Winchester, VA. - Premier proudly announces the beginning of the CQB revolution with the introduction of new V8™ series tactical riflescope! This US built tactical riflescope features sophisticated German design and functionality in addition to unsurpassed European optical quality and performance.
"This scope represents the culmination of more than 63 years of experience providing custom sighting options for the tactical shooter in addition to their combined requests of today for a CQB scope designed to fit their needs" said Premier Reticles' president, Chris Thomas. "Instead of the typical approach of most other optics manufacturers of modifying existing hunting products to kind of meet the tactical shooters needs, which requires them to settle for something less than adequate in most cases, we strive to build a product designed expressly for the specific task and need at hand!"
The V8 1.1-8x24 offers an 8x ratio magnification and field of view. It also boasts an innovative two focal plane (reticle & red dot) sighting system that makes engaging targets from 5ft to 500 yards as simple as a turn of the power selector and all without additional sighting devices or leaving a good shooting position. The automatic transition from long-range 1st focal plane illuminated Gen 2 CQB reticle to 2nd focal plane projected red dot takes place in the blink of an eye when the magnification selector is adjusted down below 3x. This Functionality allows the shooter to engage targets with both eyes open from 5ft to 50 yards on settings 1.1 to 3x or in traditional longer range shooting style from 50 to 500 yards when set from 3 to 8x.
The V8™ 1.1-8x24 uses Premier Reticles' illuminated Gen 2 CQB reticle, with 11 brightness levels and a locking illumination dial for storage in the "Off" position. Designed with an off position between each intensity level and an automatic shut-off after 6 hours to preserve battery life, making it quick and easy to operate.
The tactical windage and elevation adjustments on the V8™ 1.1-8x24 also feature our unique Lever-Lock™ dial retention system for tool-less re-zeroing. The adjustments provide 0.1 milliradian (1cm) per click for a total of 17mrad/58moa elevation in one revolution of the Single Turn turret and 11mrad/38moa of windage.
Ocular adjustment range is -3 to +2.5 diopter and can be locked in place once set to the desired position with the use of a simple lock ring, ensuring any adjustment made for your vision will be kept no matter how rough the going gets.
Our V8™ 1.1-8x24 riflescope is based on a super rugged 34mm diameter one-piece main tube and constructed from 6061- T6 aircraft aluminum. All internal parts are precision machined to matching tolerances providing exacting performance, reliability and movement.
All Premier riflescopes come with a fully transferable lifetime warranty and are backed by more than six decades of customer satisfaction.

Corporate History
Premier Reticles was born out of the need for innovation and innovate was what founder Robert "Bob" Thomas did. In 1946, with the end of World War II, US servicemen brought home war booty such as damaged German sniper riflescopes. With no one to fill this niche, Bob Thomas took his optics training from the US Navy Dept. and experience in manufacturing optics for the Norden bombsight to develop methods for making and replacing mechanical (wire) reticles. Reticles, the crosshair aiming point found in all riflescopes became the foundation for which the Thomas family would lay claim to a global reputation for quality and innovation. In 1978, Richard "Dick" Thomas followed in his father's footsteps, continuing to improve and even expand the abilities of Premier Reticles to satisfy the needs of the most demanding shooters, military, Law Enforcement and hunting. Then in 2005, third generation Chris Thomas took the helm, which brought about many changes. In 2008 we embarked on a new chapter by leveraging our extensive experience developed over the past 63 years into designing a completely new generation of riflescopes focused expressly on meeting the unique needs of the professional tactical shooter.
