Thread: School me on Leupold CDS turrets

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

Yea my quoted post was nearly 4 years old
When I got the cds on my first vx3 it was basicly a free upgrade as there were no cds in the country and my brand spankers new non cds scope was sent back to have the cds turret installed, now they come with the cds turret by default with a plastic dial under a cap and the cds MOA dial in the box all user fittable.
