Sending a scope to Burris for reticule swap?
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2010 10:41 pm
Has anyone had this done through Burris? I bought a used 6-24X44 Burris Signature Select with the "plex" reticule and I am considering shipping it to them to swap out the reticule. I noticed after receiving it that the elevation dial that has the elevation marks on it moves independently of the actual turret. The windage turret is ok though. So I am debating... I need to send it to them to repair the turret, should I go ahead and have them install a target dot reticule ($60 to change reticule).
My other thought is to just have it repaired and then sell it and put the money I would have spent on the target dot along with the funds from the sale of the Burris and purchase a 6-24x Leupold with a dot.
The Burris is nice, but it has the Stoney Point target turrets instead of factory turrets. I can also have Burris install target turrets for an additional $80.
I'd have $440 into the scope after the changes, and if I sell the Stoney Point target turrets that would knock that down a small amount.
One thing about the Burris is that it only focuses (is that a word?) down to 50 yards (from 50yds on up to 600yds). I think the AO is intended for centerfire.
I'm kind of thinking out loud. I'm going to give it a trial on Sunday in a match.
