I've heard that you can send scopes to leupold and/or custom reticle companies and get the reticle and the knobs changed out... what does that typically cost?

I have a 8.5-25x VX3 with the varmint reticle and 1/4 moa knobs... if I wanted to have it modified to be mil-dot and tactical 0.1 mil knobs, is that feasible, and does anyone have a ballpark on what that'd cost to do?

I don't think they are converting to .1 mil knobs at the moment. You'd probably be better off selling it and buying what you want.

You can prob get the turret in mils, but your clicks will still be .07 mil each. Not sure if Leupold has different click detents, worth an email to find out. In all reality I think Tyler nailed it.

$160 for TMR and $130 for M1s, installed in a VX3. Turnaround was 3 weeks or so.

Like already mentioned, don't think you can get .1mil turrets installed, but you may want to call to be sure.

Perfect, that's exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

A close friend of mine just sent three 8.5-25x VX3's in to have the TMR installed, cost was $165 bucks. He shipped them on 19Jan and is getting them back today per a phone call from Leupold. Considering there's a weekend in there that's pretty impressive.
