[QUOTE="gonewest, post: 635447, member: 23791"] I have a S&B klassic scope 3X12X42 with a 7A recticle. I didn't realise that with a first focal scope the cross hairs got fatter as you went up in power. No one around me inventoried S&B scopes so I wasn't able to look at one before I bought one. But reading the reviews and all the forums said that this is a great scope. From day one I really didn't like the idea of having fat cross hairs and them getting larger. When I shoot at paper the cross hairs block most of the bullseye. I called S&B last week and talked to a head service manager and he said that they could switch out the recitle an go to a sightly thinner one but at a cost of $550 bucks. I told the guy hey look I can buy a Zeiss conquest brand new for cheaper than that. They figure I guess if you got the money to spend on their scope you can throw money away. I know its not the same but my cousin sent in a old Redfield widefield to have the recticle changed an it was only 80 dollars. I'm not rich. I bought their scope because I wanted a great scope that at this time in my life would probably last the rest of my life and felt I deserved it because I worked and saved all my life. I even asked him why the Summit went up 400 dollars than when it w first out and he could only say it was an intro offer. By the way my S&B is for sale in the optics for sale section. [/QUOTE]
