[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 222467, member: 319"] Brand, Premier Reticles. They're the guys who used to modify Leupolds--swapping reticles, knobs, boosting power, etc. They patented the Gen II reticle a while back. I actually mailed one of my Leupolds to them to be upgraded to the FFP Gen II reticle years ago. Unfortunately they were out of stock at the time or I'd probably still be using that scope now and have a lot more $ in my pocket.... :( After splitting with Leupold they won the USMC Day Sniper scope contract which is the current S&B with their reticle and modified knobs (exactly like my current one) and became the US S&B service center. The scope is a 3-15X50, with the Gen II reticle. 22 Mils elevation adjustment in a single turn of the knob in .1 Mil clicks with zero stop. Illumination control [I]properly[/I] integrated into the sidefocus knob. I think provisions to lock the turrets. And the glass is supposed to be a good shot better than S&B. Well, that's the claim anyway, I'll have to see what my eyeball thinks. Every single mechanical part 100% made in the USA. The "best glass available to the optics industry" doesn't come from the US, but that's the only part. Unfortunately there's no link with info on it at the moment; right now you can call and discuss it with them if interested. I saw preliminary drawings of it a while back and wish I had saved them but wasn't interested at the time and they've since been taken down. Within a month or so, you should see pics and all the info you want. So hell, if it's even 1/2 as good as they say it will be it should be pretty good. ;) The guy I talked to wasn't a salesman so he didn't know the exact details but they're going to have some sort of 30 day return policy...and it's actually a bit cheaper than a new S&B.... So I figure what the hell, might as well check one out and see if I like it. If I'm going to spend this much money on a scope I'm going to be picky and find something I [I]really[/I] like. [/QUOTE]
