    Anyone here have problems with either windage or elevation knobs not working when dis engaging the throw levers when resetting to zero? I re zeroed today but the windage knob still stayed engaged even after dis engaging the throw lever and unscrewing a many turns. En essence I could not zero out my windage.

    On a side note does Premier still have a service center, looks like they moved to Canada or something?

    Thoughts or insights much appreciated.

    Sako!
     
    Sako,

    You not only have to unscrew the lever 2 full turns, but you have to pull out the turret slightly. IT isn't in the instructions, but is in an addendum that Paul Lange sent me. He is still servicing the Premiers in the states (Virginia I believe).

    Have you gotten it resolved? We do recommend slightly pulling up on the dial to help release the mechanism. If you PM me your email address I will email you the updated instructions. Depending on the tolerances you may have to do it on one or more of the dials- that is why you may not have to pull up on the elevation.

    Premier still has a service center in Winchester, VA. It is run by me. If you need any service let me know.
    Thanks,
    Paul
