Steve and Scoot here, we just had a
nice morning of shooting with the Leupold CDS dial, CDS again is custom
dial system.
With many of the VX2 line
the VX3 line and the VX6 you have
the opportunity to send into Leupold your ballistic information,
including atmospheric conditions, temperature, elevation, humidity.
-In general
if you know where you're going to be hunting you're going to want to get the elevation,
what you what you think the temperature is going to be about and
that will help them build the dial to be actually specific to that area.
-Right, and if your hand loader, you can give them all of your ballistic information
and your ballistic coefficient of your type of projectile,
lyour velocity, or if you don't know any these things in
let's say you just have for Federal Premium
30-06 189 grain Osler give that to him they'll do that too. -Absolutely
What you get in the mail is the CDS
dial, the scope that you get has quarter minute clicks, so you can use
this right out of the box just like
any other scope. -Yepp When you easily
install this CDS dial and all it really takes
is an
allen wrench. -Comes with the dial That comes with the dial.
You loosen these three, pop the top
and the other CBS dial you can see the
three stainless set screws,
you would put this than this this
scope here that's this dial is bill at a 100
so it's gonna 0 at 100 to we have zero disco
we would have 0 the scope on are gone yet and so now
we will will will put this on and then one
when we tighten it down we want the the 100
yard mark right to be right in the headline there right and
lot of people will put a little too much torque an issue no need to teach us
just not get out this time it's not gonna move I promise you yeah
now the scope that we're should not this morning that the scope that you had on
your Ruger
was your at 200 yet so it yet shoot that's a very flattering cartridge
so everything is going to be the same out the 200-yard basically with that
with that right and what I really really like about the CDS dial
on the BX to Zen into the x3 is is you have what's called a zero stop a lot of
folks don't know what that is
but it now this and I'll is correctly installed
and if I wanna Shoop 100 yards I leave it 200-yard
you put it and to 225 you put an end to 2525 you but I'm 525 in a zero stop
means
if you're aiming at a target right
and you don't shoot you simply turn the dial
in it automatically stops atwater's 0 dis
right on this occasion 100-yard right I its ingenious and again
in its stated on top so you can buy different dials
exactly so I wanted to if I'm in aid use this load for whitetail hunting
here in Illinois that's what this is built for
but now our son I wanna go to a heavier bullet or a different type a ball at
and I'm gonna go up into the mountains to go elk hunting I'll could have a dial
built for that
so this will tell me what Nile I have on my I might
the CDS dial is the simplest way
hyping I i doing to shoot a gun confidently at long distances
there's no Christmas tree radical there's no stadia lines there's no busy
picture in your in your field of view
you simply range your target
put that distance on your CD s style
hold where you want your point impact to be
and pull the trigger I recommended very highly it's not an entry-level scope
this is a good product
that your grandkids will have hang and II
like the VX three line with the CDS Thailand I use it a lot
I really like great do
