Is there anyone still making Tapered Post with Crosshair Reticule???..
I love that thing!.. Since Premier Reticule is no longer doing conversions.. I'm stuck without a source for conversion, let alone buying a new scope.
Thanks for your Help
MM

There are reticles Leupold will install that are not shown online. I'm not sure but check with the custom shop. IIRC someone here had a reticle change done and that's what he got. In Euro scopes that type of reticle is called a #2.

Mike,
I very much agree with your opinion of the post reticle and also miss Premier as I have several scopes that they installed posts in.
Please advise us if Leupold will install a post. I bought one of the new 3X and compromised with that big European German #1 or some such...abysmal thing......the heavy side bars block game shots...
Please keep us informed of availability.

I sent in my old 4X28 Leupold once for a new reticle, and, instead of a Post & Duplex, I got a sort of post and crosshair.
It was a tapered post that came to a point, and a crosswire that ran to the top of the post's point, not below it like the old B&L scopes. The crosswire was pretty thin and had no taper.
While interesting and more desirable to me than the old tapered post and crosswire design, I sent the scope back for the reticle I had ordered. I like the Post & Duplex alot better. Much heavier thick sections and even some ranging ability. E

What do you know, E and I agree on something rifle scope related!  I too like Leupold's Post & Duplex reticle.

Call the custom shop. I've seen several posts here at the campfire stating there are older reticles still available. I would ask a custom shop customer service rep for his email address and email a picture of what you want.

Burris used to offer it but they seem to have dropped it as well. I have it in a 4x Burris on a Marlin .356.
