Re: Who puts reticles in Leupold scopes?
Leupy will probably not work on it if someone else has been in it, especially if modifications were done, as is the case with your scope. Nobody else (PR, etc.) can do it now either, because leupy ultimately doesn't care what the customers want, and they choose to keep everything in house now (under threat of lawsuit). Why? Greed, Liability, etc. This is what happens when bloodsucking lawyers and accountants call all the corporate shots. IMHO, Leupold betrayed the sub-contractors, and on some level the shooting community, by making the business decisions that they have in the last few years.
Their business model, plus the lack of stellar glass for the price point, steer me away from them every time. Lots of chinese internals in the lower end leupys too, which just reinforces the fact that it's all about the money, not the customer. I know this is prevalent in many manufacturers, but it doesn't make me feel any better about having it there.
In the same price range as the mark 4's, look at a Nightforce or a Zeiss. They will not leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.
