Thread: Leupold CDS turret Allen key

I just purchased a near new CDS scope. But No Allen key!

Seems to be an odd size. Anyone know what size it is? Or where to get one?

It’s very small I no that much yea they no longer give you one with the scope but send you one when you order the cds go figure il attempt to measure for you

Google says:
PN 33094 0.050 hex key

Bondhus do them, should be able to find one at an engineering suppliers.
It’s the next size down from 1/16, fuck imperial measurement.

That’s a Leupold part number by the way.

So how are you meant to zero the scope with no allen key to remove the dial?

Yeh, my understanding is you zero the scope normally then loosen the screws and rotate the dial so it reads "0".

Then if needed you can adj OR in my case check if the turret has been bumped.

0.048" is too small.

0.062" is too big.
DOH

Mine measures 1.58mm / 0.062" so 1/16.

0.050, like their website says.

Diff models diff sizes.
Anyway looks like mine is 0.05"
EBay has them for $6.00 delivered. $17 seems a bit rich.

The other sizes are
1/16" or 5/32"

Thx for you help.

The mako Allen key set from the warehouse has it.
Had the same issue when I brought a 2nd hand vx5

With the cheap allen keys make sure the end of the allen key is square on the hex and not rounded or missing the hex shoulders for whatever reason. Shorten it back and clean up the end if so. It sucks trying to get that little allen screw out when it's rounded off I can tell you that much.

Leupold use imperial sized Allen keys, the size your after should be 1/16
