reticle change ?

Post by cynergyguy »

I am new to this site and have a savage LRPV in 204r with a leupold VXIII 6.5 x 20x50 fine crosshair and would like to change the reticle to the varmint hunters reticle would anyone know what that might cost, or would it be better to just get a new scope and sell the one I now have, any help would be great.

According to their literature the Leupold Custom Shop will do that change. I've never checked price, but it would be worth $100 to me.

Right now the cost of a reticle change is about $130. Your scope is one of the candidates for such a change. Not cheap by any means, but the VHR is the best reticle I've ever used and worth the expense, at least to me.

One thing you may consider is going to SWFA and trade it in on the one you want.

Just a thought...

I didn't know they would do a trade, How does that work exactly? I am not sure were they are located but will they do it over the phone ? Over the net ?

The way it works is;

1. Go to their website at http://www.swfa.com. When it loads;

2. On the left hand side of the page about 2/3'rds of the way down the page look for a link called "The Sample List". Open it up and when it loads;

3. Click on the image or, click on http://www.samplelist.com. If you select view entire list everything opens up, binoculars, scopes, range finders and so on... At the top center of the page you'll see a trade in form. Just fill it out and submit. You can also give them a call at 1-972-SCOPE-IT (726-7348). They're on CST.

I've bought my last 2 scopes from there (Zeiss 4.5-14x50 & Leupold VX-3 8.5-25x50). Great folks to work with and to boot, they have a forum called "Optics Talk". It's a real friendly place, just like here. The link to the "Optics Talk Forum" it is located just below the "View Sample List" link.

Enjoy....
