    I'm interested in the 3-18x44 model but I'm not so sure on the turrets to be honest. I've heard to much bad hype on the CDS design on both forums. I've contacted Leupold about installing M1 turrets, but unfortunately they can't/won't.

    Does anybody know if they come with the CDS MOA turret on both the elevation and windage turrets? Or is it only the elevation turret and a normal capped windage turret?

    Anyone received their VX6 yet?

    The 3-18 x44 and 50 are looking like a really smart choice for lightweight rifles.

    Yep i have a VX6 3-18x50 side focus CDS here. It comes with a normal capped turret and you have to send away back to Leupold for the CDS turret to be made. I have just requested the CDS dial be marked in 1/4 MOA. You cannot fit a CDS dial to the windage turret apparently.

    It sounds like they make ones that fit, but you need to remove the rubber ring off the ocular lens.

    Any chance of some detailed photo's of the turrets with the caps removed and secondly, what's your initial thoughts on the turrets?

    The turrets feel horrible. I'm hoping the CDS makes them better. Custom turret turnaround time is 4-8 weeks.

    Other than that, they are a nice mid range scope.
