    Yes
    We all want different things from different scopes.
    And have different budgets
    Recently wanted something light that would dial to 1000, I normally consider the Z5 the go to but 13moa on the turret had to re think.
    VX6 with zero stop no go only one turn
    Vx6 tmoa, no has silly alloy cap rather than cds, 3-18x50 vx6 firedot Job done.

    Spending 1650 on a vortex no way.
    Swarovski Z3 3-12x50 moa cap $1700 job done, with a bonus you'll actually be able to see through it.
    And is the same weight as this Vortex thing

    What's this silly alloy cap that you mention @BRADS ?

    The VX6 3-18x44 TMOA that I am looking at online says that it has CDS.

    It's cds Matt but not a true cds as it capped like the 6-24 vx6, it's not weather proof with the cap off and it's a very small little turret.
    I don't like the caps, I think the thread is to fine and it's something to get lost,

    Well that's crap, I was going to get one but might grab one with the Wind reticle instead now as I like the true CDS also.

    Seems silly to me as tmoa is a great reticle!
    Windplex I think is only available with illumination and zero stop.

    The Wind reticle only comes with ZL, zero lock, ok if you don't want to dial past 18 or so moa.

    Are you saying that the CDS turret is not exposed, it's covered by the cap?
    I thought that Leupold had recently started offereing the TMOA 3-18's with exposed MOA turret's on both the windage and elevation turrets, and you have options for a normal CDS. Like this.

    That would be mint but if just released then we probably have a 3 month wait
