Reticles in FFP scopes can not be changed.
An illuminated reticle can not be put into a non-illuminated scope.
A non-illuminated reticle can not be put into an illuminated scope.
For SFP scopes the reticle can be changed in your present scope to another reticle that is a standard option for that model of scope. In other words, a Reticle can be changed only to another one that is within its group.
These are the groups:
① CH, Dot, Di-plex
② MTR-1, MTR-2, MTR-3, MTR-4, MTR-5, MTR-FT, MML, MTR-D2, MTR-D3
③ FD-1, FD-D2
Deon Optical Design / March doesn’t change the reticle of the scope to a reticle of a different group (i.e., from crosshair type reticles to MTR type reticles) due to the difference of the inner structure of the scope.
The last known prices for reticle change that we have, for scopes still in the warranty period, is $270.00 USD. And for scopes that are past the warranty period $490.00 USD.
Please first read all the information below and then contact March Scopes Japan by email at info@deon.co.jp to get a quote on the current price for reticle change. Deon/March's prices are typically quoted in US dollars.
They will happily assist you and be able to better answer all your questions in regard to shipping and what the cost will be for non warranty alterations or repairs. Then arrange for the Reticle changes, repairs and Warranty work that you require.
The shipping from Canada to Japan with $ 1,000.00 insurance is about $150.00 Canadian dollars (it is difficult to get an exact quote from the post office). We are not sure what the shipping back from Japan will cost.
There are a couple of wrinkles you should know about before proceeding.
The Canada Post office will only insure international parcels for loss at a maximum of $1,000.00. So there is a risk there that you will have to assume unless you can get some third party insurance.
You can check your home or business insurance, sometimes there is coverage for goods being shipped.
Should someone wishes to proceed with a reticle change please first check for the latest update on shipping from Japan. You can talk directly to March/Deon about your return shipping options by emailing directly to March Scopes Japan at info@deon.co.jp
