Changing Scope Recticle - Leupold

[buckfever1974]

I'm looking into getting the recticle changed out on my Leupold VX-III.  For the last 15 years or so it has had the Heavy Duplex and I'm looking to swap it out with the Regular Duplex.  Has anyone ever sent their scope into Leupold to have this process done.  Was it successful and the scope worked properly when it came back?

Sounds interesting , have you called them and ask if they offer that service and what’s the cost ?? Please post your response 

Thanks and Good Luck

Never had that done, send them a email to the service dept and see what they say. The very few times I've ever had to send any of their scopes back they have always responded back quick.

Doubtful  that they do that

They 'll do it.  I think they charge $75

I know of person that had them change the recticle, contact the custom shop

I haven't done it to one of their scopes, but I've done it with other optical equipment in the past (mostly refractometers).  It's an O-ring with a notch (usually) that slides into and out of place.  Very easy to change.  However, Leopold scopes are gas-filled so they don't fog up, so it's a sealed system.  Best to have them do it because they'll do it right.

They will change a reticle, it used to be $25 as stated above, it is now a lot more.  Good luck!

Thanks for the reminder, my vx2 is now packed up and ready to ship back for a tight power ring.

 

 Being leupold i would be confident that it will come back right otherwise they would have to repair it again on their dime.

Have had several scope reticles changed by Leupold.  Be prepared for a $200 bill though.

Just buy a new a new for what it cost probably

My cousin has gone online the other day while we were talking about it and saw that Leupold does the change but I didn't realize it was an option.  I am sentimental about my gear.  I don't like to sell firearms or stop using a piece of equipment like a scope outright.  I have killed a lot of deer with my .30-06 and that VXIII.  I just stopped being a fan of the heavy duplex somewhere along the way.
