    The vx 6 can have the cds turret on both windage and elevation.
    However you only get one free. I was told around 80nz for another from nz Asia but Im sure you would get cheaper online.
    They are easy to take on and off the 6 without changing zero or anything so you could go back to caps for bush if you wanted but i have never had any problems with the one on my vx3 haven't had the 6 long enough to comment but can't see it being a problem.
    I recon your on the right track with mag range.
    I got a 4.5-14x50lr back when they came out trying to make my rifle long range and bush capable but if Im honest it ruined it as a bush gun.
    The 2-12 vx 6 is fantastic in the bush with enough top end for long range.

    VC, is it only on the VX6 that you can fit CDS to wind age, or would hat work on VX3/2 CDS modes as well ?

    Im not 100 percent on this but i think you can get lupys custom shop to fit the cds turret into the windage on the 3.

    I probably won't bother getting the windage one on my 6 haven't had the need as on a hunting rifle i won't shoot in much wind at all and i just hold a bit for it.

    The odd time on gongs i just take the cap off.

    Haven't noticed any extra or less weight but Im not the kind of guy that weighs everything. Couldn't tell you what any of my rifles weigh.

    6 on right 3 on left.

    The clicks are more audible on The 3 the dial is far easyer to read on the 6.

    20moa per turn on the 6 15moa per turn on the 3

    vortex get a good rep, i quite like the 4-16 power range, i have a burris XTR 4-16 and it is pretty nice, very reliable adjustments which is what i was after, i still reckon 4 is slightly on the high side for close stuff.

    Heres my new toy, sightron s3 6-24, purchased from optic zone. havent actually used it yet but if your looking for solid audible clicks would be hard to go past this, lifetime warranty also
