My scope with CDS has a duplex reticle. The problem with the CDS dial unless they changed it is that the one that comes with the gun is generic which is fine but there’s no zero stop. The custom Dial stops at zero but you have to shoot it through a chronograph and all that fun stuff but it’s accurate. I’m not a long range shooter, don’t forget to post a picture when he shoots his deer The MOA dial that came with mine has the zero stop lock like the custom dial does

I’m not a long range shooter, don’t forget to post a picture when he shoots his deer Count the turns from zero then a zero stop isn't needed.easy fix works great on any scope regardless of turret. So basically zero your rifle then count revolutions till bottom out of turret.that way you'll always know you how to return to zero.you can dial distance with a basic finger adjustable non resettable turret $200 scope by placing a sticker on top of turret and marking a mark every 3 moa on a sticker attached to your turret after you've zeroed.little secret not to many people know about that will get most cartridges to around 1000yrds without a big high dollar turret scope. If y'all interested look up ( marking non resettable turrets for long range) video on youtube this guy can explain it better but he shows same basic thing I'm saying.it works

Only have that scope because I got them with 40% discount. I was very surprised to watch the video of the guy shoot the mule deer at 750 yards. And he’s not that good of a shot anyway. Long range for me is 70 or 80 yards with my bows. I’ll deer hunt a little bit with my rifle or I’ll shoot cows with a damage tag because they don’t wanna shoes and archery gear in case the animal leave the farm. I did let a kid shoot a deer with mine at 3:30 this past season and it was money

I recently bought a Leupold VX3 HD with CDS. I had a fit trying to drop the elevation while bore sighting. I called them twice and they tried to tell me how to do it and that I didn't know anything about sighting a rifle. Nothing worked on their suggestions so I finally decided it was functioning properly when the elevation could not be adjusted. Leupold said send it back and they will fix it. It was brand new and they never said they would replace it so I took it back where I got it from, threw in a few extra hundred dollars and got a Swarovski.
I understand the CDS system and would be great if it had worked.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
