Hi @B.pope, hopefully you see this as I know I'm late to the thread but I've just purchased the exact same scope (only a few serial numbers different from yours actually). It's secondhand but unused/brand new condition and I purchased it as it was advertised as Mils/MRAD (bit disappointed to hear its MOA). I found your post today and was hoping I could get some updated information. Did you end up sending your scope to S&B in the end to have it converted? How much did it cost etc? Cheers

Hi mate, yes I had it sent back to S&B through gin city as they were the agents and I still had the purchase receipt. I had to pay the freight (approx $200) & it took 6 months but that was gun city fault. There was another option they gave which was to to refit a recalibrated turret adjuster to substitute Moa clicks to Mil but I wouldn’t have a bar of it as it’s just not right so had the complete turrets replaced with mrad.
Great scope now but a real much around

Pm me if I can help

Does the serial of the scope match the box? Had a case a while back where the wrong box was given with the scope, not that helpful considering the mix up between moa and mil...

I think by the person I communicated with in S&B Germany (Klaus was his name), there were a number of these scopes imported to Nz by I’d say GC and there were built intended for USA market (where they seem to have a culture history of not minding to mix up mil reticule with MOA adjustment) but few ended up here. place like GC may likely cut the teather once sale done but it did find S&B to uphold super service & rate them highly if you deal with them direct!

@B.pope I'll check to see if the serial numbers match. My dial is identical to yours so I'd say I've got one that's MOA which is unfortunate. I'll probably get in touch with S&B and see if they'll do the same to mine, turn it into an mrad scope etc. I'm unfortunately not the original owner and I don't have the original receipt so that might be an issue. Surely it would just take a new turret dial with finer steps in it? Could you take a photo of the inside of the top turret if at all possible?

It may be a new dial and graduation on the click ratchet inside the dial, or it may require a whole new erector and windage assembly with the different internal thread pitch... Either way the factory will probably want to regas and reseal it for their reputation, so it is what it is. Might be easier in the term of timeframe etc etc to find a replacement and resell that one off to some old bugger with a non-metric brain?
