    Unhappy Premier Reticles, sad loss

    just caught up with this on airgunforum.

    Dick Thomas of Premier Reticles has sadly passed away after complications following a heart transplant.
    I have dealt with Dick Thomas a couple of times on the phone the past few years, A sad loss to all shooting sports and a pioneer in FT reticle design. And a true gent.

    Dick Thomas

    R. I. P. DICK! Thomas, only ever had dealings through Nick Jenkinson, for repairs and fitting of reticules to FT Luepolds. Excellent work he did.
