Rifle Scopes US Optics question

[Shumba]

If I buy a used SN3 US Optics scope, can I send it back to US Optics to install the Extended Eye Reflief eyepiece? I would like to buy one for my 50 BMG and I found one for a good price, but it does not have the EER.

If I sent it to US Optics, would they j ust charge me the $250 to install it?

Approximately how long would it take?

Thanks.

Tim

Why not call USO tomorrow and ask them?

Re: US Optics question

+1 for call and ask - or email Jeff. I bought an ST10 used and sent it back to have illumination installed - all they charged me was the cost of the illumination option + return shipping. They *do* charge a 3% "surcharge" if you use a credit OR debit card which I thought was a bit - well never mind. But they are nice folks and they got my scope back to me fast fast fast.

Re: US Optics question

I just had a USO sent in for a repair and I asked to have the reticle changed. They told me it would be $300-400 for the labor + new reticle. That's too much for me.

Re: US Optics question

Changing the eyepiece is a helluva lot easier than changing the reticle.....thats why it's so much!

Re: US Optics question

USOs are put together so damn well that taking one apart to get to the reticle is a real PITA, thats why the labor cost is high, cause it takes a lot of labor.

Re: US Optics question

You guys aren't taking into consideration the cost of the eyepiece, labor probably isn't much at all.

Re: US Optics question

I was reading too fast, labor is probably much more intensive when changing the reticle.

Re: US Optics question

Ya, I would call for 1st hand info. before sending it in for any service/repair. I have been quoted 3-4 weeks to get turnaround @ this time.

Are you referring to the turnaround time for the OP's request for EER change? JBWIII is the one who quoted the price and approximate work time, don't know how much more of a "1st hand info" you can get...

Re: US Optics question

hey guy totally understand & I did read it but just because it only, Quoted..." ten minutes job". or ( Work Time)
That does Not necessarily mean that you are automatically moved strait to the front of the line, To be put in front of build orders and other repair and service that was there way before you sent your glass in for repair or service.
Or maybe it does mean that you will be bumped to the front of the line ? Don't know and don't work there but I called & was told that they are way swamped with work @ this moment.
All I said was that I was agreeing with ( usmcj's post ), to call 1st hand and get the skinny.

Why would it not make sense? Instead of having a discount for cash, they just up charge the CC processing fee for people that want to use that option. I'm ok with that. I'd rather not pay an extra 3% across the board to cover someone else wanting to be lazy and use a CC rather then cert funds.
