Rifle Scopes Changing reticle in a Leupold?

[pepperbelly]

If I decide that I want a different reticle in my Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x40 EFR, about how much does it cost?
For instance my scope now has the Target Dot reticle. If I wanted a TMR reticle what would be an estimate of what i would have to spend?

No problem, I had the same exact scope and sent it to have the tmr reticle
Put in it. Leupold charged 100 and the shipping hit me for 15 bucks. I heard they went up a little recently but not much. The plus side of the deal was it only took them 2 weeks to get it back to me. Lucky I guess?

I think the ad was on one of the newsgroups. The seller was in Houston. What do these scopes sell for? I paid $400.00 shipped and it looks new- no marks anywhere I can find.
