Just bought a Vx3i with the CDS. The scope (includes vx6 etc) already come with a MOA turret so you can use it like any other dial up scope. You get one free CDS dial . You send your custom infor for your ammo away and they send you a CDS dial that you replace the MOA one with and you set to go.
You can get a zero stop no problem if you ask. You can get one rotation with that or not, your choice. i got a zero stop. You can set it in metres or yards , what ever you want.
Heres what i did.
I set my one for the Hornady 165 gr sst. Set it at a zero of 100m. Got a zero stop . Arrived within two weeks, with all your infor on top of the dial (ie bullet, speed, temp etc) Its set for metres.
So i just replace my MOA turrent thats already on it.
I put my new CDS dial set on 1 on the hash mark. Its set at 100m. If i want to shoot at 350m i just turn the dial to 3.5 and its all set to 350m. easy as. With the zero stop i can dial straight to 500m, plenty for what i want to do. if i didnt have a zero stop i could dial further. If i change ammo you can get another CDS dial for 59US or just replace the CDS dial with the MOA dial and use a cheat sheet and dial as you wish.
Its that easy
