Bushnell 4200 reticule change???

[skeetlee]

Fellas i have a Bushnell 4200 8-32x40 with the regular plex reticule. The scope is really nice but the reticule isnt exactly what i need. I would like to have a target dot instead of the plex. I called Bushnell today and they do not offer this service. They gave me a number for a bill Ackerman but the number was no good. Does anyone have any suggestions for me or info?? Thanks Lee

Lonegone, That's quite interesting. The lady on the phone today said that they do not do this service. I wonder what the real scoop is? Has anyone here had Bushnell do this service, or know of someone who has? Thanks Fellas! Lee

Can't say for sure but maybe if you send a message through the site you'll get a different answer. Worth a try.

I have been going thru this drill with Bushnell for close to a yr.

two yrs. ago, I had my 4200 elite 6 x 24 changed to mil-dots. really like it.

then about 12 months ago, I called & inquired about my elite 8 X 32 to have mil-dots in it. they said the service was not available at the time. I told them your website shows you offer it. there reply, website needs updated, & about 2 weeks later it showed not available.
they told me they could not get the reticlues for the 4200, that's why they couldn't do it.

seems like only a few companies make the reticules ( they said they don't) & since they couldn't get any, they cancelled the service. check back later.

every three months, last time , three weeks ago, I called. they told me they were not offering the service. I pointed out, they had changed their websitte to now showing the service was available. since I check it often, they had done it with in the previous week.

I was told, some one made a mistake, on changing the website, & the service for the 4200 was not available.

I have been thinking about just sending my scope in with the $55.00, telling them to change it, as shown on their web site. of course they would probably send it back, but maybe the people in Bushnell can decide, they do or don't.

I finally talked with a tech/ engineer and he told me they could change the retical. It would cost 50 bucks and take 3 weeks. In the mean time i found a good deal on a s3 so i am going to sell the 4200. The 4200 is a great scope but i needed a dot. Lee
