom reticle from the factory...these two things together make me wonder if they are closing shop. Cynrays...I live in NW Arkansas and yes I have seen your thread. Go kill that cat! ****************************************************************** R.

i believe that premier has been tied up in govt. contracts so deeply that they can't work on anything else. Try t.k. lee | |||

Butchloc, I got a response from the folks at premier confirming your post. I guess they are building a lot of SB scopes for the USMC. The part about TK lee that bothers me is their lack of warranty. Priemier work did not void Leupolds warranty. Looking at TK's web page, they all but tell you if the scope needs any repair work...they will not do it! ****************************************************************** R.

Check out Leupold's custom shop, they may be able to install the reticle that you want in your Leupold scope.http://www.leupold.com/resources/custom_shop/custom_shop.htm NRA Patron Life Member | |||

I recently read an Article in a gun rag(not sure which one) They stated that the Marines had Choosen S&B scopes to replace the Uretels they where using and Premier was installing custom Mil Dot Reticles. | |||

I dont think Leupold will do custom dots. My understanding is they adjust their B&C reticle to your supplied ballistics. Not a bad option but you are limited to 500 yard lines. ****************************************************************** R.

Just wait a bit. When the USMC contract is finished they will go back to working on Leupolds. LD  | |||

Roscoe, look at their web site. From the quote below, I believe that they are stating that they do make custom reticles with dots placed as you wish. The illustration associated with this quote also seems to show such a reticle. "Custom Ballistically-Matched Reticles At the Leupold Custom Shop, we put 50 plus years of scopesmithing experience to work, building a personalized, digitally mastered reticle from our custom reticle library, for the long distance shooter. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology the scope and reticle are perfectly tuned to your rifle’s ballistic performance. The result is a custom, long distance shooting system with astonishing accuracy. You simply provide us with the ballistic coefficient and velocity, or alternately, the specific factory load you are using, and the Custom Shop will do the rest." NRA Patron Life Member | |||

I have several LEU scopes w/ Premier Reticle's installed reticles. They are excellent. I contacted them to install a reticle shortly after the owners death. I was told then that they were not taking on any new work at that time because they had fallen numerous months behind. They may have stated 8 or 9 months, I'm unsure. I had the impression then that they were still going strong as always but just needed to catch up. Gary | |||

I will tell you what happend. Premier and Leupold was in partnership together for almost 50 years. Premier helped Leupold get where they are today, and when the owner of Premier died, Leupold backstabed them, and cut of all their supply of parts for building custom scopes. Premier is one of the best optics companies in the US, shown, why they got the deal with the USMC and Schmidt & Bender. Schmidt & Bender knows Premier is a very god company. Premier helped Leupold secure the deal with the US Army (10x) scopes, helped them win the Benchrest crowd, provided valuable optics help, and where in return backstabed by Leupold. You might remember the TMR reticle Leupold is making, wich they got by stepping over Premiers patented Mil-dot II, with help from the goverment, because they did not want to pay premier for their royalties with the reticle. | |||

Wholly shit what a pissing contest. You notice in the snipershide thread, nobody argued with "factual content" to disprove anything that cat guy had to say. Guess I dont have to worry about it since I do not own any Leupolds. But, if I were to purchase another scope, I would save up for a S&B or a US optics. Hell, the Super Sniper takes a beatin from my 375 and keeps on tickin, I might just buy another of those.  | |||
