Just wanted to pass along infor given to me by phone call to Sightron. Those interested in reticle changes to new SIII SS6-24x50 LR and SIII SS 8-32x56 LR scopes, Sightron has an approved point of contact that does Sightron and Leupold reticle changes. And it does not void the warranty if not the cause of a problem. They will also send the customer's reticle to the same place if the scope is warrantied,so It can be reinstalled in a replacement scope.They do not pay for the replacement of it. Their warrany people now understand that having to wait for a replacement is not good for customer satisfaction, so a replacement scope is a fast turn around.Though they do not expect that to be something that we will see with the new quality controls put in place. Another example of a company listening to their customers. BTW the glass in the new SIII scopes is infact the best ED glass available from Japan...now the same quality as the so called UP-Market Scopes......just my 2c worth ...in trying to buy a decent Target scope for LR......

May I move this thread to the Rifle Scope Forum so it gets more traffic?

This is an email I sent to Bill below. This should help further clarify some things.

Bill, John,
We can build a fine X-hair for you. The cost is $110.00. We can install a mil-dot reticle which is an array of dots, 4 up, 4 down, 4 left and 4 right, all spaced 31/2 MOA apart. The cost is $110.00, plus $10.00 a dot for a total of $270.00. We do not make hash marks. A fine X-hair is just your target dot without the dot. All charges include return shipping, taxes, and insurance.

Called regarding available reticles. I was looking for the #4. It appears that the only ones offered are fine, ultra fine (?) and dot reticles. Price is 110 and that includes return shipping and tax.
