I know there have been request in the past for pictures of Leupold's #4 reticle and I just picked this scope up that has the #4 reticle. Just posting for reference- ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/dgdh62x.jpg)

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I have a Leup 3x Big Bore with the German #4 on the way, looking forward to receiving it!

My buddy’s 2.5-8 w/#4 added by Leupold looks nothing like that. His is way heavier. While yours looks great, his is damn near unusable.

That looks much better than what they show on the Custom Shop site.

A LEUPOLD 2.5-8 WITH this ret would be nice for my

I have a 1.5-5 with the #4 and I'd like to get a #4 in my 2.5-8 but I can't force myself to remove it from the BLR.
Your post just rubs my face in it.

I have a 3-9 x 40 with the same reticle, plus electronic dot in the middle. The dot is very small, so it does not get in the way. I got it from CameraLand.

I purchased the scope used, I assumed it was added from the custom shop?

Nice #4 reticles. I like them a lot, it's a shame that the custom shop charges so much for a reticle change.

Better off to buy new from the Custom Shop with a reticle you want than to have a reticle change in a scope you're sending in.

That's a great hunting reticle.
