    Removing a Premier Reticle 18-40 from Leupold scope

    I assume it would be possible to remove the "Premier Reticle 18-40" from my Leupold 6.5-20 x 50 VARI X III but can anyone advise or recommend somewhere to change this back to the standard mag (6.5-20)? I assume the scope will contain nitrogen so don't really want to do myself as I have no away of refilling it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Funny you should mention this as I was only thinking yesterday that my Vari-x3 boosted to 14.5-35 would probably be better for me in it's original spec.

    Just send it back to Leupold, they will happily take all Premier Reticules mods off the scope and restore it to factory standard.

    I think Scimitar paid about £80 including shipping.

    Have Leupold got their 'new' European service agent / centre up and running yet? That would be an even easier route.

    As Mac said but why devalue something far superior.

    I had the last Dick Thomas converted June 2005, worth 40% more than standard spec.
    Nick did a couple of Mark 4 ret changes.

    Goods news is looks like you dont have to get an export and import licence.

    Isn't there an issue for Leupold exporting scopes over 9x mag?

    As for removing the PR work from a Leupold, unless there is a problem with it, I'd sell it on here and buy the regular version... the boosted Leupolds (depending on spec) are quiet sought after.

    They used to be in FT, but they're much rarer on the national circuit these days.
