Topic: FYI Sightron Reticle ChangesPosted: March/09/2008 at 11:03 |
|
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......

Thank you for sharing this info.
May I move this thread to the Rifle Scope Forum so it gets more traffic?

Can you give us the contact info, or what types of reticles can be installed?
