    I was a dialing skeptic for a long time, but things have changed. Holdover scopes seem to all have 2 main problems:
    1) the reticles never seem to have marks where I want them that correspond with particular distances
    2) they always seem to be second focal plane, which means the reticle marks don't represent a specific distance throughout the magnification range.

    What changed my mind about dialing was the Leupold CDS system, which is simple enough for my peanut brain to get, especially when in the throes of buck fever. I think I speak for many occasional hunters who harvest animals at modest distances, rather than the 400m plus crowd who are more diligent about practice on the range and fully comfortable with their rifle, scope and load at extended ranges.
