Most of the time you can get a CDS added. E-mail them and tell them what you want.

It can be added, but you're money ahead to sell it off and buy a new one with CDS.

In the instance of the 2.5-8x36, the CDS is not available... so "it depends."

Leupold went stupid pricey. I was quoted $200 for a simple reticle change. I'm drifting away from Leupold.

You might check with Kenton, I believe they can do it. Got one of theirs for an SWFA a while back and if IRC it was under $100. Of course with changing atmospheric conditions and elevations it is only a guideline but still close enough out to 500 yards or so. I have found for really long distance you need a ballistics program.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
