    So.....

    Need to remove the ocular eyebrow protector rubber ring to fit Alumina caps

    Mushy elevation and windage dial clicks

    Very limited forward tube mounting area

    Fairly obvious design flaws if thats the case.


    Do they get a Big thumbs down ???

    Having to remove the rubber ring is no issue as far as I can see.

    The CDS turret makes a big difference to the way the standard turrets feel but they still aren't what I would call amazing. Call them good with the CDS installed.

    The limited mounting space forward of the turret housing is really only an issue if your scope mounting setup has limited adjustment like my Blaser for example. If you're running a rail you should be sweet.

    They get a pass as far as I'm concerned right now but it will be interesting to see what the retail price in NZ will be.

    Anyone had a CDS turret fitted to a VX 6 yet, and are you happy with it ?
