i dont know much about scopes, but i did mechanic my way through college and one thing i learned was not to mess with the original factory setup of cars otherwise it seemed like they would become problem prone. is that sort of the same rule with scopes? the reason i ask is b/c i am thinking about sending my scope back to the factory for a different reticle. any thoughts and advise are greatly appreciated.

Re: changing out a reticle
Most factory reticle changes include a rebuild and/or inspection of critical components. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: changing out a reticle
Had my leupold done awhile back and have had no problems so far and as stated above all the critical components are checked and the scope given a once over prior to being returned to you.

Re: changing out a reticle
I suggest calling the manufacturer to check on their procedure and price for that.
Chances are the price will scare you off anyhow
. My 5.5-22 NF was going to be like $500 if I remember correctly. I bought a set of PH and am selling the NF.

Re: changing out a reticle
It would really help if you'd tell us the brand and model you're considering having the swap done on.

Leupold was a decent price to get the TMR installed.

FFP or SFP .....NF just told me last week that a reticle change for my NXS 5.5-22 x 56 SFP would be $250 + $16.50 return shipping. Reticle change on a FFP would be $400 .That is high enough but $500 !!!!!! WOW

Mine is SFP and was quoted with the knobs (going from moa/moa to mil/mil).
I can't remember for sure, but I think it was $506? This was over a month ago now and I didn't even bother writing it down because I knew I wasn't going to get it done.
Oh, and it has zero stop if that makes any difference.

Re: changing out a reticle
For that price I would sell the scope you have and buy a new one with the reticle and adjustments that you want. You will probably come out cheaper in the long run.

I agree with that.....
And to help you out I'll go ahead and give you a fresh $100 dollar bill for your current NF
