Re: Got my Premier Heritage 5-25x56 Gen 2 XR in!!!
Finally got mine mounted. Overall, I love it. Glass is awesome. Reticle is awesome. Feel of the turrets is also awesome. All around, its very well designed.
A few <span style="font-weight: bold">minor</span> annoyances:
-The Butler Creek cap is one of the new Multi-Flex caps. I don't find these fit or function as well as the originals (A $10 fix...). Had tried them on another scope and it was the same. I also wish they would have put a BC cap on the rear as well, since that push button feature is convinient.
-The grove in the cap that holds the battery is too wide for a coin and the cap material is quite soft. I tired using a nickel to open it and it was starting to mar the material. The slot is possibly the right size for the battery (CR2032)... will see when I get a battery.
-The controls are huge! I like that... but, I haven't found an elegant way to mount both the level and ACI that doesn't block the view of the knobs. Anything mounted in front of the knobs is obscured. Maybe mounting the level on a picatinni ring cap is the ticket. Someone needs to make a a mount for the ACI that incorporates the level. A clamp style mount like the USO level has would be better than those set screws in the ACI mount that need to align with the picatinni ridges.
Awesome scope overall. Any suggestions for mounting the level and ACI?

The way Chris at Premier explained the battery cover slot size to me was, it's cutout to the same size or close to the size of the battery that is going to replace it. Your not suppose to take it off until you have a new battery to replace it. I made the same mistake too of trying to take it off with a coin, only to marr the cap up. I contacted Premier to buy a new cap since it was my fault but they went ahead and sent me a new one for free!

Problem would be that the PH has a 34mm tube.

That is kind of what I had in mind, but as a picatinni mount, with the level positioned above the ACI. The issue with it being on the ring is that it will obscure the knob if mounted on the rear ring and the ACI will be obscured, if mounted on the front ring.
We need to talk Spuhr into making some rings similar to that mount he is making (with the level and ACI mounted to the rear ring).
