Nightforce reticle change question

[GAnderson]

Does anyone other than Nightforce have the ability to change the reticle in a Nightforce Comp scope? I have one of the Silver NF Comp scopes that I believe was discontinued in 2013 and in speaking with nightforce, they say they no longer work on the older models scopes. My scope has the fine cross hair with dot but the dot is significantly larger than the current production of NF Comp scopes and all I am wanting is the dot smaller in my scope...thus my question as to whether or not any other place can can possibly change the reticle.

Thanks,
Gene

I obviously have the same Nightforce scope you do. When I inquired about getting a recticle change they told me no that they had changed some of the parts in the newer line of scopes that the older model like ours has no parts to accommodate a recticle change.
I was disappointed to say the least.

Yes, that is what they told me...I know premier used to do Leupold scopes and T.K. Lee used to do Nikon scopes, but I have never heard of anyone doing reticle work/changes on Nightforce scopes. Was hoping maybe someone had a lead on any place that might do Nightforce scopes, but I doubt that anyone is doing them.

Thanks,

If you find out that some other company is offering that service on our Nightforce scopes give me a shout.
Thanks.

Nightforce reticles are etched into one the lenses which is why no one does reticle changes.

Hi Gene, saw you sold one of your pulsars! Like to know what new model you went with?
As for retical changes, I would check with Cheryl Ackerman at Optical Services maybe she can guide you in the right direction. I just got a weaver T36 back from her about 3 weeks ago and it was a pleasant experience.

Hey Kevin, I originally got the new XP60 series Pulsar and then decided I wanted more base magnification, so sold it and got the XG60 LRF model. I will be selling my other scope the XG50 LRF and will be getting the XL60 LRF to replace it.
I will check out Optical Services and see what they have to say about the Nightforce. I assume they have a web site?

Even on models that NF will change, the price has gone up for the service so much that it likely is cheaper to sell yours and find what you want elsewhere...in most cases at least.
