Leupold Retical

[Asscott4]

I was wondering how much it would cost to change the retical in my Vx3 8.5-25x50mm Long range target scope? Also would it be worth it? It has a Varmint Hunter retical right now, but I would like to have it converted to a Mildot. Thanks again.

Just call Leupold. The only thing i never liked about the VH reticle in scopes above the 4.5-14x is that it's not calibrated for the optic's highest power. IMO, it's an excellent ballistic and rangefinding reticle due to the more accurate system of windage reference it provides. I especially like the 3 1.77 MOA windage stadia right along the horizontal axis. That way u could use them for windage reference if u just want to twist a turret...but that's not what their subtension is at 25x in the 8.5-25.

Which is also dependent on the ballistics of the caliber in question.

I found the 6.5-20 w/ the VHR coincides quite nicely with a 6-284 on twenty power.

Leupold did change rectical for 110 dollars a while back but may have gone up
